A lot of people don't realize that the weight to hp ratio and balance of the areo is engineered to have the 6 cylinder in the car being the perfect performance match ! That's why the seat doesn't move ! The suspension and weight balance was calculated for maximum performance ! Otherwise why not put in a V12 or V8 ? Mathematically it decreases performance ! This is a road car not a drag car my fellow gear heads !
You could still put a V12 in a road car. The thing is - this car was made for LeMans 24h and is a proper racecar since 2016. Now it has a little "normal" version that's street legal. That's why it has a V6.
There is a video on here from Drag Times with a gt against a 2019 ZR1 with not cats or resonators at a 40mph roll at a drag strip the gt wins everytime I forget how many runs, its a good video.
Nope. This is why this car will depreciate like crazy and the 2006 Ford GT is the best GT that Ford has ever produced. A proper V8 in a proper sports car. I suppose Corvette has taken it from here instead (C6 Z06 records, C6 ZR1, C7 Z51, C7 ZR1, and soon the all-new C8 Z51)

@zzzx xzzz - Actually, Ford built this machine as a race car, first, and a road car second. Just look at the interior - plain, sparse and business like, as a race car needs to be.
Yes, with a V-8 you would have 0-60 in 2 seconds and a top speed pushing 240 mph without breaking a sweat, this car is SCREAMING for V-8 treatment and I hope that Ford builds a limited number just to make a statement power to the world.

Joshua - agreed ... why do so many British presenters have a ghastly fascination with hanging the rear end out and trashing the tires? Chris Harris was perhaps the absolute worst offender in that regard. Idiotic, to say the least!
Random Spectator..... Lol The Viper is only a true sports car just like GMs Vette.... Both cars are far too cheap for supercar status .....The only true American made supercar is Ford's GT everything else from America is a sports car.....
The viper ACR, corvette ZR1 and GT are without a doubt super cars they're not even cheaply made, in fact they will last much longer than any European sports car
For those people whining about it "only being a V6", the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is "only a 3.8L F6" and it gets to 100km/h in 2.8 seconds... you don't need 8 or more cylinders to go ridiculously fast. I give total props to Ford for this fantastic piece of engineering!
Ford has shown that high technology and engineering has proven that V-6 engines can match and in some cases can outperform V-8 engines. Zero to sixty in three seconds and over two hundred miles per hour from a six cylinder engine is amazing. But it is not all about the powertrain, it is all about the chassis, weight distribution and aerodynamics.
Lol. You guys kill me . They have show absolutely nothing . Other the they can make power with a v6 . Welcome to the 21 century . The v8 will always perform better no mater what . Get it thru you heads people . I own an ecoboost .v6 twin F150 . Love the truck for what it is but ford totally lied about its performance . My fuel mirage isn't good for a v6 . Actually if I'll be honest it sucks . Had I known the before hand I would of got the 5.0 . Again I love my truck
Just because our Car culture prefers Drag racing over Road courses, doesnt mean We cant build a world class Track car to rival Europe's Best.

