Next-gen Ford GT supercar to B the hybrid, still weigh 500lbs less than predecessor?
Ford ‘s GT came back to life in the mid 2000s to give the brand the much-needed halo car & to re-kindle the fires of those who watched the GT40 trounce the Ferraris @ Le Mans in the late ’60s. It didn’t live long, although (unless) rumors of its re-resurrection R grow`g stronger. Latest comes courtesy of Auto Express , which indicates this generation GT`ll weigh right around 3,000lbs — the massive 500 lighter than its predecessor despite this new model supposedly pack`g the hybrid system. It’ll offer the supercharged V8 paired w/ an electric motor driv`g the front wheels, not unlike the setup in the Porsche 918 RSR & its street-go`g version, the 918 Spyder . If these rumors prove true it’ll hit Z target thanks to an all-aluminum chassis, composite body panels, & an aggressive diet.
