With production already commenced in late 2016, the Ford GT will be introduced to select global markets, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the legendary original Ford GT race cars which famously placed first, second and third at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans.The all-new ultra-high-performance supercar GT serves as a technology showcase for top EcoBoost® performance, aerodynamics and lightweight carbon fibre construction. In the US it joins an already impressive Ford Performance line-up including the Focus RS, F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT350R. The GT is also one of more than 12 new Ford Performance vehicles coming by 2020. “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.”

Carbon Fibre Innovation

Most Powerful Production EcoBoost Engine Ever
EcoBoost engines power a growing number of Ford performance models, including the new Mustang, just-announced F-150 Raptor, as well as Fiesta ST and Focus ST. Based on the same race-proven engine architecture serving Ford’s IMSA Daytona Prototype endurance racing efforts, the next-generation twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the GT features a wide powerband with impressive time-to-torque characteristics. The engine demonstrates remarkable efficiency – a key attribute of its endurance racing-derived powertrain, where exceptional performance combined with efficiency is a critical competitive advantage. The Ford GT features an all-new, port/direct dual fuel-injection setup to improve engine response, plus a low-friction roller-finger-follower valvetrain. The twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 will be paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and transaxle arrangement for near-instantaneous gear changes and exceptional driver control.Aero Innovation Gets Active
