Ford today unveiled the all-new GT, an ultra-high-performance supercar featuring rear-wheel drive, a mid-mounted engine, and a sleek, aerodynamic, two-door coupe body shell. It is propelled by the most powerful EcoBoost production engine ever, a next-generation twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 producing more than 600 hp.
Ford is not revealing specific output numbers at this time. The twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 will be paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The GT features an all-new, port/direct dual fuel-injection setup to improve engine response, plus a low-friction roller-finger-follower valvetrain.

The Ford GT makes extensive use of lightweight materials, including a carbon fiber passenger cell. It also features aluminum front and rear subframes encapsulated in structural carbon fiber body panels. An active rear spoiler is keyed to both speed and driver input, reactively deploying and adjusting its height and/or pitch angle depending on conditions.
The 20-inch wheels are shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires featuring a unique compound and structure designed specifically for the Ford GT. Multi-spoke wheels encircle carbon-ceramic brake discs at all four corners.
Beginning production late next year, the GT hits the road in select global markets to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ford GT race cars placing 1-2-3 at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans.
