Classic Continuation —— Appreciation of American Muscle Super Run Ford GT Model

Hello, everyone, I'm a little model. I love photography, car modeling and life. I hope like-minded friends can learn from each other here. This issue of Car will take you to appreciate the American muscle supercar Ford GT model.

Ford Motor Company is one of the world famous automobile companies. Its founder is Henry Ford. The company was founded in 1903, and it has been more than one hundred years. 19 13, Ford Motor Company developed the world's first assembly line, which made the number of T-cars reach150,000, creating an unprecedented world record. The logo of Ford Motor Company is Ford in English, with white characters on a blue background. Because Henry Ford, the founder, likes small animals, the logo designer designed the English Ford to look like a running white rabbit in order to cater to Ford's hobby. Just like in the warm nature, a lively and lovely white rabbit gallops forward smartly, symbolizing that Ford cars gallop around the world. Ford has many brands, not only Ford, but also Lincoln, Mercury, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Mazda, Volvo and Land Rover. Among them, Jaguar and Land Rover have been sold to India's Tata, Mazda has reduced its shareholding, Volvo has been sold to Geely Group and Aston Martin has also been sold. Mercury series discontinued.

Ford has always been remembered as producing civilian cars, but there is one unique model, that is, Ford GT, which is a real super sports car! The name of GT can be traced back to the 1960s, when Ford originally planned to acquire Ferrari and enter the super sports car market. At that time, Ferrari was not in such a position as it is now. However, just before the transaction was completed, Ferrari temporarily broke the contract. This is not only a blow to Ford's ambition, but also an insult to its brand. As a result, Ford was very angry and decided to cooperate with carroll shelby and vowed to build a super sports car that Ferrari could not match. Therefore, Ford GT40, an unshakable American supercar in the United States, has the opportunity to be born and the stage to perform. Ford GT became a legend in just four years, forcing Ferrari out of Le Mans (prototype group) and switching to Formula One, which was remembered by the world. The positioning of Ford GT model is not an ordinary family car. In the past few decades, there has been no new model. Only in 2005 and 2006, a number of limited edition supercars were produced to commemorate the Ford GT40, and their appearance was basically the same as that of the GT40. Just when everyone thought that GT would be a thing of the past, in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the predecessor Ford GT40 winning the first Le Mans 24 Hours in 1966, Ford rebuilt this classic model. In 20 15, Ford released a new generation of Ford GT in north american auto show, which continued the classic.

The appearance of the new Ford GT completely inherits the American muscle style of GT40, with angular lines and extremely flat body, ready to explode at any time. At the same time, many modern elements are added to the design, which is full of science and technology.

The front face is very aggressive, and the wide and flat car head is like an angry snake and beast, warning people.

Headlights have undergone a brand-new design, with a more slender shape and a changed internal structure. There are two matrix LED headlights and two layers of LED daytime running lights, and the futuristic feeling is very sci-fi.

The shape of the front completely inherits the design of the classic GT40. The two' nostrils' facing the sky are not only to imitate the classic shape, but also a part of the aerodynamics of the whole vehicle, which can guide the airflow coming from the front of the vehicle to the rear of the vehicle and increase the downforce for the vehicle.

As a super sports car, the way to open the door is of course different. Opening the butterfly door is simply a beautiful scenery.

Five gun gray wheels are concise and capable, and large-size perforated carbon ceramic brake discs and red brembo calipers stand out. The front wheel specifications are 245/35 ZR20 and the rear wheel specifications are 325/30 ZR20.

The side is particularly slender and angular, and the front and rear of the car account for a large part of the car body, which is full of the characteristics of American muscle models.

Through holes on both sides of the car body guide air from front to back, reducing wind resistance and increasing downforce, which is an aerodynamic design.

The rear of the car has undergone a brand-new design, and the hollow shape is very unique. The taillights still maintain the classic round lamp shape.

The flat tail is very tense, the middle turbine is exhausted, and the double output is full of momentum. Super-running also needs to lift the tail, which can provide downward pressure or braking force as needed.

The carbon fiber air diffuser at the bottom is very exaggerated, giving a very strong visual impact.

The new Ford adopts the power layout of the center rear drive, and the engine adopts the ECOBOOST 3.5V6 twin-turbo engine with the maximum power of 600 HP, matching the 7-speed powershift, and will re-participate in the Le Mans race.

I got this model for less than 200 yuan, and sold it at a low price because the last one said there were scratches on the body. After I got it, the scratches were simply marked with wax, so the positioning of this cost-effective model is also entry-level. As can be seen from the price, the model ratio is 1: 18, which is divided into normal version and hardcover version. This is a hardcover edition. From the overall appearance, the shape is basically accurate, but the suspension posture of the car body is high and it doesn't feel like flying on the ground. The whole vehicle adopts alloy body, but the weight is not very heavy, which may be because the chassis and carbon fiber are surrounded by plastic parts. Let's take a look at the performance of this model with pictures.

The shape of the whole vehicle is relatively accurate, but the posture is high. I'll study it when I have time and lower the suspension. After all, the car has a low cover.

The model is also a standard four-opening design, which also restores the opening mode of the butterfly door of the real car.

The paint of the whole model is good, metallic paint, smooth and gorgeous, and the sharpness of the edges is acceptable.

Headlights are also very textured. The two rectangular light groups are made of acrylic material, unlike many models that are painted carelessly, which is absolutely amazing for headlights.

The gap is well controlled, though not too small, but relatively even.

The wheel hub is better, painted gun gray and metallic, with perforated brake discs inside. And the red calipers are very realistic.

The basic shape of the tail is accurate, but the details are still poor, such as the taillights with strong plastic feeling, exhaust and closed tail cooling holes. If you can refine it a little, the texture can be improved a lot.

After opening the rear engine cover, the bathtub engine really feels slow in plastic and lacks texture in carbon fiber, but the price is there after all.

The tail of integration, of course, is fixed and cannot be lifted.

Interior, although the hardcover version has been refined, but only color separation, black and white color matching, no flocking, details are still lacking, a strong sense of plastic.

To sum up, this model is set at around 200, which is still very cost-effective. The shape and details are acceptable, and the model is a very good choice. If you pursue details and have sufficient funds, you can buy AA GT.

The next model car brings you 1:24 Porsche GT3. What is the performance of the small-scale model? Stay tuned.