Yup, Ford’s uk and Canadian partners should be very proud of their amazing work. UK for engineering (think every F1 and Indy car save Ferrari) and Canada for manufacturing engineering and final manufacturing. Oh, and the USA for exterior design. Can forget that!
@@foreverinteriors I mean, it was also engineered in the US, so you're saying it doesn't count as traditional American car, even though it was designed and engineered in the states? I'd still consider that an American car boyo.
I always knew the V6 or Straight 6 Motor was the sweet spot for power, economy and overall maintenance and reliability. Turbo a 6 and you're easily capable of matching motors far larger in capacity.
This really makes me want to jump for a Supra. My STI just requires so much $$$ to get a lot of power that really isn't reliable or economically sound. It seems the V6 is powerful enough to not wast too much fuel and doesn't overpower and waste fuel.
Ford just released/introduced the Ford GT Mk.II this week at Goodwood. You have to hear this new more powerful version of this car. It sounds everybit as good as a Porsche RSR 991. Sounds like they've upped the rev limit by 2,000rpm and sweetened that exhaust note to a howl that will make anyone smile and forget about wanting a V8.
Just the weight saved is pretty significant. Ford is killing it with this car, in looks, performance,and engineering. It used to be be all about displacement, still sort of is. But the future is big HP with smaller displacement. The Mitsubishi Evo can do 800hp out of a 4 banger, why can’t America do a 650-750 even 850 hp V6 engine?
@@SVTJD they actually can my buddy has a v6 2014 mustang and its around 730whp it has twin turbos forged internals bigger injectors boost cam full exhaust 4000 stall and the list goes on there are lots of reliable v6 American engines they are just slept on
This car is an engineering masterpiece and it is simply stunning to look at! I could never get board looking at videos of this car and this has to be one of the best videos made. Thank you for posting!
If the Ford GT doesn't blow you away your not a car person so go buy a vega or pinto and go about your business and leave the ppl that enjoys a true mind blowing stud alone.
Don't mess with the Pinto, you rear after burner. The Pinto with that German 2.0 L over head valve it's what started all the modern engine cam technology. One of the fastest little cars of the 70s.
Aesthetics meant everything to Enzo. And to us. Quick note: When he invited Carroll Shelby to drive for him, he was turned down because too many drivers died under Enzo. A dangerous business, bro. Many great drivers laid down their lives for the game.
@Gary Lee - Yes, and a big thanks to our Canadian friends at Multimatic. I hope Ford stays close with them for a long time! Merry Christmas Gary, and stay safe and healthy. From an equally proud American.

Video of the Ford GT spanking the 2019 Corvetter ZR1 on a drag strip. Only to show there was no actual way the GT that set the time at VIR was not even riding it that hard.
@Allen Saunders - But it's NOT a supercar - it's a race car, which is the only reason Ford built it. Just look at the interior - not lush and glitzy looking like a supercar. Looks more plain vanilla, like an economy car - that's the sign of a race car!
@n300zx931 - Why do you say it doesn't make much sense? It makes a lot of sense when you read about why Ford had this machine built, and with a TT V6 putting out 647 HP!
@@Loulovesspeed it doesn’t make sense that it’s as good as it is and that I like it that much when it doesn’t follow super car norms, but definitely is a super car.
@@n300zx931 It doesn't follow super car norms, because it is not a supercar by the standard definition. Those are McLarens, Lamborghinis, Koenigsegg, etc. Cars made for the public first, and may or may not get involved in racing. They have opulent interiors with lots of glitz and show. Look at the interior of the GT - it's as plain vanilla as you can get, because it is a race car first, and they neither need or want that excess stuff in them, adding unnecessary weight.
Ford did great, and they not once thought about how well it would sit in a garage...or how well it would drive on the highway. They made it beautiful and useful in its aero design, its an awesome car.

@@BigEightiesNewWave Some people actually want to know what a factory stock vehicle does on a track, not a spec-built racer that is inaccessible to the public.
People hate on American cars, they hate on the V6 but Ford, twice in 55 years decided to take on Lemans and win, not too shabby and that V6 is a monster and helps with how the car won it's first time out. This car is one hell of an achievement and the haters, well, Ford won didn't' they. ;)
only Ford nut swingers and Supercar fanatics agree with Ford's decision with this car if your a true American Car fanatic you would hate this piece of s*** just like I do
themcarter77 it sound just like my f150 ecobooat with aftermarket exhaust . Make another type of car with the motor . The FORD GT should never be anything less then a v8 .
Not 100% sure but I believe the racecar version was designed with the v6 to be more efficient and get better gas mileage in the long/24 hour races. The gt was a racecar first... it would only make since to try and bring it to the street just the way it was.
Which V8? Not anything from Ford! The supercharged 5.4L used before was a truck engine and it's gone. The 5.0 Coyote and the 5.2 Voodoo (bespoke for GT350) are both far too wide to fit this chassis. They are 2 of the widest V8s ever fitted to any sports car. The result would be a very different car, nothing like the shape you see here.. I do not know the weight of this power plant, it's probably similar to the Coyote but the width and total volume are much less. It had been developed in Rolex endurance racing for 4 years before use in the GT. The 3.5L (not very Eco) EcoBoost in the GT has the Right Stuff (for a race car). It won it's class at Le Mans. Time will tell when the (surviving) GTs are the most valuable and desirable out of production supercars. Anyway, 3.0 seconds 0 - 60 and 216 mph top speed suggest that it has enough power and doesn't need any more cylinders.
this car is absolutely breathtaking
Steven Tyler comeback

