2005 Ford GT
2005 Ford GT
Attempting to out-do Chevrolet's Corvette and Dodge's Viper for domestic sports-car bragging rights is the new-for-2005 Ford GT. This is a truly low-slung limited production, high-performance coupe that's able to run with the best of the world's exotics, provided you're one of the few fortunate individuals who are able to obtain one. Manufactured in conjunction with noted performance tuners Saleen and Roush Industries, the car is a rollinghomage to the GT40 racecars that dominated competition at Le Mans during the mid-1960s. Modern underpinnings include plastic-formed aluminum body panels, roll-bonded floor panels, a friction-stir welded center tunnel, a capless fuel filler system, one-piece door panels and an aluminum engine cover with a one-piece carbon-fiber inner panel. Its mid-mounted 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 engine leads the pack with 550 horsepower and is said to reach a top speed of over 180 mph. A Ricardo six-speed manual transmission comes with a helical limited-slip differential. Precision-cast aluminum suspension components with 18-inch wheels and tires up front and 19-inch rims and rubber at the rear are said to contribute to the GT's racer-like cornering abilities.
