Ford Australia will put the GT Black Concept that it showcased at the Melbourne Motor Show into limited production, after the positive response the showcar garnered.

To be called the FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles) GT Black, the menacing looking sedan will be limited to just 125 units, and will retail for AU$74,290. Which is still cheaper than a lot of lesser cars over here.

I was lucky enough to have seen the concept in the flesh in Melbourne, and I can attest to its popularity. The Aussies were simply loving the car as they crowded around the Ford stand.

It's a brooding, menacing, muscle car, with its matte black paintwork and aggressive styling details. And just look at that bonnet bulge! It hides a 5.0-litre supercharged Boss V8 with 449bhp and 570Nm of torque.

Those lucky Aussies.

Enjoy the pics. Because this might be the closest you could get to this beast.
