Feast your eyes on the new "Liquid Carbon" Ford GT

• https://newatlas.com by Loz Blain

Granted, it's not a truckload of extra power; the 2017-2019 model only drew 13 fewer peak horses out of its 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. But peak power, as easy a figure as it may be to boast about, is really more relevant to racetracks than road driving, and the "broader torque band" Ford says it's created for the 2020 model is likely to be much more noticeable when you plant a boot. Either way there's no word yet on whether this upgrade will raise the old model's 216 mph (348 km/h) top speed.

The engine gets some 50 percent more airflow through its cooling system thanks to new vents built into those outrageous flying buttresses reaching back from the roof, a design feature that will never stop making us gasp and drool, no matter how many times we've seen it used. There are bigger intercoolers, too, meaning temperature is better controlled when you're flogging the living daylights out of it in a sustained fashion.
