Ford GT becomes the fastest gas powered car to ever lap the Nurburgring

[DeluxeStang]

Completing a lap in 6:15. That makes it the third fastest car around the ring ever, the fastest American car, the fastest gas only car with the 1st and 2nd place cars being a hybrid and EV respectively, and the fastest car that's actually sold to people, 1st and 2nd were one offs owned by their brands that customers can't buy.

Overall, this is really badass. I really hope they take these learnings, and apply it to future mid-engine Ford models as well as other stuff. It's insane how Ford's just going all out right now.

It's not a regular Ford GT, it's a 1.7 million dollar 2600lb track-only version they only are making 67 of

Right, but that's a hybrid, the GT was the fastest gas-only powered car.

Although Farley contradicts himself too much, I can say one thing…. The dude loves racing and is going all in on that front.

Exactly, show me a car that set a comparable time to that around the ring that isn't a 7 figure car, you can't.

He's definitely the coolest CEO running a car company right now imo.

That's a pretty low bar.

That video was so intense. Damn that is an amazing car.

I'd say Kuniskis...former Dodge/Ram CEO, and now in another position with Stellantis, set the bar pretty high. They are lucky to have him.
