Ford GT40...Continued

Braking is handled by six-piston aluminum Alcon calipers with cross-drilled and vented rotors at all four corners. When the rear hatch is opened, the rear suspension components and engine become the car's focal point. Precision-milled aluminum suspension components link to 19-inch Goodyear tires - combined with the overwhelming presence of the V-8 powertrain - create a striking appearance and communicate the GT40 concept's performance credentials.

The powerplant is an all-American V-8 from Ford's modular engine family. The modular 5.4-liter engine features aluminum four-valve heads, forged crankshaft, H-beam forged rods and aluminum pistons, all combining to handle more than 500 supercharged horsepower and 500 foot-pounds of torque. This is about the same as that in the LeMans winning race cars. This automobile is serialized as #1148. The last serial number of the original GT40s was #1147. Designers said, "Our goal was not to create a new vehicle, but to evolve and reissue the vehicle in it's true form". No skip in number sequence is a good indication to me that Ford will make this piece of machinery, even though in small numbers.
