Autoshow’un hayran olunan yarış makinesi Ford GT LM GTE Pro’nun atası 40 inç yükseklikli 1966 GT40 Mk II canavarı…
O tek elle kullanılamayan nadir makinelerden biri…
O tabi ki Replica 🙂 ancak Bruce McLaren ve Chris Amon’un kullandığı Shelby üretimi yarış galibi Mk II’nin bazı noktaları güncellenmiş birebir kopyası.
Çünkü 100-200 bin $ arasına sipariş edip ürettirebiliyorsunuz. Orjinalleri için 10-20 milyon $’ı gözden çıkartmak gerekiyor bu çağda. En son revizyon edilen 68 model Mk I Gulf modeli müzayede de vergileri dahil 13 milyon $ civarına satışla rekor kırmıştı.
Sahibinin bahşetmesiyle birkaç test videosunda görülebildiği üzere sürüşü oldukça zorlayıcı bir makine. Pist üstünde temiz bir çizgiyle dönmek o kadar zorken “O” adamlar bir de bu ucube şeylerle saatler boyunca sorunlarla boğuşarak yarıştılar… Yarım simit butonlarına basarak hayran olanlara, GTE Pro da çok acayip birşey yapmış gibi mikrofon önüne geçenlere duyrulur… 🙂
Superformance’ın orjinale sadakat ile sipariş geçmek isteyeceklere duyurusu ve nasıl yapılır…

| Notes:1. Data for 1966 Ford GT40 from: Road & Track, Oct 1966, Portrait of the Le Mans Winner, Technical Analysis. 2. Data for Superformance GT40 Mk II from: Dimensions measured from GT 001 Weights from factory data for GT 002. Production drive train ratios from factory data engine specs from Roush data. 3. Superformance GT40’s correct height depends on tire size and settings. 4. Superformance GT40 is lighter, primarily because of a lighter engine. 5. Difference in tread measurement is due primarily to differences in tire sizes. 6. Acceleration and fuel economy data from performance simulator. 7. Ford GT40 initial acceleration hampered by tall first gear. |
