A Super Special Supercar<\/h2>\n

We knew Ford was going to release something special at Goodwood, and we knew it was going to be some kind of GT<\/a>. The company has unveiled its latest creation<\/a>. It’s the Ford GT Mk2. The car is a track-only supercar that’s a modified version of the race-spec GT.<\/strong> The Mk2 version of the car cannot be driven on the road, and it can’t be raced in any existing series.<\/p>\n

First up, the engine. Ford went over the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 and tuned it to make 700 hp.<\/strong> The company outboard-mounted air cooler with water spray technology. There’s a big hood scoop designed to bring air to auxiliary engine parts, the clutch, and transmission. The transmission is the same seven-speed, dual clutch affair, but modified for the additional power.<\/p>\n

Ford has also adjusted the exterior of the car, adding a new splitter, diffuser, dive planes, and a large rear wing. All told, the exterior enhancements manage to produce 400 percent more downforce<\/strong> than the street version of the car. This allows the car to pull 2 gs in the corners.<\/p>\n

Ford will sell these cars for $1.2 million.<\/strong> The company won’t make very many of them, though. Only 45 of the cars will be built.<\/strong> That means the fastest version of the GT will be a scarce sight. This is one special car. We’d imagine Ford won’t have any trouble selling them.<\/p>\n
