福特在本届北美车展发布了搭载全新EcoBoost双涡轮增压引擎的GT,功率超过600马力。不过，这款车只是概念版车型，真正的量产版要等到明年才会发布。 该车虽然在外观设计上缺乏吸引力，但经过空气动力学优化，可有效降低风阻并产生更多下压力。这款双座车采用向上开启的车门，碳纤维客舱，车尾才有主动扰流器，可根据路况自动调节高度。福特工程师为该车安装了铝制前后副车架和碳纤维车身面板，这种轻量化结构使得该车的功率重量比达到同级车最佳水平。谈到功率，这款车搭载了新的中置V6 EcoBoost双涡轮增压引擎，最大功率超过447千瓦/600马力，搭配七速双离合器变速器，可以瞬间实现换挡。后轮配备20英寸轮圈和专门设计的米其林Pilot Super Sport Cup 2轮胎。车厢内配版F1风格方向盘，全数字仪表群和福特SYNC 3信息娱乐系统。预计福特GT量产版将于明年底投产。

 

Ford GT breaks cover with 600+ bhp twin-turbo V6

The Ford GT has been unveiled with a new twin-turbo EcoBoost engine delivering more than 600 bhp.

 

Perhaps one of the most important cars to grace Detroit these days, the Ford GT is more than just for show as a production version will be introduced in 2016. It features a design reminiscent of the original model but brought up to current standards suitable for what Ford is describing as an "ultra-high-performance supercar."

 

The design is not only appealing but also aerodynamically optimized to reduce drag and generate more downforce. The two-seater has upward-swinging doors granting access to the carbon fiber passenger cell while at the back there's an active spoiler automatically adjustable depending on road conditions. Ford's engineers have installed aluminum front & rear subframes covered by carbon fiber body panels and all these lightweight measures will allow the new GT to "exhibit one of the best power-to-weigh ratios of any production car."

 

Speaking of power, the supercar has a new mid-mounted twin-turbo V6 EcoBoost engine developing more than 600 bhp (447 kW) to the rear 20-inch wheels wrapped around in specifically designed Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires through a dual-clutch seven-speed transaxle transmission capable of providing "near-instantaneous gear changes."

 

Step inside the simple yet functional cabin and you will notice an F1-inspired steering wheel, a fully digital & configurable instrument cluster along with Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system.

 

The all-new Ford GT is programmed to enter production towards the end of next year.
