The Ford GT, referred to by ‘Top Gear’ as the GT 40 of the 21st Century. It is a sleek, elegant, supercharged marvel. This Supercar can spit out 550 horsepower from its mid-mounted supercharged 5.4L V8 engine. It can also produce 500 foot-pounds of force. It weighs 1.5 tonnes and has a 6 speed manual transmission.
In 1995, at the Detroit Auto Show, the Ford GT90 idea was presented and in 2002, at the same show, the new GT40 concept was unveiled. The new Ford GT was similar in the external appearance, only slightly bigger and wider and 3 inches taller. As a result of which, a potential name was the GT43. Although the 2 cars are similar visually, structually they are completely different.
