FPV Hurricane

[cdm]

I remember reading somewhere that Ford have registered the name Hurricane and there was speculation as to whether this would be the name of an FPV Territory. Judging by the good write up the Territory has been getting I would certainly look forward to seeing an FPV version.

I have obviously yet to drive a Territory but I wonder how dynamically different it is to a normal Falcon. Would it handle more like a Suburu Forester or a Liberty? If FPV did a Turbo Territory I wonder if it would be 280kw (ala F6) or 240kw (ala T6). If FPV could do a reasonable job of the handling and few minor cosmetic changes then the Hurricane would be a damn good car.

Maybe I'm dreaming but imagine this... A more agressive looking, better handling (lower, bigger wheels) FPV Hurricane with something similar to a phase 3 kit! How would that float your boat? Albeit a 2.1 tonne Ford boat... 375kw, AWD and wagon practicallity....sounds like an Aussie RS6 to me....

My bet is it will be 200-210kw ala the forester Gt (125kw) to protect the driveline.

It would be good to see a turbo inline 6 4x4

While we're dreaming, it would be nice if it had the Jag 6 speed and/or (preferably) a nice new 6 speed manual...

The higher centre of gravity I can see being a challenge to cornering at Warp Speed 5.

Geoff Polites as much as said the 270kw FPV Turbo Territory would happen next year before when he spoke to the car club down in Melbourne for the FPV weekend back in February.

But as much as Hurricane sounds like a fantastic name, it's been registered for a limited edition Courier 4x4 ute that was on display at the Brisbane Motor Show (and may be on sale or be sold out already).

Hurricane is to be used for a LE Courier.

Yeah, I know, WTF?

What a waste of a good name.

I agree

Ford seem to have a number of Territory designators registered besides TX, TS & Ghia, but I don't think any of them are for an FPV product, rather just for future variants or special editions or just red herrings.

they are;

Territory TR

Territory MTX

Territory R5

Territory R3

that's according to a search of the Australian government trademark site anyway...

Oh, how nice that would be.

A full house Territory that's been tricked up by FPV really appeals with 3 young kids. lf we could get our bums into one of those for around 70 grand l would give it some serious consideration.

Guys Ford aus also registered the name:

Territory MTX

dunno this could be anything but the name was registered at the same time as the territory was.
