The town boy in me relished as I attended the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, where I saw the latest in car technology. Ford showcased the latest in innovation with their trio performance vehicle reveal. From the ultra sexy aerodynamic Ford GT, to the race ready, yet road legal Shelby GT350R Mustang, to the military-grade, aluminum-alloy body of the Ford 150 Raptor; Ford continues to drive innovation, while delivering performance.
- Sets new standards for Ford innovation through performance with advances in light-weighting, aerodynamics and ultra-efficient EcoBoost engine
- Features rear-wheel drive, a mid-mounted engine, and a sleek, aerodynamic, two-door coupe body shell.
- Ford GT features the most powerful EcoBoost production engine ever - a new twin-turbocharged Ford EcoBoost V6 producing more than 600 horsepower
- Ultra-high-performance supercar is Ford's most extreme offering, infused with race-proven technology engineered to keep company with exotics when it goes into production in 2016
- All-new, purpose-built high-strength steel frame unique to Ford F-150 Raptor, and high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body help save more than 500 pounds of weight for improved performance and capability
- Powered by all-new, high-output 3.5-liter EcoBoost® engine with more horsepower and torque than current Raptor's 411-horsepower, 434-lb.-ft. 6.2-liter V8; all-new 10-speed transmission; advanced LED lighting, camera technology for improved visibility day or night
- Redesigned, larger FOX Racing Shox with more suspension travel and all-new terrain management technology help F-150 Raptor tackle America's toughest trails - from dry washes in the Mojave Desert to Moab's rocky terrain to Michigan mud, sand and snow
.
These 3 vehicle are part of the 12 new Ford Performance vehicles that will be released and join the Focus RS and Shelby GT350 in the growing Ford Performance lineup.
