    Ford GT Returns To Le Mans



    "Ford announced today it is returning to one of the most prestigious automobile races in the world with its new Ford GT race car, based on the all-new ultra-high-performance supercar that goes on sale next year.

    The Ford GT race car will compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans – referred to by many as the Grand Prix of Endurance and Efficiency – starting next year. Revealed today at the famous circuit in Le Mans, France, Ford GT will compete in the Le Mans GT Endurance class for professional teams and drivers (LM GTE Pro)."

    As it should.
    Half of history is hiding the past.

              I'd assume so, considering what went down 50 years ago.

                I want to know more about it. "Just like the road-going GT, the racer will use a 3.5-liter turbocharged EcoBoost V6. "

                  All I've found is that those 650hp came from larger turbos, exhaust, fuel, and tune. Not sure if the Le Mans will have more power.
                  I suspect lighter, stronger internals are in there as well.

                      Probably pretty similar to the ecoboost they run in the Daytona prototype.

                          Love the car, but I really wish they'd stop reusing the same nomenclatures on everything. "The mustang GT!" "The GT 350!" "The GT 500!" "The Ford GT!" Yay! They have like, no imagination.

                            It's heritage and lineage.
