Detroit, MI — I will admit: I was a little disappointed to find out that the fantastic new Ford supercar you see here was to be powered by yet another iteration of Ford\u2019s EcoBoost tubo technology. I mean, really; this is a car made to recall\u2014by Ford\u2019s own admission\u2014the legendary 1-2-3 finish for Ford at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"All-NewFordGT_01_HR\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The feat was accomplished by Ford\u2019s GT40 Mk II racer, a car developed with a main goal in mind: to beat Enzo\u2019s fire-breathing, V12-powered Ferraris with good ol\u2019 fashioned, American V8 power that got its start in that good ol\u2019 fashioned American racing circuit, NASCAR.<\/p>\n

Times have changed, however, and even supercars today have to be built with a modicum of efficiency in mind, meaning a 7-litre V8 just wasn\u2019t going to cut it. Even racing leagues are putting stricter restrictions on engines, and since this latest Ford GT has been developed with racing in mind, ford had to acquiesce; indeed, the circuit where this car is likely to be entered, the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, has seen this engine before.<\/p>\n

Have a look at the figures: over 600 horsepower, likely similar amounts of torque, 7-speeds and\u2014if Ford is serious about competing with the big boys in performance car engineering once again\u2014a sub-4 second 0-60 m.p.h. time.<\/p>\n

Aluminum makes up both the front and rear subframes of the chassis (aluminum being the order of the day over at Ford), with a carbon-fibre passenger cell and body panels. Each panel, curve and slash is functional and placed with aerodynamics in mind; there are even active aero components\u00a0on-hand to help stability during braking and handling. You can adjust the suspension\u2019s ride height, too and the pushrods are very race-car like features.<\/p>\n

Inside, a configurable digital gauge cluster\u2014just like what a race car might have\u2014F1-style steering wheel (wait; shouldn\u2019t that be a \u201cGT-style\u201d steering\u00a0 wheel?) and deep, sharply-reclined racing seats all point to a serious performance tool.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to drive it.<\/p>\n
