Black, black and more black: It’s all about the darkest colour for FPV’s first ever concept car.

The shiny black paintwork is broken up by matt black stripes and bold 20-inch black alloy wheels. Inside, too, there’s black leather seats and additional black trim – just to balance things out…

Unlike rival HSV, though, the one-off FPV – for now, at least – isn’t called the Black Edition.

Based on the FPV Falcon GT, the concept car gets a unique front bumper expected to be used on an upcoming model.

The FLPV concept hints at the sorts of styling add-ons FPV could produce in a limited edition model. FPV is also said to be considering an aftermarket-style parts division – similar to HSV’s Walkinshaw affiliation – whereby power upgrades and other goodies would be offered to those who prefer more brutal V8 performance.

“We wanted to demonstrate the possibilities, explore the future and gauge public opinion to assist us with the evolution of FPV product,” says FPV general manager Rod Barrett about what is the brand’s first concept car.

"We’ve equipped the vehicle with the GT’s ‘most ticked’ options, such as leather trim and reversing camera.  That way, it’s a reflection of what our buyers are choosing and gives us a ‘real world’ basis to get people thinking.”

Under the bonnet, the 335kW 5.0-litre supercharged V8 is unchanged, although FPV is rumoured to be working on higher output “update kits” for the engine.

Then, of course, is the flagship model – the spiritual successor to the legendary GTHO – that’s also in the wings.
