Ford GT


 

Second car from my trip to the Vigeant race track, a Ford GT. The GT is a modern re-edition of the 1960's Le Mans classic GT40. It has a 5.4 Supercharged V8 engine which produces 550bhp. 0-62 takes 3.6 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to 212mph or 341km/h!!!
Just over 4,000 GTs were produced between 2004 and 2006. Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson had bought a blue one for which he asked his money back (not so much because he didn't like the car itself but because Ford was unable to fix alarm and other electrical faults!)
