2010 FPV GT supercharged V8 ‘Coyote’ spied!

2010 FPV GT supercharged V8 ‘Coyote’ spied!

A deafening whine made the ears of our spy photographer prick up, that deafening whine was the sound of a supercharged V8 Falcon.


Before the car scurried off into the distance, our photographer was able to snap some shots of what could possibly be Ford’s latest attempt at slaying Holden’s HSV offerings.
With over 60 per cent of FPV sales leaning toward the V8 engine, FPV has been desperately in need of an engine capable of taking on the ever expanding offerings from HSV.


Up until now, Ford haven’t attempted to do anything too serious to the current 5.4-litre ‘BOSS’ V8. The reason behind the delay is the impending Euro4 emissions cut-over, due on July 1 next year. The current BOSS V8 will not meet the Euro4 standards, meaning there is little point doing any further work on it.

thats very interesting!...funny tho that they go for a supercharged v8..wonder if holden will go for it aswell from stock?

[eaton v8]

is this the answer to the supercharged clubby???? i wonder what the power figgures are.

[VZHSV]

these new FG FPV's look great! kick ass cars
supercharger will be even better

[minux]

I am dying to see this new engine in the car, from all reports of the new compliant V8, it is going to be a killer. Was discussing some of the power figures with a friend who works in the engine department, word is the XR8 will come out with a moderately tuned 310kw while the fpv could be as high as 350kw. What he refused to tell me is if they are going back to a single OHC or using one of the new blocks and assembling a Double OHC on site here. Certainly looking very interesting for Ford next year, regardless, smaller engine, great power output, has to be a win.

It may interest to know that the supercharger has been in testing since the BF series 1 on the current 5.4L engine.
So theres a fairly good chance it will be an option on at least the FPV model.

And alloy block so less weight over the front wheels for better handling

maybe holden/hsv will release that supercharged ls2 that the brits are seeing.
i think it's in a v8 clubby r8, puts out 397kw.

You mean that wasn't good enough? "It's a clubby on Steroids". Ford are answering to that? Now what's Holden going to do?

[alien]

I didn't know TopGear Aus did a episode on it (i stopped watching after the first episode)! Well, i found out the part you need: YouTube - NEW Top Gear Aus: Ep2-Walkinshaw R8

EDIT: And here's the videos with Stig's runs of a standard clubby, the walkinshaw on both 22" low profiles and 20" clubby wheels: YouTube - Top Gear Australia - VE Clubsport R8 & R8 WP Stig's Laptimes

Knowing holden bring out another oversized CI engine? Fords new engine looks to be a 5 litre producing as much power and torque as the 6.2? Litre LS3. Ford are using their brains and producing smaller engines with as much power output, GM are still behind the times making bigger and bigger engines which just means more and more fuel.

its great they are using motors and engineering for more power per cc, they only downside is they will always sound like a v6 on steroids, those ford v8's just dont have that v8 sound


to keep people happy, ill claify, what i said above relates to the quad cam v8's ie boss 5.4L

[TVR-190]

i think the old 5l's sound better than the current ls engines.

Funny that.
I seem to remember a Holden (or was it HSV??) tv commercial a few years ago with an awesome sounding V8..........
That awesome sound actually came from an AU TS50, not the Holden (or HSV?) the ad would like you to think it came from.

B.S you might say - head on over to Australian Ford Forums - powered by vBulletin and ask LAMINGE all about it - it was his AU TS50 they recorded the sound from.

So, yeah, Fords will always sound like a V6 on steriods wont they

good to see more factual postings instead of one eyed bias B.S.

Cool story bro. Though if you read peoples posts they are saying that the current generations of engines sound like V6s... the AU TS50's had the Windsor 5L / 5.6L V8's which I and many will agree did not sound like a V6. Newer Fords have the BOSS 5.4L and Holden using LS series which sound like a V6

i should clarify, the quad cam boss motors, my bad


i do know the ford forums quite well, talk about one eyed B.S

lol, from personal experience owning both engines, an exhaust only boss 5.4 sound 10X better than an exhaust on LS1.

must be bad exhausts on the ones in town then, i cant say they dont sound meaty but just have that v6 sound about them - well the ones ive heard, i guess it comes down to what you want to spend, i know mine dosnt sound great with having the ls1 twin on mine, but being free the price was right

[VZHSV]

my brother inlaws bf gt sounds pretty meaty with a new twin exhaust
def better sound then an ls1 with zorst as said

[f1tzy]

I have a boss 5.4 and my mate has an ls1 not sure what zorst he has but i have pacies to high flow cats 2.5in twin system to hotdogs to some sort of muffler and we both agree that mine sounds alot better
