The magnetism of the Ford GT is so strong that the gaggle of lenses and gawkers surrounding the vehicle at the North American International Auto Show left the GT350R and new Raptor virtually ignored on their turntables. Either 1 of those machines would typically draw a throng of people powerful adequate to generate its personal minor gravitational field, but the GT yanked the spotlight from each, as effectively as almost everything else in Cobo Center.
In a year that saw the reveal of the new CTS-V, the Alfa 4C Spider, the refreshed BMW M6, and the long-awaited production-spec look of the Acura NSX, that’s no mean feat.
But the niggling question hangs in the minds of many—what does FoMoCo’s new supercar sound like? It is a longstanding jab at the Viper that the V-10 snake sounds like a United Parcel Service car at idle. Scratch that. The GT is the new king of the demonic delivery trucks. The 3.5-liter V-6 garble-gargles by means of its high-mounted tailpipes, whilst the twin turbos send their barbaric whirring hiss echoing by way of the taillight tubes. If Steven Spielberg’s Duel have been remade by Michael Bay, it’s the noise the film’s menacing Peterbilt would make at rest. Watch the clip below to see what we imply.
