On this episode of Ignition presented by Tire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com), we drive Ford’s spectacular new 216-mph GT. With a 647hp turbocharged V-6 engine, carbon-fiber bodywork, and active aerodynamics, the new GT brings state-of-the-art race car technology to the road. Angus MacKenzie finds out if it really is the spiritual successor to the legendary Le Mans–winning GT40.

Ignition appears every other Monday on the Motor Trend Youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/motortrend
