[Autopost] Ford GT. Veni, Vidi, Vici.

One way or another, I want to believe that interest in the topic was not lost. And therefore, for the seventh time I welcome all those who are not indifferent to auto -art and complex speech turnover. Today you will find before the disgrace, overloaded with the rays of the author’s adoration “Avtopost” about the heir to the legendary “killer of Ferrari” and a representative of a small breed of “elegant Americans” – Ford GT. “Ye be war!”, As they say.

If something went wrong:
Five Finger Death Punch – Battle Born
The Second Chance – Going Down
Linkin Park (ICE MC) – Leave Out All the Rest

However, grace is a purely external thing, ceremonial. If someone suddenly, during the reading of previous such texts, decided that, slipping in the bathroom or having received a shock, I will speak in a high syllable, he will be disappointed. But lovers of all large, powerful and eight -cylinder under the hood GT, it will not befall. The double dose of brutality is also ensured by the fact that the almost identical 550-horsepower “heart” was also ensured by the monsters such as Ford F-150 Lightning and Lincoln Navigator. The beast peacefully settled behind the driver’s seats and passenger in an embrace with a six -speed manual gearbox. Although that I am about horses and cylinders at once. It will be nice and about the “folder” of our today’s hero to put in a few words. Moreover, the life of it was bright.

It began, by the way, with the https://gamblingdata.net/casinos/trada-casino/ epic quarrel. In the far of 1963, passionately wanted to conquer Le-Mani Ford II attempted to buy from old Enzo Ferrari his precious company. Of course, and all the developments at 24 hours of Le-Man would get ford. The “achievements” these, by the way, were at that time out of competition-Ferrari won five times in a row in the famous 24-hour races, and were a very tasty piece capable of satisfying the racing appetites of Henry Jr. But the devil-ssa American agreed with the Italian. Enzo at the last stage of negotiations cancels everything, than Ford leads to rabies. The latter, wanting to take revenge, collects all the forces of the company in order to hit the very sick place in the body of any Italian – by pride.

A fist that can strike such a blow, and became the GT40-a car born for one single purpose: to come to Europe and destroy everything that crawls out onto the track. The mission was fulfilled: from the 66th to the 69th year of Ferrari Cups (like anyone except “Fords” in general) in Le Man did not see, despite all the changes in the regulations designed to strangle an American upstart.

30 later, with a penny after public humiliation of the Italian “grooms”, the first prototypes of the supercar, which Ford celebrated two dates: a centenary of the founding of the company and the anniversary from the same victories in Le Man. The body design was almost completely repeated by the racing ancestor – the same lines, a huge windshield, wide rear wheels. Unless in growth GT added: 43 inches against the original 40. And the doors opened along with the roof section, allowing them to easily climb into the salon. They thought about tall people, as if they were rushed to me in my heart!

What, I, I … Ah, yes. For order, I will supplement the performance characteristics of the above: the working volume of the engine was 5.4 liters. Before the “hundreds”, all this joy accelerated one and a half -tower handsome in 3.9 seconds, further issuing the maximum 330 km/h. The number of horsepower and maximum speed, by the way, are so beautiful and round, because they were limited to electronics. I would call it “protection from fools”, but for the deplorable consequences of them and these numbers for three lives will be enough for three lives … By the way, about fools and electronics. The car did not tolerate the inexo behind the wheel, because he had auxiliary systems, like external body kit – for nothing – they left the stereo system and air conditioning. Asceticism was due to the unwillingness of Ford to spoil the spirit of those very racing cars of the 60s. However, GT was only good. Not so many of them rest on landfills today, because papenkin sons prefer cars easier (and often smarter than they themselves).

But in skillful hands GT works miracles so far. Everything to the last screw in the back is calculated so that the car simply sticks to the road and without any huge “benches” hanging above the stern. And I already said everything about dynamics. So Ford in their desire for minimalism and production was simplified, and expenses were reduced, and the muscles in front of competitors played so that they are still afraid. But there are rumors about the ideological heir to the model. In 2016, just half a century from the victory in Le Man will hit ..

Well, okay, now a little about sad: produced GT from 2003 to 2006. The planned circulation was 4,500 copies, but … did not work out. Only 4038 cars of this model saw the world.

But not in quantity, it is true? Is it a joke: in fact, the same car with a difference is slightly less than half a century terrified the best European car concerts both on the highway and on public roads. Yes, he’s not about innovation. If what was the first GT, this is in giving the phrase the “two strips” of the second meaning, not terrifying a man, but forcing him to involuntarily blur in a satisfied smile. Yes, GT is not about mass – the price of 150 kilobaxes bites during serial production, and now it has grown even more multiplying. Yes, GT is not about environmental friendliness … But with all its nature, every body bend and the piston movement along the cylinder, this car says to the driver: “Choose me and win me. And you will not just win, but do it stylishly “. And where is it from, after reading the text, it is not difficult to understand – it was thought by its creators: the best in his class, devoid of all the tinships and trinkets, sports from tires to strips on the body. Winner.

Here we will jump from the express of my delight to the standard moral station. How the first GT40 was produced in the distant 60s with a specific purpose, so each person in life should have its place. I sincerely wish everyone to find him, to develop in the fact that you really love and know how to, and do not stop at anything in your desire to come as close as possible in the chosen field to perfection.

I take a break.
As always, I was glad for you to try and
Thank you for your attention!
