Delivering the highest output of any EcoBoost production engine to date, the new Ford GT couples its extraordinary power with impressive aerodynamic efficiency and advanced active dynamics to achieve a maximum speed of 348km/h, making it the fastest ever Ford production vehicle on the track. Capable of an exceptional top speed, Ford's new supercar is designed and optimised for track performance to honour its racing heritage.

In 2016 development testing, with all contenders track-prepped with new fluids, fresh tyres and optimal suspension settings, in identical conditions and with the same driver behind the wheel, the Ford GT outperformed both the McLaren 675LT and Ferrari 458 Speciale at Calabogie Motorsports Park in Canada. The GT had a time of 2:09.8 while the 675LT and the 458 Speciale clocked in at 2:10.88 and 2:12.9 respectively.

Society of Automotive Engineers-rated at 647bhp and 746Nm of torque in U.S.A specification, Ford's new high output 3.5-litre V6 engine produces the highest horsepower of any EcoBoost production engine ever, making the Ford GT the fastest production car ever to wear the Blue Oval badge. The engine's wide powerband produces 90 percent of its peak torque from 3,500rpm.
