Isn't it funny that a car that was meant to flip the bird at one of the most exclusive automakers in history is now a car that is even more difficult to obtain than most Ferraris? The Ford GT is not only a car that will be produced for a limited period, but it's also incredibly difficult for prospective buyers to be approved to buy one. No, to own a GT today means proving your worth as a client. As much as Ford sells you a car, so must you sell yourself as an aficionado. Once you've successfully gained approval, you must then wait some time, since the interior of the GT is tailored to your body with fixed seats. Nevertheless, when it does arrive, you get a twin-turbocharged 3.
Despite this, Ford is yet to fully showcase the car in production trim. We did get a glimpse at a production version during the 24 Hours of Le Mans , but only its exterior. Now we have our first look at the interior. It shows Block hopping into one of the GTs during the car's testing phase. We should note that this is a prototype so there may be some changes made for production. Nevertheless, it does give fans a definitive look at the interior design. There are some differences, though.
For anyone who wants to drive a race car that's legal for road use, just gather up about a half-million dollars and somehow earn the chance to buy a Ford GT. Its breathtaking bodywork both honors the iconic GT40 race car that dominated Le Mans in the s and serves as the pinnacle of the Blue Oval's design and engineering departments. While the Ford F also has a twin-turbo 3. Surprisingly, its race-bred suspension can be adjusted to comfortable levels on regular roads. However, its cockpit is barren to avoid distractions and it's difficult to enter and exit, so don't mistake it for a daily driver.
The new Ford GT was meant to be a Mustang , you know. A Mustang with which Ford would return to Le Mans in to have a crack at winning a class, some 50 years after it won the whole thing outright with the GT At least, that was the plan. Trouble is that, like Silver was a big nag, the Mustang is a big car, so it has a large frontal area , which is bad for aerodynamics and therefore bad for going fast. What the GT appreciates is being driven properly: trailing the brakes into a corner, getting back on the power at the apex, doing what race drivers are meant to do to it Matt Prior Editor-at-large.
