Unlike the GT, its indirect successor will be a series-production super-GT

A special announcement from John Hennessey, quote>"HPE DOES NOT PLAN TO OFFER ANY PERFORMANCE UPGRADES FOR THE NEW FORD GT AT THIS TIME. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN BUT SOME CARS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE MODIFIED. IN OUR HUMBLE OPINION, THE NEW FORD GT IS ONE OF THESE CARS."
Hennessey website.

John it's the one bloody car that DID NEED some electronic "enhancements?"

The Ford GT's acceleration is the exact reason why engine inertia is important. If this car had produced the same power and even the same torque out of a larger engine — say, a 5.0-liter V-8 — that peak torque would start very early in the range. The problem with the EcoBoost engine is that it can't handle that much power and torque without a huge turbocharger, and that's what decreases the engine inertia and makes the car unstable. There is no replacement for displacement even when it comes to supercharging and turbocharging.
The previous Ford GT had a 5.4L supercharged V-8 and that car is not only already equally as fast as this one, but it makes more than the advertised 550 hp (only underrated so that it wouldn't officially touch the established Hypercar Big 3 of the time — CGT, McF1, and Enzo).
Disclosure: Drag coefficient, frontal area, and curb weight figures are estimates of my own; not copied from manufacturers or independent tests.
2005 Ford GT
Drag coefficient: 0.338 Cd
Frontal area: 19.40 sq. ft. (x1.2 for mirrors and ground clearance)
Curb weight: 3492 lb (+165 lb for driver)
Top speed: 211.89 mph (verified @Nardo)
= 545 rwhp (rounded up)
2017 Ford GT
Drag coefficient: 0.310 Cd
Frontal area: 19.63 sq. ft. (x1.2 for mirrors and ground clearance)
Curb weight: 3313 lb (+165 lb for driver)
Top speed: 213.xx mph (verified @JBPG; rounded up to 214 mph regardless)
= 520 rwhp (rounded up)

Ford GT: is a track oriented supercar for 500k to up to a million
Also Ford GT: is outmatched by a Ferrari on most tracks for half the price ;)
Just buy an MC20 if you want a fast and actually pretty V6 supercar

So the finest manufacturers in terms production portfolio from hatchbacks to hypercars are FORD and MERCEDES-BENZ. Leave your thoughts below>

Also pulled the 60-186MPH or time off the Johnny Bohmer top speed Ford GT test. The display is a direct link to a GPS readout and the timings are off directly related YouTube counters. There could be variances.
60-186MPH= 22 seconds plus 3 seconds 0-60MPH= 0-300km/h= 25 seconds
0-200MPH worked out exactly the same way= 35 seconds
Etc.

I saw one of these in person a few months back. Absolutely stunning, one of the coolest looking and sexiest cars to come out in the past 5 years.
It’s the stance that’s cool too- this thing is insanely low, lower than any current road car I can think of. It’s also super wide, and the flying buttresses just make it look wider.

Hennessey says that there is no room for a V8 in this car. I don't think so. There is clearly enough room for Hennessey to mount, say, the Predator supercharged V8. That engine's small, and it's only 5.2 liters, but it makes 113 more horsepower 75 LB-FT more torque. Besides, I'm pretty sure you could modify the bodywork to fit it in, or push the cabin in a little more forward.

I love the Ford GT. I can't wait to see what the next iteration and evolution of the GT is capable of.
Goddamn I want a Ford GT soo bad!

this car should've been around 720-750bhp with something akin to an extreme aero pkg. i still like the car, i just dont understand why they made it so track oriented without some real downforce/aero and being the least poweful in its segment
