450,000$. Some would say hey I should invest that in stocks. Some might say let’s buy a property. But there are some who would fancy some new ride. And their choices are endless. They could buy an Aston Martin Vanquish, a V12 GT Cruiser. Or Ferrari F12, a V12 super monster. Or they could buy an Aventador S, ultimate V12 super car.
But there are some would say you know what, I want a V6 Ford. Because it is not an ordinary ford. It’s a GT 40, full on carbon fiber light weight turbo charged 647 horse power road legal race car. A Lemans Monster on the road.
Body is totally made of carbon fiber. It is so light that the power to weight ratio is insanely 467 HP per ton. Rear wheels get power from 3.5 liter turbo charged v6 engine through 7 speed dual clutch gear box and accelerate the car from 0 to 60 miles in just 2.8 sec right up to the top speed of 216 MPH. 2.8 SECONDS that is enough to show how good the engine is.
Body is specially design to be as aerodynamic as the Laws of Physics allows it to be. In the track mode the car totally changed. It lowers 50 mm and rear spoiler extends. The whole scene is a bit of drama. It’s not only a show off but in a stroke the down force increases from 54 kg to 145 kg.
So all in all it is around half a million dollars mind boggling v6 racer which is road legal. And sadly I can’t think of any more positive things about this car.
First of all it is no way near as pretty as a half million$ car should be with rear exhaust looks like pig’s nostrils. It is not comfortable and interior looks rubbish and cheap. I mean most of super cars manage to avoid 1 of those 2 characters like the interior of Ferrari is rubbish and interior of initial Mclaren SLR was plasticy and cheap. But kudos to Ford to have both.
And the engine. It doesn’t sound good at all. It is just rubbish noise. No way near sounds as any of Ferrari or McLaren or Lamborghini. May be the ford should stick it to race track because there are some people with money who whenever walk by a window, they feels unavoidable desire to lick it.
Some cars make your journey worth going somewhere, some makes your arrival an event or some make you feel like you have arrived soon as you entered in the car. But there are some which make you want to happily drive in to ditch just to end the journey. 450,000$....!!!! I would rather eat the money. In coins
