2017 Ford GT
Ford is showcasing the Ford
GT at Auto China 2016 (2016 Beijing Motor Show). Introduced at the 2015 North
American International Auto Show in Detroit, the Ford GT is now available to
order. The company’s flagship vehicle will be a halo car with a very limited
production.
Ford started accepting
applications for the Ford GT from interested customers on the 13th of this
month, stating that the first round of applications will be accepted only till
May 12, 2016. The GT will be one the rarest Ford models, with production being
limited to just 250 units annually for the first two years. As of April 19th,
the company has received more than 7,000 applications for its ultimate
performance car. The all-new GT will be sold in limited numbers in China as
well.
Ford won’t be offering any
sophisticated hybrid system, electric turbo boost or even KERS, just a
combustion engine engineered to provide top-notch performance. There’s no talk
of an all-wheel drive system either. The second generation 2017 Ford GT will be
powered by a 3.5-litre EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 engine. Final figures are yet to
be revealed, but Ford projects the maximum power output to exceed 600 hp.
Sending power to the rear wheels, will be a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The 2017 Ford GT is expected
to have a starting price in the mid-US$ 400,000s and go on
sale in late 2016. Eight exterior colour and seven stripe colour choices will
be available for the 2017 Ford GT.
