That is an easy statement to make, at least you would think so. It is not that easy because Ford has produced some fast cars, some really fast cars. The GT has been around for a long time and every time it was very fast. This new GT is the first one without the traditional V8, so we had to wait and see what Ford was going to get out of a V6. The waiting is over, and the official data is finally here!
How fast is the fastest production Ford ever? It has a top speed of 216 mph. That is really fast and it is now competing with cars like the Lamborghini Aventador and Ferrari F12berlinetta, with only half the number of cylinders. The EcoBoost V6 produces 647 horsepower and 550 lb.-ft. of torque. The active dynamics systems, for both suspension and aerodynamics, are contributing to fast lap times. And in a recent test it beat both the McLaren 675LT and Ferrari 458 Speciale at the Calabogie Motorsports Park in Canada. This 3.1 miles, fairly unknown, track is a test ground for Ford, and for now some holy ground for Ford!
