"We were totally blown away by the positive feedback received from fans and show-goers on our Concept", said FPV General Manager Rod Barrett.

"We knew we had a winner with the black paintwork and we wanted to action something immediately. The public spoke and we listened and I am just thrilled we have been able to put the GT BLACK into production so quickly", he added.

"All the feedback received has been collated and the results present exciting possibilities for the FPV brand in the future. The GT BLACK is the beginning of some exciting times ahead as we continue to work on new product and design enhancements to reflect the needs and wants of the market", Mr. Barrett finished.
