I wonder how the MKII development will impact the 2020 street cars.
FAQ for the MKII may provide some clues:
What makes Mk II the most track capable GT?
Ford and Multimatic have increased GT’s 3.5-litre EcoBoost engine to 700+ horsepower, while reducing weight and improving aerodynamics and chassis components to unleash the full potential of the GT platform, independent of global homologation rules for road cars and race series limitations.
How are you able to get more horsepower out of the same 3.5L EcoBoost engine in this application?
The Ford GT Mk II features oil gallery-cooled pistons, high flow charge air coolers and exhaust, and tuned calibration.
How fast is the car?
This is a track car with 400% more downforce than the road going Ford GT, which is what provides its impressive cornering speeds. Mk II is intended to be a track car with performance similar to GT3 race cars.
It is significantly faster than the road car but just shy of the race car’s pace, as it has more drag, it’s slightly heavier and the race car uses “confidential” tyres.
