They didn't 'try' very hard which was the main reason the F6X never really took off.

The Focus RS is a sporty little number why would FPV not see the possible sales from a Hot Hatch if they were to breath some life into one?
FPV Fiesta?

I just used the XR5 to show my point, i can probably understand the Falcon as its a much smaller market though.
Mountune have actually been trying for ages but Ford AU just don't want to do it. I know this from an email between me and Mountune.

Default Re: Ford Factory Approved/Warranted Upgrades
Can anybody enlighten me/us as to how Ford Racing in the states goes with warranty? I am assuming it is all covered but I guess the difference there is that it is still Ford doing the 'add ons' and just calling it FRPP.

If the above is right then that would explain why they dont have it here - the AU vehicle range is just not big enough to justify it I would say.

Well I suppose if it's done by the dealer then it would all be probably warranted.
