According to a report on SEMA.org this FPV Falcon prototype has been spotted in Michigan undergoing testing by Ford USA engineers. But the really interesting news is that the photographer was confident he spied an intercooler mounted in the lower grille opening.

The mule in the images appears to be based on an FPV GT-E with the Falcon V8's trademark bonnet bulge and twin tailpipes at the rear, as well as FPV bumpers and side skirts.

These images emerge the same day the Carsales Network encountered a Falcon ute sporting what appeared to be an intercooler at the Anglesea proving grounds south west of Melbourne.

Although FPV didn't want to comment when contacted by the Carsales Network it appears all but confirmed that FPV will be offering a forced-induction version of the new 5.0-litre 'Coyote' V8 when the current 5.4 Boss unit is phased out later this year.

There have previously been suggestions that Ford USA is working on a twin-turbo version of the Coyote, but the most likely option for FPV is a supercharged unit. Such an engine is tipped to power the re-born GT-HO next year.
