I highly doubt it will wear any FPV badging. FPV are very unlikely to put badges on anything unless they have done significant work to it. It would be sort of like taking credit for somebody else's work.
Left for dead is a big call. You need to consider things like torque spread, weight, what sort of gearbox it'll have, what sort of diffs, how well will it corner etc. Then there's aftermarket tuning capabilities. I know in America just in the last week, a company has released an edit for the EVO X, on stock exhaust/manifold/turbo, everything, just using 98 ron and the edit they're making an extra 70hpatw and 100Nm torque. Change the exhaust to a 3" adds another 25hpatw. So for about $1800 ($1000 for the edit and $800 or so for an exhaust) you are getting 95hpatw and 100Nm. Pretty decent. Can the Ford match this?
