Press release...

Basically the Ford GT is a pure kind of sportscar, not necessary to be tuned…

But Wheelsandmore found out a better performance with a few useful modifications.

They designed a 21“ lightweight forged alloy rim with stainless steel outer rims and highgloss consolidated center, called „5Star“. Those wheels are coming in 9,0x21“ with 255/30/21 Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres on front and in 11,5x21“ with 315/35/21 on the rear axle. By using titanium screws as well the weight of those enormous wheels is even less to them serial.

With an ECU update, a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control and sport catalysts the power grew up to 608hp and 790 lb-ft. Unbelievable 710 hp and 840 lb-ft is offered by a bigger compressor, Wheelsandmore got on stock.

A stainless steel coil over suspension with compression and rebound adjustable shock absorbers completes this individual tuning.

Those are Gulf Livery colors, dude. IMO, the color scheme is uber-hawt.
