The Blue Oval isn’t wasting any opportunity to showcase its upcoming GT supercar, bringing it over to the Big Apple this week.
Joining the rest of the Ford’s performance lineup, which currently includes the Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS, Shelby GT350R and F-150 Raptor, the GT that will be built by Multimatic Inc in Ontario, Canada, will be the crown jewel of the series.
For its motivation, Ford developed a new 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that’s set to produce in excess of 600 horsepower, with a dual-clutch automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels, allowing for a zero to sixty sprint in under 3 seconds. Active aerodynamics will help the GT make the most of its potential.
When it finally arrives in the market, the Ford GT will reportedly be priced similar to the Lamborghini Aventador, which starts from around $400,000. Annual production will be capped to just 250 units and the final number will not exceed that of its predecessor, which was assembled in less than 4,000 examples.
