Ford Unveils Trio of Performance Vehicles at NAIAS

Ford Unveils Trio of Performance Vehicles at NAIAS
JACKSON, Mich. - It is safe to say that Ford Motor Company did not waste a minute of time on day one of the 2015 North American International Auto Show. With the debut of a mean looking SVT Raptor, a track-ready Shelby, and the returning GT, attendees had plenty to talk about yesterday at the Cobo Center in Detroit. 

Ford unveiled a trio of performance vehicles at the NAIAS yesterday, which included the next-generation SVT Raptor, the Shelby GT350R, and the Ford GT supercar. First, let's talk about the creme de la creme, the sleek, the edgy, all-new Ford GT. This baby was most certainly the talk of the town yesterday, considering that Ford had kept the car secret until about a month ago when some leaks spread on the internet. The GT houses a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine that boosts 600-horsepower! The supercar also contains a fiber passenger cell, aluminum front and rear subframes, and carbon fiber body panels. Ford anticipates that the exclusive GT model will go on sale in 2016.

As anticipated, Ford also revealed the next-generation F-150 SVT Raptor. This high-performance off-road version of the all-new 2015 F-150 has officially been noted as Ford's toughest AND smartest truck. Along with its aluminum body and 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, the new Raptor also contains a new 10-speed transmission system and Fox Racing Shox that help to give the truck more grip and adaptability for off-road excursions. This beauty also has some pep in its step, producing 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque!

The third of Ford's unveiled performance vehicles at the NAIAS is the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R, but you can simply call it the "Ultimate Mustang". This Shelby is the closest thing to a professional racing version of the Mustang that can actually be driven on public roads. Pause for astonishment. This Shelby contains a 5.0-liter flat-plane crank V-8 that can produce more than 500 horsepower! Ford decided shed some weight from the Mustang by using carbon fiber wheels and eliminating some basic features like a backup camera system.
