A V6 3.5 liter twin-turbo-charged..hmmm, but 600HP ..all right!
The 2017 Ford GT Supercar features a mid-mounted engine that sends all of its prodigious power to the rear wheels with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for lightning-fast shifts. That engine we speak of is a 3.5 liter twin-turbo-charged V6; yes, this car only has half a dozen cylinders under the hood! The GT has a body made of carbon fiber, what else! Ford paints this badboy in eight different colors, all of them looking superb.
Top speed? Over 200 mph they said...
The engine
Based on the same race-proven engine architecture serving Ford’s IMSA Daytona Prototype
endurance racing efforts, the next-generation twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the GT
features a wide powerband with impressive time-to-torque characteristics.
The engine demonstrates remarkable efficiency – a key attribute of its endurance racing-derived
powertrain, where exceptional performance combined with efficiency is a critical competitive
advantage.
Active aerodynamics
Ford’s commitment to and capability in delivering technologies typically offered only in elite
vehicles is evident in the GT. These include advanced active aerodynamics, such as a deployable
rear spoiler, and a host of material and technology innovations to help better serve the driver, such
as SYNC®3 – the latest version of Ford’s advanced connectivity system.
“The GT is the ultimate execution of an enthusiast supercar,” said Raj Nair, Ford group vice
president, Global Product Development. “GT includes innovations and technologies that can be
applied broadly across Ford’s future product portfolio – another proof point that Ford continues
raising the performance bar while ultimately improving vehicles for all of our customers.”
Interior ... typical racing minimalism
Ford GT Heritage Edition
The 2017 Ford GT Heritage Edition is an homage to the Le Mans winning 1966 Ford GT40 Mark II driven by racing legend Bruce McLaren. The special model comes equipped with unique interior features that are designed to somewhat bring back the feel of the original GT40
