The Ford GT40
So Ford did it, re-invented a legend from their glory days they
built the new GT40, but this one is no dinosaur though it's capable
of destroying the reputation of most supercars available today with
500bhp at it's disposal. To purists and enthusiast it most have
broken the golden rule - it's over 40" high but this allows
people bigger than pixies to get into it. Visually it looks only
slightly different than its ancestor yet looks totally bang up to
date look at the picture of the original at the bottom of the screen.
Not being ultra low certainly helps the car look more well proportioned
and those wheels and the modern lights and subtle changes to the
form help immensely.
I saw a road test of the supercar and it doesn't look retro - it
looks fresh, new and firmly puts ford at the top of the tree with
this ultimate muscle car. So how does it develop this amount of
power? with a supercharger and a 32 valve V8 engine - the downside
is a pitiful 4mpg!.
Sadly there are only a small quantity of these beasts coming to
the UK ( one of them owned by Jeremy Clarkson lucky sod ) and most
will end up hidden from the public in private collections.
Feel proud to own a Performance Ford as it's bloodline runs back
to the original GT40.

I love the GT40 but will never get a chance to drive this car ...
it's the original dream car and thats part of its appeal, I am glad
cars like this are still being made, and the project series one
can trace it's lineage back to the original classic back in the
60's. Keep em coming ford, what's next the new RS200?
