    Could Ford Really Be Having A Go At A Nurburgring Lap Record With Their GT?

    There has been a recent video blowing up on YouTube of a Ford GT being taken to its limits around the infamous Nordschleife but what’s more interesting is that the common suspicion seems to be that the American manufacturer might be trying its hand at the Nurburgring lap times with its latest 647 hp (482 kW) supercar.

    Yes, the video could’ve been of a random Ford GT being lapped by a private owner, but the car in question wears the U.K number plate “GT17 FOE”. This means that this GT is the same car Ford showcased in several motoring shows such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Furthermore, this is the same licence plate that appeared on the second season of The Grand Tour where Jeremy Clarkson was driving a blue Ford GT. As the plate perceptibly abbreviates “GT 2017 Ford of Europe”, this particular car is quite evidently factory-owned.

    It is no secret that there is a tug of war surrounding the Nurburgring production car lap record. Not so long ago the Lamborghini Huracan Performante claimed the fastest lap time before Porsche took its crown with the GT2 RS, and recently Lamborghini took back the title with the upcoming Aventador SVJ. If Ford really is looking to set a new record on the notoriously long circuit, it would make things even more exciting.

    With the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ boasting a power output of 759 hp (566 kW) going on all four wheels, the 647 hp (482 kW) rear-wheel drive Ford GT will have to punch well above its expectations to beat the 6 minute 44.97 second current lap record.

    TheDrive reached out to Ford Performance asking about a record run to which they simply responded, “We test many vehicles around the world but do not discuss details.”

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?

    • The latest BMW X4 M Competition is undeniably quick. It packs a rip-snorting engine delivering bonkers acceleration and some seriously impressive handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

This LCI model boasts a sweet technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model.

The ride however is a tad hard-edged and the X3 M Competition alternative does offer more practicality. If you prefer coupe-like styling this is the one for you even if Sao Paulo Yellow may not be your first choice.
