When someone buys a roughly $450,000 Ford GT, they will never really be bothered about the mileage that the car will give. However, the EPA has rated the supercar anyway. The verdict is that the Ford GT does not drink up the fuel. The numbers that are shown, are very close to the last-gen GT despite the new model making more power.
The 2017 Ford GT is EPA-rated 11/18 mpg city/highway. This figure is slightly less than the 2005 Ford GT. The 2005 Ford GT was rated 12/19 mpg. It can be noted that both cars have the same 14-mpg combined rating. This is most likely due to the EPA averaging the pre-rounded numbers.
The upcoming 2017 model by Ford is powered by a high-output twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6. This is powered to make at least 600 hp. It is also backed by a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The first Ford GT ever had used a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 that made 550 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque coupled to hit a new six-speed manual, reported MSN.
It is a known fact that a person who buys a supercar is never going to be taking the decision of which car to pick based on a little difference in mpg. However, since the data is available, the Ford GT can be compared to the competition anyway.
The GT stands above the 10/16 mpg of the all-wheel-drive 2017 Lamborghini Aventador LP740-4. On the other hand, it falls short of the Ferrari 488 GTB's 15/22 mpg and the McLaren 650S' 16/22 mpg. If one is in the lookout for a super car which sips the least fuel, the hybrid 2017 Acura NSX is leading them all with its 21/22 mpg rating, reported Motor Trend.
All 250 copies of the 2017 Ford GT, that will be released has already been grabbed. However, the customers who are interested can get in line for the 2018 model.
