2021 Ford GT Is Still A One-Of-A-Kind Vehicle

The Ford GT isn't the freshest, fastest, trendiest, or the most expensive car speeding down California's Highway 1 during Monterey Car Week, but you'd never know it judging on the audience's reaction.
GT's cabin is unlike any other Ford you've seen before, and after buckling into an open-top supercar, the driver can't help but feel like he's in a race vehicle. Take note of the GT's obstructed sightlines and brush up on the squircle steering wheel's functions. It's not a car you can just hop in and drive; you have to see it for yourself.
The GT's twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 produces 660 horsepower, up 13 horsepower from when it first debuted. The 550 pound-feet of torque is the same, but it's plenty. The motor is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox that shifts quickly.
2021 Ford GT is as fast, straight, and accurate as any other supercar, but it has a bit of a rumble to it. The GT accelerates to 60 mph in only 3 seconds and has a peak speed of 216 mph, according to Ford. The carbon-fiber tub shakes with communication, and the steering feels hefty and lively. The GT isn't flawless, but it's a very unique vehicle. It is a rolling wave of adrenaline in an area where even the best gems strive to stand out.
