2016 to 2020 Ford GT
The Ford GT is already on list, but the 2004 to 2006 models are totally different beasts than the current GT, which debuted in 2016. For start, these two cars only share the name and nothing else. While the previous generation was a superfast road car, the current model is a racing car for the streets full of competition parts, tricks and active aerodynamics. Ford wanted a car that would win the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time since 1969.
So they designed the new GT as a racing car. It competed in the 2016 Le Mans and won its class, exactly 50 years after the first legendary GT40 win. The engine of the new GT is a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 656 HP. It gives this car 0 to 60 mph times of 2.8 seconds and top speeds of 216 mph.
In fact, the GT engine almost the same as the 3.5 EcoBoost V6 from an F-150 pickup truck. Although it has some different details, the basic architecture, block, displacement and turbo technology are the same. They have limited the production to 250 cars per year, but Ford’s goal is to produce 1,000 examples by 2020.
