Ford GT40 CHALLENGE | Top Gear - Part 1

Part 1 of 2: Jeremy falls in love with the Ford GT, despite the fact he can barely fit in it. It's an improvement on the GT40 though, which he couldn't get in at all! The extra three inches makes all the difference.

[@hendo337]

The only things the GT and the Lightning engines have in common are the 5.4L displacement, bore spacing and they both use a supercharger. GT has a completely different and extremely stronger aluminum block instead of iron. GT has much higher flowing 4 valve heads instead of garbage 2 valve heads. The GT has a much better supercharger design. The best things to compare the engine in that GT to were the 2000 Cobra R with the 5.4L 4V engine, the 2003-04 Terminator Cobra with a supercharged 4.6L 4V or maybe the 5.4L 4V Navigator or Australian Ford engines.

[@MaximRecoil]

"GT has a completely different and extremely stronger aluminum block instead of iron." Aluminum blocks aren't stronger than iron blocks at all, let alone "extremely stronger." Aluminum is often used for high-performance engine blocks because it's much lighter than iron for a given volume and it's a better thermal conductor, not because it's stronger (engine block grade cast iron is _way_ stronger than any grade of aluminum alloy). Fortunately, engine blocks don't have to be made of a particularly strong material, because they are a non-moving, relatively unstressed part, though they do have to line the cylinder bores with iron sleeves.

Because the engine was taken from a Ford pickup truck. Pickup trucks are considered real work trucks here in the US. They are used by contractors from construction workers, to plumbers, to painters, to cleaners, to electricians.... and alot of other "blue collar" jobs that carry stuff needed to accomplish such jobs. So you can say that the heart of a blue collar workers truck is part of this car. A pride for blue collar folks like saying... "hey, that car has an engine that can be found in my truck!"

Watching it in 2021 is really...nostalgic

[@rivercityracer3683]

However many years later, and these Ford GT's are still undisputed speed kings that have repeatedly broken their own standing mile records, the last of which was just over 300 miles per hour - from a standstill to one mile. Oh yeah, screw the sound editor too. 👍

"EXACTLY THE SAME ENGINE FOUND IN THE FORD LIGHTNING" .........except it's an all aluminum block with dual overhead camshafts 5.4L vs a lightning cast iron block with single overhead cams 5.4L. Oh yeah, they also have different superchargers. But hey, they must be exactly the same because they share displacement size...

[@chaytonruijsenaars3971]

+Martin Obregon they stopped making blocks entirely out of cast iron like 30 years ago, all aluminum or with steel sleeves or whatever. I'm no car expert but i can tell you that much

[@Sheehy223]

Exactly, it's like comparing the 4.6L V8 you'd find in a Mustang GT to the aluminum block 32 Valve 4.6L V8 found in the Mustang Cobra. Just because they have the same displacement doesn't mean they're even remotely similar.

[@timothybayliss6680]

+Chayton Ruijsenaars all ford trucks with a v8 had iron blocks until the coyote 5.0l. (2011) unless you count a Lincoln aviator or some explorers. Mopar 5.7 hemi blocks are iron and about half of GM's current ls series of v8 blocks are iron. when I say iron I mean iron. a single casting that bolts screw into and the pistons ride on. no sleeves, no helicoils, one piece iron casting like they've been doing in Detroit since 1929. the 5.4l in the lightning and gt share crankshafts, a ton of ancillary hardware, primary camshaft drive (the dohc has secondary chains to drive the intake cams) the blocks are not interchangeable without some very slight modifications to either. you could take the dohc heads and bolt them to the iron block in the truck, there is enough factory hardware to get the swap to work. they are not identical, they are really similar. or like he said "pretty much exactly the same".

[@mobregonjr]

+Tim Bayliss "similar" and "exactly the same" are two totally different things. He said the block comes from the Ford Lightning, which it does not. They are different not only in build material but in design. The only reason parts interchange is because ford decided to do it that way to make it easier to retool their factory and produce multiple engine configurations. All modular engines have interchangeable components but that doesn't make them the same engine. Let me give you an example. The triton V10 modular components will also interchange with a 4.6L v8 2v modular. Does that mean the work truck V10 is the exact same engine as a mustang v8. Or "pretty much the exact same engine." as you put it. No....

[@Icutmetal]

+Chayton Ruijsenaars That is 100% incorrect!

gahhh i hope jeremy does a review on the new ford gt!!!!

[@MrVictoryfilms]

Love the GT. Phil Hill was a winning GT-40 driver in the 60's at LeMan and was involved in the developement of the Ford GT.

Ford vs Ferrari, everyone?

[@keilaw4423]

Just saw the movie, it takes some liberties with the facts, but Damon and Bale turned in great performances. I didn't want the movie to end because I knew it would be with Ken Miles passing....

[@benjaenke9539]

I love his comments about the steering when it's the same rack they used in the focus 😂

[@MaximRecoil]

All rack and pinion steering mechanisms are pretty much the same (it's fundamentally just a gear rack meshed with a pinion gear; extremely simple mechanism). The difference in steering feel between a Ford GT and a Focus or any other modern economy car comes from the tires, suspension, chassis stiffness, center of gravity location, and weight distribution.

[@mrderekholmberg]

Ford GT = One of my personal top favorites as well. Make a bloody great daily driver!

[@CWINDOWSsystem32]

Both the video and sound editing were terrible. Mid 2000s trends, I guess...

[@cptnoremac]

+CWINDOWSsystem32 I remember watching the full episode years ago and it didn't have this problem. Whoever condensed it to 6 minutes probably screwed it up.

[@jari56ify]

It's KZbin, you fuckstick. It's only a problem on KZbin...goddamn bunch of idiots.
