What Would A Chip Ganassi Ford GT Look Like?
What Would A Chip Ganassi Ford GT Look Like?-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:46

It's widely accepted that Ford has taken the 3.5L turbo V6 from the Chip Ganassi Daytona Prototype and stuffed it in a road car to make the Ford GT. Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi admitted as such yesterday. So, here's what the Ford GT would look like in Ganassi's DP livery.

It is, of course, photoshopped as a GTLM car—just in case it goes to Le Mans. Ford's still playing race program info keep-away with us, but how could it not?

Here's what Jamal Hameedi had to say to , where he's like, pssshyeeeah, it's totally a DP engine:

The 3.5 is the engine we've been running in the Daytona Prototype class with Ganassi. It won Sebring, Long Beach. A lot of what we did in DP last year is in this engine. It's very efficient power, plus the packaging size allows for the body design. If you see the GT from above, you'll see the fuselage tapers in. You need a compact engine. I'm pretty confident that when you sit in it, you won't be thinking about trucks.

That sure lends a bit more credibility to the rumors about Chip Ganassi running the GTLM and LM GTE entries, doesn't it?

This photoshop posted by Sportscar365 was done by C. Cristobal Jr., who is now the proud winner of one Internet.

I Need An Off-Road Porsche 911 In My Life
The best car in the 12 Hours of Sebring paddock wasn't one of the party trucks that wandered around with fans yelling "WOOOO" in the bed, or any kind of latest-and-greatest supercar. Nope. Not even close. It was this 1986 Porsche 911 jacked up on nubby tires with a million...
