a two-seat rear-wheel drive Grand Tour
this is the great-great-great-great
grandson of that original 166 interval
the man those Ferrari engineers cannot
stop tweaking take this engine where the
old car made about a hundred horsepower
this makes eight hundred eight hundred
horsepower that's not in fairness this
car is pretty super fast zero to 60 in
2.8 seconds has a top speed of 211 miles
per hour this six and a half liter v12
is a masterpiece no other word for it
it's the most powerful naturally
aspirated engine ever found in a road
car no turbos
electric motors just cylinders and
pistons returning petrol into speed and
[Music]
keep your eyes on the road but this it
this car is about as relaxing as a full
body wax all that tweaking all those
upgrades they've ended up with a road
car that's just too fast to use on the
road but who says we have to stick to
the road because just over that hill
is a lovely little circuit called
[Applause]
out of the corner a straight berry and
right foot in the middle of the next
corner
Oh
holder boom
it is amazing this thing
[Music]
this is the new Ford GT
yes it's American yes it's a car and yes
it's super and for starters it looks
great in fact I think it's the
best-looking American car this century
hell it might just be the best-looking
car this century
[Music]
enormous afford have done some clever
stuff with software and fuel injection
which they say eliminates turbo lag to
keep the turbo spool down even when my
foot is off the throttle
there's always power always and there's
plenty of grip to keep the back stuck to
the track and it's got actions flaps
under the nose to get the nose stuck to
the track
stick all that together and this thing
is sticking okay here we come into the
corkscrew it if you were to do that
through the corkscrew at that speed in
any other Ford ever you would be out
there in the weeds and that's the thing
about this new GT it's not like any
other for emperor hydraulic steering no
fancy electric it's old-school it's got
a great feel
a lot of software to help you do meters
skids
but there's none of that here this one
you're on your own
all on your own
oh my god the balance is helping
America can't do supercars from where
I'm sitting so come on what's not to
like
[Music]
inside your body
90 to nothing
power
naught to 60 takes just over two seconds
but this car lives way beyond that
like the laferrari the fxxk has a curse
system harvesting energy wasted under
braking
[Music]
but here the system is f1 spec and when
it uses that energy to boost the
performance of the 6.3 liter v12 engine
[Music]
and then there's the traction control
because Ferrari doesn't want to kill its
wealthiest customers they're some of the
most sophisticated systems I've ever
encountered the thrill of this car is
building up the courage well you only
live once
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
oh I don't know what it's so upset about
but it seems really really bad
this thing is alive hearts is brimming
with energy
underneath that bonnet is the four litre
twin-turbocharged v8
I've got 580 horsepower I've been more
than 500 pound feet of torque and in the
exhaust
it's a trigger-happy firing squad bang
it goes another one and all that noise
comes with plenty of speed
0-60 and three and a half seconds but
the GTR feels faster
there's so much grip that's because
underneath that Marvel Comics paint job
there's a lightweight titanium exhaust a
race tuned suspension a whole new track
focused aero package and my favorite bit
rear wheel steers
see it see it move cool right and that
makes the GTR super agile in the slow
corners but super stable in the highest
speed corners and the suspension keeps
the car so flat you can really tell what
the tires are up to and know exactly how
hard you can push them
[Music]
that is nice that's real
[Music]
my chief bomb
[Music]
parent claims Lord 260 of 2.9 seconds
all seconds later it's doing 120 miles
an hour
[Music]
really is very very sharp racing car
life
it's an animal it's a proper animal
[Applause]
the McLaren p1
[Music]
that's all the breaking I've got I get
it through
lighter and stiffer
hopefully something you go getting with
me to it
by more than the 720 acid it's got
everything
finally
oh yeah doesn't get much better than
that for me
