The Galpin Ford GTR1 is powered by a twin-turbo 5.4L V8 engine built onto the center of the frame. That’s a lot of power for a car of such moderate weight– inset in the aluminum shell is carbon fiber accents and components which shed curb weight to make the most of that double-turbo engine. All that speed is kept in check by 6-piston brakes with full carbon rotors, allowing for the proper deceleration to handle tight curves. Like the Ford GT40 that came before it, the Galpin Ford GTR1 is built for the racetrack, but intended for personal driving enjoyment. It’s street-legal and ready to stand-out on any road you wish to drive it on. Just handle it carefully, as with great power comes great responsibility. Ahh, who are we kidding– go wild, fellow driver. [via coolmaterial]
