Ford’s on 2021

Forget that the price of the 2021 Ford GT makes it nearly impossible to get hold of and appreciate its exciting design and incredible performance. And it doesn’t matter that it’s a Ford product that costs at least half a million dollars. This car has a racing history – it won its class at the 2016 24 Hours of LeMans –

Which indicates that it belongs to the side of the most desirable Ford GT supercar in the world. The GT’s twin-turbo V-6 is certainly less exotic than the 8, 10, 12 and 16-cylinder engines that power some of its competitors,

But the powerful EcoBoost engine under its rear deck makes 660 horsepower and loads of torque. The rear wheels are fed through a lightning-fast dual-clutch automatic transmission, and this combination provides near-terrifying acceleration. While the 2021 GT is best experienced on the racetrack where it can showcase its impressive capabilities, it’s also as easy to drive in everyday grind conditions as the Ford Mustang. Of course, the supercar will get a lot more attention than the pony car. Ford GT

The 2021 GT only receives aesthetic updates, which include a new graphics package in customizable colors , according to a tweet from Ford. While it’s possible the company will make further updates to the latest model year, it has specified that the GT will still make 660 horsepower. Ford GT

Ford hasn’t released official pricing for the 2021 GT, but we expect the supercar to continue to start at $500,000. While that means most of us will never be able to own this exotic Ford, it can still be fun dreaming about and fiddling with the component on the consumer site. We love the Frozen White exterior color paired with the Lightning Blue stripes that run over the top of the car.

We also opted for a glossy carbon fiber lower finish and 20-inch wheels for an extra dose of oomph. A set of blue brake calipers complete the look. Inside, we’re drawn to the Light Speed interior, which covers the cabin in a mix of black leather and delicately polished surfaces.

Ford GT Engine, Transmission and Performance

Unlike the supercharged V-8 in the previous generation GT, the new car is equipped with a 3.5-liter twin-suction V-6 engine similar to the one found in the Ford F-150 Raptor. Pumping out 660 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque, the V-6 is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. While the last version we tested had fewer horses,

Yet it still scores well-deserved acceleration times. The GT car driving experience is surprisingly easy, and the big car feels light and nimble from behind the wheel. Despite the performance potential, the ride isn’t as punitive as you might imagine; The suspension rides a pretty short distance from small bumps, but still delivers some rough bumps into the cabin.

Ford Jetty fuel economy

Conserving fossil fuels is the lowest priority when it comes to supercars. However, the Ford GT is one of the most efficient examples. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the 2021 model will gain 12 mpg city and 18 highway mpg.

Compare that with gas consumers like the Bugatti Chiron (9/15 mpg/highway) and the Lamborghini Aventador (9/14 mpg city/highway).

Then again, Ford has six fewer cylinders than a Lambo and 10 fewer cylinders than a Bugatti. Since we haven’t tested any of these high-dollar machines on the 75-mph highway fuel economy route, which isn’t part of our comprehensive testing system, we can’t rate real-world mpg.

Interior, comfort and cargo

The interior is similarly inviting but for a different reason: It’s very minimalistic and driver-focused, with nearly every control coming down to the racing-inspired steering wheel. Getting inside is a challenge, but once you arrive, you’ll notice that the driver’s seat is not adjusted. Instead of that ,

Ford designed the pedals and steering wheel to adapt to the driver’s position in the firm seat. The dashboard looks like it’s taken straight from a Ford GT race car, and another digital screen is built into the suede-clad dashboard and controls infotainment functions.

Information, entertainment and communication

With a priority focus on driving, the GT doesn’t offer the range of infotainment and connectivity features that most modern cars offer. However, it has a 6.5-inch touchscreen that supports Ford’s Sync 3. It also responds to voice commands and has built-in navigation for those who want to take a road trip with this $500,000 machine.

Safety and driver assistance features

The Ford GT is a low-volume, high-performance model, so it hasn’t been tested by any of the agencies conducting these assessments. Likewise, it lacks any driver assistance technology traditionally infused into most modern consumer cars.

Warranty and maintenance coverage

Despite its exclusivity and hefty price tag, the GT has a familiar warranty. However, Ford does not set a maximum mileage limit on its limited and powertrain coverage during three-year periods.
