2006 Ford GT
For a two-seat supercar with racing bloodlines, the 2006 Ford GT is one of the most expensive. There is a noticeable difference in design between the GT’s current second iteration and its predecessor from 2005-to 2007. It has a carbon-fiber tub and carbon fiber body panels for a mid-engine configuration. A twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 with 647 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque powers the Ford GT, redesigned for the 2017 model year. It has a 7-speed dual-clutch rear transaxle to transfer its power to the rear wheels.

Performance and Fuel Economy
The 2006 GT is driven by an all-new mid-engined powertrain with 500 horsepower and 500 feet-pounds of torque. The engine’s architecture is derived directly from the MOD engine range of Ford that includes performance powertrains such as that 390-horsepower 4.6-liter DOHC supercharged V-8 in the SVT Mustang Cobra. The Ford GT‘s gasoline tank should be located in the central tunnel because it reduces the likelihood of accidents, especially in the event of a crash.
A side advantage of this placement is that it maintains a reasonably constant weight distribution and center of gravity even when the fuel level changes. The fuel tank is the first of its kind in the industry, being shaped like a ship within a bottle. On steel, rail is installed the mechanical components, such as the fuel pumps, level sensors, and valves for initially controlling the flow of vapor. Single-piece tanks are then formed via blow molding. This technique optimizes gasoline capacity while minimizing the number of fuel system connections.

Driver Seat Design
There’s no mistaking the interior’s primary focus: on the driver. This isn’t to say the passenger is harmed, but the person in the right seat is just there for the ride. The interior, therefore, should not be confused with that of a high-end model. For example, painted metal is visible around the door edges, and automated temperature control is not offered. The instrument panel is centered around the driver, with the gauges that monitor the most vital tasks positioned closest to the driver’s line of sight. The lower gauges are arranged in decreasing significance across the dash to the right. Hooded pods protect everyone from the sun’s harmful rays and allow rapid scans in practically any light. 8000 revolutions per minute are shown on the tachometer in front of the driver, with the red line at 6500 revolutions per minute (RPM).

Gauges
The engine water temperature is shown to the left of the tachometer and varies widely depending on speed and outside temperature. The oil pressure gauge is located to the right of the steering wheel, inside its arc. The voltmeter, boost monitor, and fuel gauge are located next to the speedometer, which indicates a maximum speed of 220 mph. Five toggle switches for the lights, rear defrost, and danger flashers are located behind the gauges on a mini-shelf.
Styling
In its own right, the Ford GT can be confused with the original GT40 racing vehicle and its subsequent iterations. Nevertheless, when the ’05 is parked door by door, it displays the concessions that had to be made to produce an honest, contemporary street vehicle worthy of the gran tourismo designation. In every way, it’s bigger, measuring 18 inches longer overall. Even though the ducting is still functional, it is more subtle and incorporated into the surface planes and curves. Still, the GT’s raison d’etre can’t be overlooked. It’s designed to be driven swiftly, so everyone else on the road should use caution. Even more refreshing is how well-done the 2005 styling was at mimicking GT racing’s front end while including a bumper structure that met federal crash regulations. High-intensity discharge projector headlights with transparent, aero-flush lenses are fitted into the fenders’ top leading edges.
