    It will be interesting when the new Ford entry for the LMH Class comes to light. Just wait :)

    Fantastic vehicles. I have not put many miles on one in road driving....but these cars shine on the track!! Every owner should do at least 1 track day with the car to really feel what it is capable of! I was very impressed after lapping one.

    Toyota just announced their new LMH car with a 3.5-litre, twin-turbo V6 engine. That sounds familiar :)

    Very complex system that seems it would invite software/programming cheating. (unless it's a sealed/tamper proof ECU provided by organizer?)

    "670-hp 3.5-lt V6 driving the rear wheels, supplemented by a 268-hp electric motor sending power to the front axle. However, total output at any one time will be almost always limited to 670 hp, with certain scenarios dictating when and how much each power unit can contribute." :confused: o_O

    "Per the regulations, the car will rely solely on the internal combustion engine at speeds below 75 mph; beyond that point, the electric motor will deliver power to the front axle,
    while the V6 will reduce its power in kind, as the total output of the hybrid system can’t surpass 670 hp at any point except briefly to recharge the battery when it’s depleted."

    This was also mentioned at the Ford GT Forum and the consensus was that its “click bait”. No credible source to ascertain its validity.

    note you can do an easy ECU tune to get a lot more power out of these (standard NFGT) with the turbos. Im planning on doing mine when I get around to it.

    Interesting,I thought the factory ECUs were at their maximum limit. Let’s us know how much more power you get.

    oh there's plenty left... it voids the engine warranty but adding 100-200 hp is no big deal for that block and I never plan on selling it anyways. Im often floored and redlining it out so i could use the extra power.

    Tony Kanaan is selling his two year old, 15 mile car. Imagine that! Ford was so smart selling to people that only wanted to flip them. I wonder if any have real miles?

    I would imagine that Ford will benefit by not having to devote much money to warranty claims. Sounds like most cars will time out rather than mileage out.
