RichardJensen Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 So, on the one hand, it's going to be really tricky to wash the inside of that flying buttress. Oh the other hand, holy crap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pictor Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I believe in the category in which it will compete, 4.0 L. I picked that up I think on Jalopnik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I assume the EB35 is based on Gen II like the upcoming Raptor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZanatWork Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hmmm......looks like a previous GT and a McLaren MP4-12C had a love child, and that's no bad thing. I'm very interested in the "next generation Ecoboost" motors, in this and everything else in the lineup. It sounds like the Raptor's getting a serious power boost, and I'm glad...because the TT V-6 power bar is over 400 ponies at this point, so 365-380 isn't as impressive as it was a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Well we've only seen that for like 5+ years now Half the people in the auto show must have been asking, "Isn't this on the market now?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 it is a very beautiful car,but why no v8?FORD GTs were known for those v8s. :happy feet: Probably because of the class they want to enter. That said, the choices are EB35 as the base or Coyote 5.0L. I would be surprised if both were not trialed and considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 This 3.5L EB is a purpose built race engine with race level components. It's not the same as the regular 3.5L EB street engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 This certainly makes the new Acura NSX look tame by comparison: I've considered the NSX to be a different animal then the GT. It looks like the GT is going against some of the bigger guns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
