Ford GT tweaked to 900hp

Camilo Pardo, the chief designer for the Ford GT project teamed up with Heffner Performance, and the team powered up the beast to a monstrous 900hp. The special edition car got a racing-inspired paint job, flat-back BBS wheels, a new rear bumper, T&A shocks, lowering springs and Brembo Caliper graphics. Most of the power gain comes from Heffner’s twin turbo system.

With its mighty engine, the car can go to a top speed of 200mph in under 19 seconds. With so many positives to boast of, it’s no wonder that the car sold out moments after it was revealed.

Built around the philosophy of being an active commuting car as an urban transportation tool the S-Ride is devised mainly at replacing the motorcycle as the choice of popular transport vehicle among the younger generation. The mini-car combines enjoyment with practicality with its aluminum outer shell housing two compact but comfortable seats and a rear mounting engine to add to its sporty feel. Though still in its development phase, the Suzuki S-Ride concept car also suggest a possible incorporation of telematics in its working scheme of things not so far in the future which shall be an added attraction for its target consumers.