Probably the most beautiful car ever produced by an american carmaker.

Video of the Ford GT spanking the 2019 Corvetter ZR1 on a drag strip. Only to show there was no actual way the GT that set the time at VIR was not even riding it that hard.
Ford gt is American made?
One beautiful and sexy piece of art! The V6 sounds menacing and mean. What a Beast!!! One word. Wow! True American icon!
My favorite supercar.
Same here!
@Allen Saunders - But it's NOT a supercar - it's a race car, which is the only reason Ford built it. Just look at the interior - not lush and glitzy looking like a supercar. Looks more plain vanilla, like an economy car - that's the sign of a race car!
Probably the most badass supercar Ford has ever built in its iconic history. Ford has certainly outgunned it's Italian and British rivals
They should of got this guy for the American Top Gear, instead of Tom Ford.
apw75 nobody would understand him.
So crazy that it has a Ford badge and that it’s really that good with a turbo v6. Doesn’t make much sense, but I’m happy to see it. Truly amazing.
@n300zx931 - Why do you say it doesn't make much sense? It makes a lot of sense when you read about why Ford had this machine built, and with a TT V6 putting out 647 HP!
@@Loulovesspeed it doesn’t make sense that it’s as good as it is and that I like it that much when it doesn’t follow super car norms, but definitely is a super car.
@@n300zx931 It doesn't follow super car norms, because it is not a supercar by the standard definition. Those are McLarens, Lamborghinis, Koenigsegg, etc. Cars made for the public first, and may or may not get involved in racing. They have opulent interiors with lots of glitz and show. Look at the interior of the GT - it's as plain vanilla as you can get, because it is a race car first, and they neither need or want that excess stuff in them, adding unnecessary weight.
@@Loulovesspeed we have different opinions on it. It’s my favorite car though.
@@n300zx931 Well said sir, and have safe and happy holidays!
Yes ford gt 2017
Explained so professionally!!! Great content. Love the gt. A dream car indeed.
Love the car, but one thing is missing... Where's Jeremy Clarkson! Look this guy is boring 😟
Jeremy Helms Jeremy did review the new gt but on grand tour
Jeremy Helms agreed
Clarkson isn’t with top gear any longer
@@paulletchworth8127, ya we know, that's why it sucks now
Jeremy Helms Clarkson owned one and had trouble with the car alarm going off for no reason.
I’ll quote something real quick
“America, you are obsessed with V8’s”
Miss old Top Gear! Who is this guy?
Old top gear. Was rubbish
That’s most beautiful super car I ever seen
"Not qute fast and hard enough", man you are spoiled...
Ford did great, and they not once thought about how well it would sit in a garage...or how well it would drive on the highway. They made it beautiful and useful in its aero design, its an awesome car.
Ford GT - Roughly 500K - Willow Springs - 1:23.69Corvette ZR1- Roughly 130K - Willow Springs - 1:23.70And that's one reason why I'm not a fan of the GT.
Don't knock a 6 cyl. The 911 gt2 gets 700 hp and great performance out of a 6.
@Jim Johnson - Good point, Jim! Many youngsters today have no idea that a 190 HP V6 Ferrari won the F1 World Championship in 1960. Porsche has proven throughout its history the 6 cylinder engine is more than capable of beating larger V8 engines.
Why doesn’t Ford take the GT to Nurburgring ???
Why...they won their class at LeMans.
they are actually testing it lol look it up very recent
Because a Porsche selling for half as much will kick its ass there every time.
@@BigEightiesNewWave Some people actually want to know what a factory stock vehicle does on a track, not a spec-built racer that is inaccessible to the public.
Nah... Porsche won LeMans this year, and Aston Martin won the year before. Check your facts Buff Barnaby.
