Who’s ready for a Ford GT generation drag race!
We’ve got our hands on an original Ford GT 40 from 1967, a second-generation GT from 2006, and a third-generation from 2017!
So let’s see how the three compare. Starting with the GT 40, it comes equipped with a 4.7-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can deliver 310hp and 450Nm of torque. This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 5-speed manual gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,230kg. Back when it was first released it cost $18,500, but if you’re looking to buy one today it’ll easily set you back $2,500,000!
Then we have the Mk2. It’s packing a 5.4-litre supercharged V8 that puts down 560hp and 680Nm. All the power it sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual, and it weighs in at 1,520kg. It cost £110,000, but now it costs around £500,000.
Then finally we have the latest GT. It’s powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 that can put down 650hp and 750Nm. It’s the only car here with an automatic gearbox, with all this power sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual clutch. It tips the scales at 1,485kg, and while it cost £440,000 when it was first released, it’s now valued at around £1,000,000.
So will it be a walkover for the all-new GT, or could one of the older ones get a shock win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
Thanks to @PetersenMuseum for setting up this drag race!

All the old magazine drag times from seemingly stock cars were usually performed on a proper drag strip and more often than not with a little souped up cars.

Those three names are associated with the car through their contributions to motorsport in the 60s. Peter Brock was a designer of the Shelby Daytona Coupe, which competed with the Ford GT40 at the time. The other two were racing drivers and both raced the Ford GT40 in endurance races such as Le Mans.

I think the one I would like to own the most is the 2006 GT. Of course the original GT40 is the most beautiful and the original one, but in reality you can't use that really on the streets, to go cruising a weekend in the alps or so. Too expensive, too fragile, it's a priceless antique. The 2017 GT is the most advanced and obvously fastest, but I think the 2007 one captured the spirit of the GT40 the best. Both in looks and in concept. Manual transmission, big supercharged V8, proper old school supercar. Probably the most fun to drive (save the original GT40 probably but that's priceless...)

That 13.9 sec 1/4 mile for the original 67’ GT is actually very impressive, I mean sure we all knew it would get dusted by the newer generations, but for it’s time that 1/4 run would’ve been considered hyper car territory, and it certainly hasn’t lost any ponies under the bonnet considering it is still on par with alot of modern day turbocharged 4 cylinder performance cars with similar hp. And it sure is a looker, what a car, old is gold as they say.
