Ford GT Mk IV's Final Wave Captured in Photographs
Digital Staff Writer Bryan Hood Covers the Arrival of the Ford GT Mk IV
Bryan Hood, a digital staff writer, has recently turned his attention to the latest addition to the Ford supercar family: the Ford GT Mk IV. This track-only variant boasts an elongated carbon-fiber body, a two-seat cabin equipped with racing harnesses, and a giant fixed rear wing, all designed for extreme aerodynamic performance.
Hood's career in journalism spans various publications, including the New York Post, Artinfo, and New York magazine, before joining his current magazine. The specific nature of his work at these previous establishments is not detailed, but his past work has included covering a variety of topics, such as celebrity gossip.
In his current role as a Senior Staff Writer, Hood's work at the specified magazine remains unspecified, with the department or beat he covers left undisclosed. However, his latest piece focuses on the Ford GT Mk IV, a vehicle that has generated significant interest among car enthusiasts and collectors.
Key specifications of the Ford GT Mk IV include a third-generation 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine, tuned by Roush-Yates Engines to produce over 820 horsepower. The car is also equipped with a paddle-shifted, advanced six-speed gearbox optimized for track use, a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, and Multimatic Adaptive Spool Valve dampers that can be adjusted from the cockpit without stopping.
The car generates more than 2,400 pounds of downforce at 150 mph, thanks to its aerodynamic package that includes the fixed rear wing. This aerodynamic performance allows for cornering at over 3g forces.
The Ford GT Mk IV is a dedicated racing machine, as evident in its two-seat cabin and lightweight carbon-fiber body. Testing has shown that non-professional drivers can lap quicker in the Mk IV than professional drivers did in the original GTLM race car, demonstrating the car's exceptional on-track capability.
In summary, the Ford GT Mk IV is a cutting-edge evolution of the Ford GT, combining race-proven technology with modern enhancements. Hood's coverage of this vehicle offers an exciting glimpse into the world of high-performance racing for readers of his current magazine.
