It sounds evil and mighty but this is one of the most wanted street racing car. Many interesting facts are related with it and our sympathies for it grew even on the same day it was introduced lately last year. But let’s put the performances aside, we already know what the light weight 5.2-liter flat V8 engine can does with its 526HP and 429lb-ft of torque, but there is even more marvelous technology related with it.
You would never guess that Ford is in collaboration with NASA and this technological giant stands behind the technology of the new carbon-fiber wheels! Each wheel weighs 18 pounds and reduces 60 pounds of the unsprung power which is really amazing but also drops in 40 percents of the rotational inertia.
Just to know this fact: Actually this advanced carbon-fiber wheels are product of Carbon Revolution of Australia.
As Ford claims, these wonder wheels are built to meet every standards and pass all tests, even the most precise one with CT technology. Also the wheels are protected from all outside impacts like the salt in winter and the UV degradation in the hottest summer days. The inside wheel barrels are made to resist at 900 Celsius degrees or 1652 Fahrenheit degrees thanks to the advanced engineering which allows reducing of the maximum wheel temperature. Is this enough only for wheels which are paired with MagneRide electrical suspension? We bet it is!
