just announced at the Detroit auto show. The P15 will have to be really something to top this, plus I get a dealer network!
Autoweek said:Rumors abound at the Detroit auto show
So, that Ford GT, pretty cool, eh? The new supercar generated huge interest at the Detroit auto show, and, according to our sources, it will be generating a lot of power and downforce on the track as soon as next year. It'll also be generating a lot of boost and heat, which leads us to the taillights.
You probably noticed they were hollow, just like the inside headlight on the new Dodge Challenger Hellcat. But why?
We've heard from at least two journalists that the wastegates vent through the taillights, but we've also heard they'll be used to vent hot air from the engine compartment. The area to the right of the light appears to be open and looks a little vent-y. In the image above, we can see what appears to be some kind of light mesh sitting behind the open area in the light. Either way, it's a cool detail. We'll head back over to the show in a few minutes for a closer look and post what we find this afternoon.
Update: We tracked down a couple of Ford designers and the vents pull air over the intercoolers. Not quite as zany as the other theories, but still cool.
