Notes:
By no means is the engine in this car in any way high tech, but that doesn’t stop every inch of this car from being super. This engine might not be the most impressive thing to come through the doors of Ford’s and Proto’s factory but it sounds like an orchestra of earthquakes, and you’ll realize when you put your foot down what matters isn’t the size of the engine, it is the near 355hp that will send this car past M3s. We originally wanted this engine to be supercharged to 460hp, quite like the Shelby GT500, but we realized that such a car was so fast it couldn’t compete with anything. It was too fast. To deal with this cars weight balance that resembles that of an old Porsche we practically lifted an LSD from the Porsche GT2, and played with the suspension until we made a vehicle that was wasn’t just drivable, but survivable. Of course in any car balanced like a Porsche you know what to look out for in handling. Hopefully we’ve transformed this car from axe murderer to gentle giant.
