Overview

The resurrected Ford GT is a track-focused hypercar that can hang with the best that Europe has to offer. When we first got a ride in the new GT, we declared that it "isn't just radical for a car wearing a Blue Oval badge, it's the razor's edge of automotive design." The new GT snagged the lap record at our annual Lightning Lap track test at Virginia International Raceway with a time of 2:43.0, although it held onto the record for only a few months. At the track, we found it to be "brutally fast, [forgoing] nearly all comforts in its quest for speed and cornering agility."

Engines, Ride, and Handling

Unlike the supercharged V-8 in the previous-generation GT, the new car is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine that is similar to the one found in the Ford F-150 Raptor. Pumping out 647 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque, the V-6 is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. In our testing, it launched the rear-wheel-drive GT to 60 mph in just 3.0 secondsand through the quarter-mile in 10.8 seconds at 134 mph. Piloting the GT is surprisingly easy, and the big car feels light and agile from behind the wheel. Despite its performance potential, the ride isn't as punishing as you might imagine; the suspension doesn't get choppy over minor bumps, but it'll still transmit harsh impacts through to the cabin.

Interior and Technology

The design of the GT is like nothing else on the road. With futuristic lighting, taut surfacing, scoops everywhere, and insane flying buttresses connecting the cabin to the rear wheel arches, it looks like a spaceship from the future. The interior is similarly arresting but for a different reason: It's extremely minimalistic and driver focused with almost every control relegated to the race-car-inspired steering wheel. Getting inside is a challenge, but once you're there, you'll notice the driver's seat doesn't adjust. Instead, Ford engineered the pedals and steering wheel to adjust to the driver's position in the fixed seat. The gauge cluster looks as if it was taken directly out of the Ford GT race car, and another digital display is inset into the suede-wrapped dashboard and controls the infotainment functions.
