Road-legal Ford GT reaches record speed of 500 km/h on the runway (4 photos + 1 video)
This news is incredible. Just to think that it's not so much anymore young Ford GT 2006 can reach speeds of up to 500 km / h, overtaking various Bugatti, Koenigsegg and Hennessey. This modified Ford still approved for road use. 
Johnny Bohmer Proving Ground owner Johnny Bohmer set a new world speed record for licensed cars ordinary roads. His Ford GT, powered by bioethanol 1900-strong "biturbo-eight", accelerated to 500 kilometers per hour, improving the achievement of the hypercar SSC Tuatara (474.76 kilometers per hour). Despite the insane power, Bomer uses the machine for daily trips for children to school and on business. 
It's funny that Bomer just wanted to test the control unit FuelTech FT600 and new traction control, so I didn’t clean it until the last foot off the gas pedal. Speed was measured using a telemetry kit Racelogic VBox Performance Box Touch, four Garmin Virb action cameras Ultra 30, FuelTech unit and Racepak speedometer, summarized data from which showed that a supercar with a sponsored livery Gas Monkey Garage accelerated to a fantastic 500.1 kilometers per hour. 
At the same time, the first generation Ford GT, nicknamed the Badd GT, can go on ordinary roads, and Bomer often takes children to school. The car is driven by an aluminum "eight" with two turbochargers, developing about 1900 horsepower and 2240 Nm torque. 
Thrust to the rear axle goes through a custom six-speed “mechanics”, and accelerating dynamics dvuhdverki envy even hypercars. Up to 60 miles hour (97 km/h) Badd GT accelerates in 2.5 seconds to 100 mph (160.9 km / h) - in 5.3 seconds.
