One of the undisputed highlights of the Detroit Auto Show was the unveiling of the new Ford GT, which has been vastly upgraded and improved.
The vehicle is powered by a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine capable of pumping out more than 600 horsepower. This engine uses dual fuel-injection and is hooked up to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
It is ultra lightweight thanks to the use of carbon fiber composite construction which makes for a car that is lightweight yet hardy.
The new Ford GT's display is also ultra-futuristic, and includes a stalkless steering column that gives drivers easy and uncluttered access to the paddle-shift controls. A fully digitized instrument menu gives drivers all the data they need, while the display can be configured to optimize for driving environment and different driving modes.
