if that car was all stainless steel it would need 600hp just to move the damn thing...

This is the 2007 Ford Shelby GR1 concept car. If Ford decides to put it into production, potential buyers can expect to pay around $200,000 for it. The entire exterior of the car is polished aluminum, and it has liquid cooled LED headlights.

There was more to the email! I didn't see this part. So that is what the car is, it also has a v-10 in it.

no, the V10 has been around for a while now sitting on shelves in the back of Ford's plant. It started off in the concept Boss Mustang a few years ago, but that project was scrapped... Ford wanted something "big/huge/exciting" to put the new V10 in...
It was slid back into a late model mustang for some heavy testing before heading for the Cobra Concept...and now the Shebly GR-1.
(not sure if it carries any resemblance to the HD V10 found in some of Ford's new pickups)

Polishing the entire outside of the car is a stupid idea IMO, but whatever I guess.

The Ford GT motor on the other hand...
That is an Aluminum 5.4L DOHC topped with the larger Eaton Blower (M112 I beleive it is)...

The actual motor isn't used in any of FoMoCo's other cars, but it's a bears a close resemblance to the Iron 5.4L DOHC in the later Navigators.

you're point?
hell we've got a V10 in the new F550 under our new fire truck...
find them in quite a few of the new heavier duty fords...

but like I said, I don't know if that V10 shares any characteristics with the V10 used in the GR-1

[Raider]

the 6.8l v-10 from Ford is a POS motor...and no its not the same one that is used in the GR-1

okay, so the 'performance V10' is a smaller displacement motor. Was wondering if it shared the block atleast... guess not.

What's wrong with the 6.8L V10? Granted it doesn't have the power/torque of the Diesels....

[Raider]

Ford has had many concept cars with a v-10...here is the 427 v-10 concept
