Paying homage to the original GT MK II that won the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT Mk2<\/a> is a track-only supercar that\u2019s a modified version of the race-spec GT. The Mk2 version of the car cannot be driven on the road, and it can\u2019t be raced in any existing series. Only 45 examples were made with each of them selling for $1.2 million.<\/p>\n

First up, the engine. Ford went over\u00a0the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 and tuned it to make 700 hp.\u00a0The company outboard-mounted air cooler with water spray technology. There\u2019s 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

 <\/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\u00a0400 percent more downforce\u00a0than the street version of the car. This allows the car to pull 2 gs in the corners.<\/p>\n
