New Ford GT with 3.5L Ecoboost with better then 600HP and carbon fiber

[EcoPowerParts]

I did that

I wonder what 3.5 is being used and if by any slim chance some of the drive train will be interchangeable. Doubtful I bet, but my fingers are crossed. Can only imagine the price on the parts $$$$!

I'm sure it's RWD so the 3.5L in it is probably based off the longitudinal EcoBoost found in the f-150's

Looks like it's a completely new 3.5 setup.

That's a good read.  Bigger turbos was a given. But nice to see they did a lot more work than that.   I would fully consider a rapter now.  Curious if Gen 2 eco boost tech works into the SHO and mustang.

Kind of ironic that both myself, & EBPF founder 4DRHTRD both put out more power than the newly revealed 2017 Ford GT.

Obviously we both chose differing paths to obtain those achievements, but still......

The irony.

I too find it interesting to see how the advances may trickle down to, or apply to the "old" 3.5's as a whole down the road.

What I find really awesome is this is similar to the ecoboost concept with both types of injection.  Will be curious to see what type of control strategy is used on the fuel side.  Could possibly go full e 85 and water meth.  I bet 800 HP will be unlocked with a tune and meth.  Curious about there choice of turbos and inter coolers.

While I like the eye candy of the car's visual, I don't think I like the V6 engine. Some cars (american muscle) are meant to have the throaty roar of a V8. The Ford GT and Pantera have always had some of the best sounding exhaust notes of any cars.

Imagine a 4 cylinder Corvette, or V6 viper. Just doesn't do it for me. But the application in the Mustang as the every day killer and daily driver is a grand idea. And if Ford is targeting the Nissan, then throw the Fusion in mix. A 600hp 3500 lb fusion with awd Japanese stomper would be killer. And a daily driver.

Keep the Ford Super Car, a true Ford Super Car! That reinvented Coyote 5.0 engine is a great throwback of old and new technologies. Add some sauce to that.

Just my two cents

Check out the Ford GT forum, a bunch of millionaires contacting dealers, offering $40K above sticker, to get on the lists.  The cars in their sigs is just ridiculous.  LOL.  I need a new career....

[SHOnUup]

What is the sticker?

saw a video of an EB GT start up sounded great actually.

Damn.... I bet dealers are going to love selling the GT.

I guess with all the lightweight parts on the car,could see 600 bhp,then intake exhaust and a tune figure 700 horses,makes you wonder how hard those turbo's are working,be awesome if it sounds like a GTR,and hopefully no china related parts on there like some of the new trucks.
