2016 Ford GT unveiled at NAIAS

Ford unveiled the all-new GT, an ultra-high-performance supercar that serves as a technology showcase for top EcoBoost® performance, aerodynamics and lightweight carbon fiber construction.

The GT is one of more than 12 new Ford Performance vehicles coming by 2020. It joins Focus RS, F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT350R in the growing Ford Performance lineup. The GT will hit the road in select global markets to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ford GT race cars placing 1-2-3 at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The all-new GT supercar features rear-wheel drive, a mid-mounted engine, and a sleek, aerodynamic, two-door coupe body shell. It is propelled by the most powerful EcoBoost production engine ever – a next-generation twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 producing more than 600 horsepower.

The GT features an all-new, port/direct dual fuel-injection setup to improve engine response, plus a low-friction roller-finger-follower valvetrain. The twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 will be paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle for near-instantaneous gear changes and exceptional driver control.

The GT makes extensive use of lightweight materials, including carbon fiber and aluminum – enabling outstanding acceleration and handling with improved efficiency. An active rear spoiler is keyed to both speed and driver input, reactively deploying and adjusting its height and/or pitch angle depending on conditions.

The GT features aluminum front and rear subframes encapsulated in structural carbon fiber body panels. Carbon fiber is one of the world's strongest materials for its mass – enabling an ultra-stiff foundation for chassis components, while creating a lighter overall package for increased dynamic performance and efficiency. The two-seat cockpit is accessed by upward-swinging doors, and features driver and passenger seats integrated directly into the carbon fiber passenger cell.

The state-of-the-art chassis is suspended by an active racing-style torsion bar and pushrod suspension, with adjustable ride height. The 20-inch wheels are shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires featuring a unique compound and structure designed specifically for the Ford GT. Multi-spoke wheels encircle carbon-ceramic brake discs at all four corners.

Ford's commitment to and capability in delivering technologies typically offered only in elite vehicles is evident in the GT. These include advanced active aerodynamics, such as a deployable rear spoiler, and a host of material and technology innovations to help better serve the driver, such as SYNC® 3 – the latest version of Ford's advanced connectivity system.

Reiter Engineering's Lamborghini Gallardo FL2 GT3

The REITER Gallardo Strada GT3 is a derivate of the famous REITER Gallardo GT3 race car which has won and participated in countless GT3 races all over the world in Europe, Asia, Australia and America. 

The engine has racing camshafts for an improved torque curve, while new MAHLE pistons make it less thirsty while improving reliability.

The GT3 gets a carbon fibre front bumper with integrated louvers. Wider carbon fiber front fenders complement the race-like front optic which have been carried over from the race car.

The rear end is wider, with a 13cm increase to the rear axle width, which will helps better handling. The rear wing is a carry over part from the REITER Gallardo GT3 race car. The aluminium rear side panels have been replaced with carbon-fibre panels. The headlights as well as rear lights have been replaced with new ones.

The GT3 has an all black comfortable race-like interior design . FIA fire extinguisher system in carbon fiber look which has a concealed extinguisher fire button.

Some other performance upgrades are:

• Stainless steel muffler system manufactured by our partner and Formula 1 supplier MHG
• Weight reduction ca. 9 kg
• Increased power output (10 hp gain)
• Adjustable exhaust sound by using remote control

Hennessey Venom F5

The Hennessey Venom GT made quite a splash when it set a  Guinness World Record for the fastest production car from 0–300 kilometres per hour (0–186 mph) with an average acceleration time of 13.63 seconds. Also, the car set an unofficial record for 0–200 mph (0–322 km/h) acceleration at 14.51 seconds, beating the Koenigsegg Agera R's time of 17.68 seconds, making it the unofficial fastest accelerating car in the world. 


Here is its successor, the Hennessey Venom F5....

Why is it called F5? Here's the answer...The name F5 is derived from a top speed tornado. The Fujita scale pegs the strongest tornado as an F5, with windspeed of about 261 to 318 mph, which is in the region of the speed barrier that the Venom F5 was designed to break. Thus the name F5...


The new supercar from Hennessey Performance, Venom F5, will have an all-new design that is not only a powerful and unique but a vehicle that will achieve even higher performance through improved aerodynamics than its predecessor.


The next-generation twin-turbo powertrain is still under development, but turbo size for the longitudinally mounted V8 is increased, and the fuel system and intercooler capacity are upgraded to handle the demands of increased boost. Hard numbers for power are not yet available, but it’s conceivable that output could exceed 1400 bhp.


With extensive use of carbon fiber and aluminum, weight will remain under 1300 kg (2866 lb.), just slightly more than the Venom GT’s 1244-kg curb weight. So it’s highly probable the F5 will eclipse the Venom GT’s current acceleration records too, which stand at 14.51 seconds to 200 mph, and 13.63 seconds to 186 mph (300 km/h).


The Venom F5 will be unveiled in 2015 with deliveries to customers in late 2016. At least 30 Venom F5s will be produced for sale worldwide, at a price higher than that of the Venom GT, which currently sells for $1.2 million. The Venom GT will continue to be offered; at present, 16 cars of the 29-car total production run have been sold.

LaFerrari XX Will Be A 1050bhp Monster!!

The track-only version of Ferrari’s hybrid hypercar, LaFerrari XX will be revealed In Abu Dhabi in early December.

The LaFerrari will be a monstrous 1050bhp car, some 100bhp more than the road-going version. It's about 50 per cent more power than a 2014 F1 car.

It will have a naturally aspirated V12 and electric motor which will produce up to a total output of around 1050bhp, 60-something horsepowers north of the similarly track-only McLaren P1 GTR. It seems that extra power has been found from the V12 rather than the electric modules, which are said to produce the same 161bhp as before.

A standard LaFerrari manages 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds, and 124mph in under seven. Just try and visualize how the XX will perform.

Like the Enzo FXX that came before it, this OTT LaFerrari will be kept at Maranello, tended to lovingly by Ferrari’s own engineers and only wheeled out for eight specific track events held each year around the world.
