The Ford GT Sounds Like A Damn Jet Fighter At Full Chat

Ford has released a short flyby video of its GT supercar undergoing testing, and - perhaps down to its unique aerodynamic features - it sounds like some sort of jet-powered monster

Perhaps the coolest thing about the new Ford GT is its aero package. Flying buttresses help shove loads of air to the active rear wing, which - like on the McLaren 675 LT - can also act as an airbrake.

Something you can’t see meanwhile is an active flap which controls airflow to the rear diffuser. There’s even donut shaped tail lights, providing an exit point for cooling air which is shoved through the intercoolers via vents in the front. The last one is less about aero, but hey, it’s an awesome little detail.

Very few GTs will be built, but the car’s intended production run was recently extended.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
