FPV launches Coyote V8 as Miami


Recommended Posts

GT500 here it comes!

Nah, look out for more cubes (than what the GT500 currently has). A famous number, too.

 

 

I was told there were two engine projects, "Hollywood" and "Miami"

Hollywood (North American) for lighter Mustang and Auto/manual transmissions.

Miami (Australian) for heavier Falcon and ZF transmission.

"Hollywood" was the 6.2 litre Boss in the Falcon, along with the US' auto box to go with it. That was scrapped for "Miami".

 

Saintlaz1, it's the project name.

Considering the FPV F6 (turbo 6) is rated to 310kW by FPV but consistently measures above 280rwkw on our chassis dynos - which have a higher percentage loss than those in the US (~22%) - I would almost guarantee this is 335kW is closer to 360kW. This is without an intercooler and very little psi.

Also consider that this only spins to 6000rpm, so from that, also, you can see it's not only grossly under rated, but pegged back a fair bit in terms of rpms - the 1.9 litre unit can is good for a whole more psi at much more revs.

 

(Out of the box the F6 is good for 12.4-12.5 down the quarter. It weighs 4000lbs)

 

Barring all that, to have peak torque @ 2200rpm (all the way to 5500rpm) does a fair bit to the heart rate.

 

There's another reason Ford in Australia are hesitant to quote higher numbers: history has shown the media here will crucify Ford in particular when they've upped the ante. They (the media) caused the abortion of the Phase 4 GTHO, they also caused a stir when FPV released the original F6 with 550Nm of torque. There is a reason for FPV's comments from the first article below.

"We're not about the numbers on the back of the car ... I don't think we're in a space where we're going to be chasing what our competitors are doing," he notes. He also dismisses suggestions more power will encourage hoon behaviour, while linking the engine's "bloodlines" to the legendary GT-HO.

 

"I reject the notion that the people who buy these vehicles are irresponsible," he says. "If you look at some of the performance cars coming out of Europe, we are not out of step with the power figures or torque figures.''

 

FPV general manager Rod Barrett says potential owners are encouraged to learn how to drive their machines properly.

 

"Everybody who buys an FPV will get a drive day with John Bowe Driving," he says. "A lot of our owners are the type who check the weather forecast before taking their cars out of the garage, so that gives a good idea of how they value their cars.''

 

 

 

 

And another thing... the ZF auto was already rated to 600Nm prior to the changes and upgrades listed in the above post. One wonders why they had to do all that when they've quoted the torque to "570"Nm.

I was thinking either that, or a 7.0 L (427 ci) Boss? There was a 7.0 L rumored...

 

I think the 427 would be a bit overkill...a very limited run or 2000 or so would be nice, but I think the 351 would be a better overall engine in weight and performance in a Cobra, errr GT500 LOL

?....Moami for the Aussie version???? wouldnt Bondai Beach or something local have been more apt?

I agree...427 seems a bit much when a 351 would suffice. Of course, the GT500 isn't about sufficient! :hysterical:

600hp would be a good incremental jump over the current car's 550hp. And I agree, TT > Supercharger

V8 Twin Turbos?

perhaps when Ford gets some experience with packaging the V6 EB, they might revisit that topic,

the supercharged route was just easier to do......

Yeah, it doesn't look like the most space-efficient package.

 

I'm not up on packaging that much, so I ask... what would you recommend?

Just that at design stage, engineers can move the engine bay shape around and maximize space utilization when they have an idea where Ecoboost components need to sit. The current Falcon platform hasn't been designed to do that and I'd expect that we will see some brilliant engineering at play in the future. I'm comforted by the idea of really small V6 and V8 Ecoboost engines that give outstanding power and fuel economy, we're not there yeat but if gas prices turn nasty, I'm confident that RWd can access 400 hp with very few liters of capacity.

 

Performance never goes away, it just changes its delivery mode...
