Straight from the Detroit Motor Show come rumors of a possible new version of the Ford GT, the sport itself the heir of the legendary GT40, winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966. A talk was Derrick Kuzak, head of global product development, who has confessed to the House's intention to produce a new generation of super, but not immediately.Kuzak did not enter into specific, saying only "We think there are certain things regarding the future production plans nost of which we do not want to talk." It seems then that Ford is working there and according to some rumors they will see an initial concept of the supercar ' blue oval around 2015 and then have a final version in 2016.
Again according to the rumors on the Internet, the future will mount a Ford GT V6 EcoBoost family instead of the turbo 5.4-liter V8, while retaining the same performance supercar. He then speaks also of hybrid and electric versions, as is now mandatory for all new cars, about sports. Taking into account also the fact that the new Ford GT is going to collide with models like the Mercedes AMG SLS, whose electric version is planned for 2013, it is easy to think as well as in Detroit are thinking to zero-emission engines of their supersport.
Decided instead to change the style of those forms do not resume GT40 and GT, but will be completely new. We await news.
