This new Ford supercar will surprise you
Ford has unveiled its all-new GT supercar – an ultra-high-performance car that serves as a technology showcase for top EcoBoost performance, aerodynamics and lightweight carbon fiber construction. Awesome!
The GT is one of more than 12 new Ford performance vehicles coming by 2020. It joins Focus RS, F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT350R in the growing Ford performance lineup.
All factors of a vehicle’s capabilities – acceleration, handling, braking, safety, efficiency – can improve through the use of advanced, lighter materials. That’s why Ford has made extensive use of lightweight materials, including carbon fiber and aluminum – enabling outstanding acceleration and handling with improved efficiency.The new GT supercar features rear-wheel drive, a mid-mounted engine, and a sleek, aerodynamic, two-door coupe body shell. It is propelled by the most powerful EcoBoost production engine.
While it shares a legacy with classic Ford racing and performance cars, GT is a fully contemporary and functional shape that communicates modernity. The 20-inch wheels are shod with Michelin tires featuring a unique compound and structure designed specifically for the Ford GT.
The narrow-profile reduces frontal area and caps a purposeful interior that provides state-of-the-art technology to ensure control, comfort and safety. The two-seat cockpit is accessed by upward-swinging doors, and features driver and passenger seats integrated directly into the carbon fiber passenger cell. The fixed seating is combined with adjustable pedals and steering column to accommodate a very wide range of driver statures.
An F1-style steering wheel integrates all necessary driver controls, creating a stalkless steering column that allows uncluttered access to the transmission paddle-shift controls and a fully digital and configurable instrument cluster provides a wealth of driver-focused data.
Current plans for the Ford GT are for left-hand drive versions only.
