I never expected Ford Motor Company to care much about supercars — it’s not their typical interest. But at last night’s 2015 Detroit Auto Show, Ford unveiled the Ford GT supercar, and it is absolutely stunning. Best of all, it’s not a concept car, but an actual car that will hit production.
The Ford GT has a mid-mounted engine, RWD, and a sleek, sexy aerodynamic coupe body. It will be packing an EcoBoost V-6 engine with twin-turbochargers that will help push over 600 horsepower. In fact, the engine is derivative of the Daytona prototype that the company showed off last year in the United SportsCar Championship. According to Motor Authority, The engine has updated direct-injection and valvetrain features that will boost performance and efficiency.
The chasis is, of course, made up of lightweight materials, such as carbon fiber and aluminum, giving the car an impressive power-to-weight ratio. It also has a badass deployable rear spoiler — sometimes you need a spoiler, sometimes you don’t!
The interior of the car is as sleek as its exterior, which you can get into via its doors that swing upwards. The seat is fixed, and the pedals and steering column are adjustable, so that even shorties like myself can get behind the wheel without any issues. We don’t have any of the Ford GT’s performance numbers just yet, as Ford says there is still plenty of work to be done still. But, I’m pretty sure it will go 0-60 in the blink of an eye.
