2016 Ford GT Review
Ford presents the new 2016 Ford GT a true super sports car that could not be more aggressive and has the finest racing technology on board. About 600 horsepower, producing a rich propulsion, so that even the current Ferrari 458 Italia with "only" 570 hp in terms of yield strength has left behind. The launch is scheduled for the end of 2016 and in Europe.

Sophistication in every detail: Design with a trick
The dynamic design of the deep squat Ford GT draws attention to the emotional line of a super sports car up, the look, the makers closely which are basically the iconic predecessor, the celebrated prestigious achievements on the worlds racetracks. At the same time, the new super sports car with its modern, functional and just beautiful lines represents the start of a new era.
Huge air intakes at the front and the side already indicate the enormous power potential, while sleek air guide elements are made of carbon aerodynamics and sharpen the look further. Meanwhile, can be positioned in the mid engine engine admired through a transparent window.

The rear features a powerful carbon diffuser, two round, reminiscent of engines tail lights and two huge, center and far top-mounted exhaust pipes. About the modern drivers cell spans the flat roof, which also contributes to the excellent aerodynamics of the new Ford GT.
The highlight: The new Ford GT has air guide elements that adjust adaptively to the driving situation. The thus generated variable pressure allows especially at higher speeds extremely high driving stability and combines this with an optimized aerodynamic drag coefficient.

The sophisticated aerodynamics also reflected in small body details, such as the silhouette is inspired in the perfect shape of a water droplet. In combination with the highly curved windshield, reminiscent of the cockpit canopy of modern fighter jets, this leads to an outstanding aerodynamic efficiency without including the clarity would suffer.
Thanks to numerous active aero components, such as the variable rear wing, the new Ford GT is also standard in terms of braking performance, handling and stability. Depending on driving conditions and speed, the rear wing fits both the height and the angle of the situational requirements to ensure the best possible performance.

Engine: The strongest standard EcoBoost engine of all time
When driving the hitherto most powerful EcoBoost petrol engine series used at all: a 3.5-liter V6 with two turbochargers, which has real racing genes and will develop over 600 hp. The mid-engine drives the rear wheels of the two-seater. The engine drives an endurance prototypes as they go, for example, in the "IMSA Tudor United SportsCar Championship" (USCC) and at the 24 Hours of Daytona at the start. Right in his debut season this aggregate celebrated three victories in 2014, reached seven podiums and finished this race almost 25,000 kilometers.
The torque yet unnamed Ford will extend over a wide speed range and provide high fuel efficiency. Weve come full circle: Also on the race track performance and efficiency serve as a guarantee for success. His power transmits the twin-turbo 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which provides almost instantaneous switching operations and the driver can have full control over the action.

Weight reduction is one of the most effective measures to achieve performance and efficiency. In the new Ford GT, the makers implement the most modern composite materials and carbon fiber elements. According to Ford, to achieve the GT one of the best power to weight ratio in its class.
Even chassis of reach innovative racing technology used. This is testified, inter alia, the pushrod suspension with pushrods and active stabilizer which can be adapted in height. For best possible grip performance tires provide the type "Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2", developed its structure and tread compound, the tire manufacturer for the new Ford GT. Behind the multi-piece 20-inch alloy wheels do carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo their service.

Interior: A steering wheel like in Formula 1
About the drivers cell spans the flat roof, which also contributes to the excellent aerodynamics of the new Ford GT. Access to the ergonomically designed interior of the supercar allow upwardly opening doors. The two seats Ford built directly into the carbon monocoque - this saves weight and ensures an optimum connection between driver and chassis. The result is an even more solid feel. Thanks to the adjustable pedals adjustable steering wheel and also the driver find virtually any body type fast optimal seating position.
The interior impresses with modern controls, comfort and safety. The steering wheel in the style of the current Formula 1 racing car bears all the relevant control buttons and shift paddles for the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Thanks to the freely programmable central digital displays the driver retains all vehicle information is always in view. The display unit can be freely programmed depending on the driving situation and selected driving mode.

2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R
Ford is located in an impressive noise and presents a new performance vehicle after another. With the new Ford GT Americans revealed in Europe comes 2015, the new Ford Focus RS on the market to shake up the scene of the compact sports fans, whereas in the new Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 with 500 hp, the strongest of Ford built in naturally aspirated series of all time for the propulsion provides. But that still was not enough Ford and submit again vigorously by: Later this year, the Shelby GT350R comes even more stringent in the US market, which even has wheels made of carbon.

