Ford GT is a Beast on Stage and on the Track
by Alain Morin
In the 1960s, Ford came out with the outstanding GT40 in the hopes of beating Ferrari on its home turf at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It worked and the GT40 became an icon. Ford revived the GT in 2006, keeping it true to the original, but 10 years later they came out with a high-tech version featuring a twin-turbo V6 with 647 horsepower and 550 lbs.-ft. of torque, along with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a top speed of 348 km/h. Just 250 units are built annually and sold for more than USD$450,000 each. Hurry up and order yours!
