Motor Trend 2017 Ford GT Review – Video

Ford’s Ferrari-fighting hypercar is a wild-styled track star worthy of its name. A twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 employs a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic to route its 647 hp to the ground. An adjustable suspension, carbon-fiber construction, and active-aero elements add to the GT’s awesome performance. Big tires provide tremendous amounts of grip, and while the suspension is tuned for sport, it’s also surprisingly refined. Only 1000 will be built and each will cost more than $450,000.

Motor Trend drives Ford’s spectacular new 216-mph GT. With a 647hp turbocharged V-6 engine, carbon-fiber bodywork, and active aerodynamics, the new GT brings state-of-the-art race car technology to the road. Angus MacKenzie finds out if it really is the spiritual successor to the legendary Le Mans–winning GT40.
