Very neat! Nice to see Ford putting so much design into aerodynamics. ...even tho there is 700+ HP under the hood. (see sig)
Never seen kW used to describe heat energy, but apparently it's equal to 3400 BTU/hr.At wide-open throttle, the cooling system needs to extract up to 230 kilowatts of heat energy, enough to heat a dozen homes. The massive front brakes reject another 100 kilowatts of heat at maximum braking
So the GT500 cooling system can dissipate 780,000 BTU/hr !
Remind me not to follow GT500's at the track on a hot day.
