Ford GT
TG gets the full inside track on Ford's 638bhp, 216mph GT supercar However, the wing is not the GT’s only party piece. The active aero is clever, but what makes it really special is that it works in sync with the active chassis. The GT’s normal ride height is 120mm, but rotate the five-mode driving-style dial (more about that in a minute) to VMax or Race mode, and the car drops like it’s falling in a vacuum on its Multimatic DSSV dampers to 70mm. It also jumps instantly back up to 120mm like it has been electrocuted when the dial is turned the other way. When a few millimetres difference in ride height can mean a second’s improvement in lap time on a racer, you start to get the idea how this 50mm drop, along with all the other aero bits, could completely change the GT’s performance.
