[A legendary car revived with cutting-edge technology]
The Ford GT is a legendary prototype racing car that won four consecutive Le Mans 24 Hours races from 1966 to 1969. Also known as GT40 due to its low vehicle height of 40 inches (1016 mm), the glorious naming that is essential when talking about Ford cars has been revived in 2015. The new Ford GT, which was born as a super sports car that brought together Ford's technological capabilities and was developed with the premise of racing participation, has a carbon monocoque main frame and a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo EcoBoost engine with a maximum output of 647 horsepower. The engine is mounted midship and uses a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. Coupled with the aerodynamic carbon body, it boasts a top speed of 347km/h. Furthermore, in 2016, which marks the 50th anniversary of the Le Mans victory, a machine modified for racing entered Le Mans and won its class.