All hail FoMoCo!
Hey, I've got an awesome track car here. I think I'll play Tokyo Drift with it. Lame.
Just gorgeous and the sound!!! Would love to have that
I got a GT but it's a mustang 🤣
I got a gt but it’s in forza
People hate on American cars, they hate on the V6 but Ford, twice in 55 years decided to take on Lemans and win, not too shabby and that V6 is a monster and helps with how the car won it's first time out. This car is one hell of an achievement and the haters, well, Ford won didn't' they. ;)
Just started watching and realized that this isn't exactly Top Gear... It almost feels like I was baited to click....clickbait...lol - I'm outa here!
Gm is still trying to catch up! C-8
Wonder what it would do with a V8.
The car is designed around this engine.. so there is not what if in this case😉
Hey I'm going to need to borrow that car. Don't worry I'll take good care of it. It was made for me.
The Ford GT just made all the other super cars obsolete
The GT40 and Laguna Seca? In one day? What else do you need?????
Still think it should have came with a V8.
It didn't need it.
of course should have Ford is an American car company they should have done it with the V8 there varying off into your Euro style cars I hate it
only Ford nut swingers and Supercar fanatics agree with Ford's decision with this car if your a true American Car fanatic you would hate this piece of s*** just like I do
@@alexchevez8768 Euro, are you fucking insane? European cars are known for running more cylinders than us, not less.
@@alexchevez8768 No true Scottsman, you really are a bitch.
Beautifully filmed!
Beautiful car with a wrong engine . Should of been a v8 .
themcarter77 it sound just like my f150 ecobooat with aftermarket exhaust . Make another type of car with the motor . The FORD GT should never be anything less then a v8 .
Not 100% sure but I believe the racecar version was designed with the v6 to be more efficient and get better gas mileage in the long/24 hour races. The gt was a racecar first... it would only make since to try and bring it to the street just the way it was.
Plus if it's making the same power with less weight, there's really no downside. I personally don't care what it sounds like😂
Which V8? Not anything from Ford! The supercharged 5.4L used before was a truck engine and it's gone.
The 5.0 Coyote and the 5.2 Voodoo (bespoke for GT350) are both far too wide to fit this chassis. They are 2 of the widest V8s ever fitted to any sports car. The result would be a very different car, nothing like the shape you see here.. I do not know the weight of this power plant, it's probably similar to the Coyote but the width and total volume are much less. It had been developed in Rolex endurance racing for 4 years before use in the GT. The 3.5L (not very Eco) EcoBoost in the GT has the Right Stuff (for a race car). It won it's class at Le Mans.
Time will tell when the (surviving) GTs are the most valuable and desirable out of production supercars.
Anyway, 3.0 seconds 0 - 60 and 216 mph top speed suggest that it has enough power and doesn't need any more cylinders.
Tony Spadafino, wrong engine? How can you think it's wrong and win Lemans with that engine while beating V8s, V10s and V12s🤔 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤔
How does a channel with this high production value only have 3k subscribers? 🤔🤔🤔
This is Top Gear the British TV show, channel didn't produce it.
He does not know how to drive on a track
3.5l is fine given it picks up quicker, doesn’t use as much weight, and you don’t need to go more than 215mph at Le Mans
Hows that dust taste GM?
3:25 I never noticed how much styling it has in common with the Mustang until I saw it from this angle!
You really see styling common with a Mustang?? Oh well, different strokes for different folks!
