FPV F6 - Motor Magazine Controversy

Motor Magazine Controversy

In 2005, the BAII F6 Typhoon was disqualified from Motor magazine's annual Performance Car of the Year competition due to a series of clutch failures. After initially blaming the magazine's testers, FPV labelled the car as "simply too powerful" and withdrew the car from sale for several months while they engineered a fix. All of the cars released with the clutch issues were recalled.

The F6 Typhoon returned to win Motor magazine's Australian Performance Car Of The Year award in 2006.