Great role model for todays performance
Already the Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 white with his brute power to impress belonging. However, the addition of "R" puts forth extra: Thanks to numerous borrowings from motorsport allows the new Shelby GT350R even more dynamic trips to the racetrack. This Mustang is one of 12 performance vehicles that will bring Ford 2020 on the market.
Review: Exactly 50 years ago, Ford developed jointly with the deceased 2012 race car designer Carroll Shelby a sportier version of the iconic Ford Mustang. The Shelby GT350 Competition was distinguished by its lighter weight, a powerful V8 engine and a modern sports suspension. In motorsports, this vehicle celebrated many successes.
Following the prestigious triumphs of this historical model Ford developed the new Shelby GT350R a sports car that delivers an exceptionally good figure not only on the road, but also on the racetrack. Thanks to numerous innovations in the areas of aerodynamics, suspension and lightweight, the more than 500 horsepower pony car is the fastest production Mustang, Ford sent to the paddock today.

Drive: What does the suffix "R"
Under the hood lies dormant muscular contoured a real power plant: The eight-cylinder 5.2 liter engine mobilized from more than 500 hp and a maximum torque of 540 Nm over. First for Ford: The engine is characterized by a so-called "Flat Plane" "- crankshaft, as they usually come in thoroughbred racing cars or exotic supercar, devoting the crankshaft journals not in the V8 typical 90-degree offset, but in the. 180-degree angle arranged. Advantage: an even more direct response and high power output as well in the upper rpm range.
The new Shelby GT350-R has a special oil cooler, as used in racing cars. This ensures that the engine always operates even under heavy load at the optimum temperature window. Even the 6-speed manual gearbox and differential receive their own cooler. Whether at brisk cornering or accelerating in a straight line under full: The further developed by Ford Torsen lock on the driven rear axle always ensures optimum grip in all conditions.
Sports suspension as Lamborghini and Ferrari
Another unique feature of the Shelby GT350R proves the chassis specially developed. In addition to the revised spring rates, special stabilizers and lower center of gravity, the race track proven setup and special components are designed to provide an unprecedented agility. Finally, the Shelby GT350R benefits from the special vote of Magne Ride shock absorbers.

Thanks Magne Ride (Magnetic Selective Ride Control = Electronic Damping Control), which is also available at super sports car of the caliber of Lamborghini Huracans, Ferrari 458 Italias, a Corvette C7 or an Audi R8, the damping characteristic fits over a special, controlled by magnetic hydraulic fluid in 10 milliseconds to the road conditions and driving situation and thus improves handling significantly.
Driven weight saving on the top
In designing the new Mustang Shelby GT350R lightweight construction was at the top. The result: the iconic sports car is 65 kilograms lighter than the Shelby GT350 with the so-called "Track Pack". The "R" deliberately avoids air conditioning, audio system, rear seats, rear view camera, tire repair kit, carpets and the lining of the boot. The removal of the exhaust results in an additional weight saving and ensures a much more prominent for this exhaust sound. The exact weight is not called Ford.
For increased comfort requirements There is an optional package with a two-zone climate control, a navigation system with 8-inch touch screen, side mirrors with blind-spot assistant, an audio system and more.
The weight saving drives Ford so far that even the wheels are made from carbon fiber. Thanks to the lighter wheels respectively to 6.5 kg in 11 x 19 inch front and 11.5 x 19 inch rear benefited the Shelby GT350R of a significant reduction in unsprung masses. In addition, in comparison to conventional aluminum wheels, the carbon rims have a substantially higher rigidity. For best possible grip performance tires provide the type "Pilot Sport Cup 2", developed its structure and tread compound Michelin especially for the Shelby GT350R.

Strong muscular game with thoughtful extras
The Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R can visually flexing its muscles, but has to a sophisticated aerodynamic concept that includes, among other things, a clad underbody, a rear diffuser, air conduction in the wheel arches and special wind deflector, who also contribute to reduce air turbulence as the aerodynamic wheel design and side sills.
For increased output also ensure the revised front spoiler and the newly developed carbon rear wing. The latter allows especially at higher speeds on the racetrack and an even better handling with maximum stability.
These emphasize numerous design features the styling that are exclusive to the Ford Shelby GT350R reserved. These include, among others, in addition to the wheels of carbon, the larger front spoiler and rear wing red-painted brake calipers, the distinctive "Shelby GT350R" logo and the racing stripes available on request.
Interior: Strict focus on sharp curves
The cockpit of the Shelby GT350R directed from the makers of consistent sportiness. The Recaro sports seats offer sharp bends, an ideal lateral support. Meanwhile, the flat-bottomed steering wheel makes it easier to get in and out. Chrome and glossy finishes reduced the makers clearly so that the driver is not distracted sun reflections. Special decorative stitching, the "2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R" - emblem and the flat-bottomed sports steering wheel with red center mark set new accents.
