FPV's new GT - "##" what to call it...

[Nikked]

As we all should know buy now, FPV are releasing a GT variant in September this year...

Two facts are well documented.

-Wider tyres
-Re-tuned suspension

Rumors suggest

-New bumper bar, as per the motor show "black edition" concept (the panther product name hints at this)
-More power, as hinted by FPV boss Bryan Mears, in a Performance Drive report

As for the engine, Mears said that it will feature “a version of the supercharged Miami engine”, which suggests the 335kW power rating of the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 might be tweaked somewhat for the new model.

But


What do we call this?

So, we have new model, to sit above the GT, now...what names do we have that signify this?

Obviously, the one and only.

-GT-HO

Bathurst homologation aside, the GT-HO was developed from the GT, as a higher performing variant of the GT.

Racing i here you say? Well, there is nothing stopping owners of a this sharper GT on a racetrack, and driving it how it should.

Worthy? Well, the HO Phase 3 has fame for being the fastest 4 door of its time, a time where a coupe was the car of choice, in a way, it was a pioneer for 4 door performance. Don't let a couple of faster high priced German luxury saloon's become a reason for why it should not...but why it should.

It's the return we all want, the lore and legend that is the Phase 3 wont change, but it will be drawn along with a new HO...bringing its heritage into a modern age.

-GT-H

Already trademarked by FPV, with many rumours linking it to a HO-like machine..

But GT-H? What's that mean?

GT - Huh?
GT - Hoon
GT - Hum-Bug
GT - Hairy chested, but not ballsy enough?
GT - High Output


Yeah, nah...doesn't work.


-GT R-Spec

Already used on the GT 40th edition and cobra. R-Spec hinted at a re-tuned suspension, and it does have a good ring too it. How ever, the name really never generated any real significance to it, no emotion...R-Spec is something you expect to find on Silvias or Hondas...
