Ford GT tuned by Edo Competition

To be honest, when it comes to future classics like the Ford GT, I’m totally against any kind of tuning however "innocent" they may seem. But hey, that’s just me. Anyway, the German tuner’s GT pack includes a bit of mechanical fiddling with the addition of a new sport catalyst and reworked electronic management which pushes out from 550Hp to 610Hp @ 6.500 rpm and maximum torque to an impressive 800 Nm @ 4.500. –Continued: Click “Read More…” below

The 0 to 62mph (100 km/h) sprint now comes in 3,7 sec, thus shaving 0,2 sec off the stock version while the speedometer stops at 340 km/h / 211mph (stock: 330km/h - 205mph). Edo Competition also interferer’s with the GT’s appearance adding carbon-fiber engine bay paneling, a new rear spoiler, different alloy’s etc.
