Ford has stunned the North American International Auto Show by unveiling the all-new GT, an high-performance supercar employing a twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6.
The new Ford GT features rear-wheel drive, a mid-mounted engine, and an aerodynamic two-door coupe shell. It's powered by the most powerful EcoBoost production engine ever: a next-generation twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 petrol mill.
Beginning production late in 2016, the new GT pay homage to the original and is scheduled to hit the road in "select global markets" to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ford GT race cars placing first, second and third at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans.
"As we at Ford drive innovation into every part of our business, it's worth remembering that our first innovation as a company was not in a laboratory, but on the racetrack," said Mark Fields, Ford president and chief executive officer, referring to Henry Ford's win of a 1901 car race that inspired financial backers to invest in his company. "We are passionate about innovation through performance and creating vehicles that make people's hearts pound."
The GT is one of more than 12 new Ford Performance vehicles that the company says is coming by 2020. It joins the Focus RS, F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT350R in the growing Ford Performance lineup.
The Ford GT makes extensive use of lightweight materials, including carbon-fibre and aluminium.
"The GT is the ultimate execution of an enthusiast supercar," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development.
The US automaker says that aerodynamic efficiency "is at the heart of the GT design", actively reducing drag while aiding downforce and stability.
It boasts a tear-drop shape, "aircraft-inspired" fuselage and a "visibility enhancing" curved windshield. There's also an active rear spoiler that is keyed to both speed and driver input, reactively deploying and adjusting its height and/or pitch angle depending on conditions.
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. A fully digital and configurable instrument cluster provides a wealth of driver-focused data.
"While we hope enthusiasts rejoice about this all-new GT, all Ford customers will benefit from the ultimate performance Ford and its new-generation innovations," said Nair.
BTW: selected market only, which mean no RHD model. WTF |
