2007 FPV Cobra

Thirty years ago the Ford Falcon XC Hardtop staged the now famous 1-2 victory formation at the 1977 Bathurst 1000, which led to the release of the limited edition Cobra XC Hardtop the following year. "The Cobra name invokes passion among motoring enthusiasts, and now 30 years after the famous 1-2 win at Bathurst, the new FPV GT Cobra offers the exclusivity of Cobra ownership to a new generation of car owners," said FPV General Manager Rod Barrett.

"The new FPV GT Cobra combines the original XC Cobra's bold styling with the latest in FPV engineering and total performance." The new Boss 302 engine powering both the sedan and Ute variants produces 302 kW of power and 540 Nm of torque, and is equipped with FPV stainless steel fabricated exhaust manifolds and a high flow dual exhaust system.

The GT Cobra has a limited slip differential and is available with either a close ratio six-speed manual transmission with a high torque clutch or the ZF six-speed automatic transmission with Sequential Sports Shift. FPV's R Spec handling package is fitted as standard. The white exterior features blue striping across the bonnet, roof and rear deck lid, and is completed by the unique Cobra badge on each front guard, plus exclusive R Spec badging.

Both variants are fitted with leather seats as standard, with each seat carrying the coiled snake Cobra logo. Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 245/35ZR tyres are fitted to special 19" five spoke alloys with white accents and a machined face finish. Production will be limited to 400 sedans and 100 Utes. Each will come with a unique Cobra build badge identity.

The GT Cobra sedan will have an RRP of $65,110, while the Cobra Ute will be priced at $61,200.
