How the Ford Shelby GR-1 Works 【美系超級跑車Ford Shelby GR-1】

退休賽車好手卡羅爾‧謝爾比在1962年時,首度將美國福特車廠的V8引擎裝在輕巧的歐洲車款,打造了第一台Shelby Corba。四十多年後,謝爾比和福特再度合作,攜手推出Ford Shelby GR-1。

GR-1(全名為Group Racing 1)的車身底盤和懸吊系統是從Ford GT衍申而來,車型仿1964年的Shelby Corba Daytona Coupe,儘管外型復古,但威力十足,馬力超過600hp。

接下來,讓我們點閱http://auto.howstuffworks.com/ford-gr-one.htm,除了欣賞GR-1拋光鋁車身內的設計與配備,還要了解卡羅爾‧謝爾比為何能研發出這些數一數二的頂尖好車,以及一般民眾未來有沒有機會購買GR-1。



It was 1962 when former race car driver Carroll Shelby first dropped an American Ford V8 engine into a lightweight European car, creating the first Shelby Cobra. More than 40 years later, Shelby and Ford have joined forces once again to create the Ford Shelby GR-1.

Based on the chassis and suspension of the production Ford GT, the GR-1 (Group Racing 1) is a visual throwback to the 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, but it packs a modern punch with more than 600 horsepower.

In this article, we'll look beneath the GR-1's gleaming aluminum
body, learn why Carroll Shelby makes some of the best cars in the world and find out if Ford could actually make a production GR-1 available to the public.
