The Fastest Car in the World, Ford GT, Gas Monkey, Double Noise
Many think that competition cars are the fastest cars in the world and they are right, but the final speed is still something relative, since the objective is to maintain a fast lap and win the race.
However, one of these racing cars reached impressive speed and is being considered the fastest racing car in the world, this being a 2006 Ford GT.
The Ford GT in question has been owned by Johnny Bohmer since 2006 and has long been one of the fastest road legal cars in the world. In fact, Bohmer originally bought it zero/km from the Ford dealership with the intention of breaking the 300 mph (482 km/h) barrier. It's gone through a number of modifications over the years, and while it's unclear exactly how much power it currently has, there's no denying this car is an absolute beast.
Sure, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ may have been faster than any other standard production car before it (reaching 304.7 mph or 490.4 km/h in 2019), but straight up, this 2006 Ford GT it's even faster.
Nicknamed "BADD GT", Bohmer's GT participated in a speed event, sponsored by Gas Monkey Garage, at the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida, where NASA's T38 Talon escort jets and other, let's say, special aircraft were also present. .
The Kennedy Space Center runway was designed and built by NASA for the Space Shuttle Program. The track has a tolerance of less than 6mm end-to-end height difference. During the design and creation of the 4,572-meter runway, NASA had to compensate for the Earth's curvature to ensure the flattest surface possible.
Initially, the car was prepared to test a new FT600 model ECU from the Brazilian company FuelTech, which was recently installed in the car.
Bohmer quickly reached high speeds in excess of 400 km/h and began testing the ECU and competition remapping package for a more accurate assessment. The car was performing so well during testing that Bohmer decided to step on the gas for real! When finished, the car reached an extraordinary speed of 310.8 mph (500.1 km/h). That makes it the fastest road-legal car in the world. According to the pilot, the 2006 GT can support another 500 or 700 horses, in addition to the original 550 and more than those already loaded outside, reaching an incredible 2,700 horses.
Well-prepared compared to the factory Ford GT, Bohmer's 2006 GT is road-legally certified, has a license plate and valid insurance, which makes it even more special.
It's the fastest road car Americans can see on the country's roads and that's really impressive when you know Bohmer takes it seriously. This isn't just a stripped-down race car. Bohmer's Ford GT has a working air conditioning system, power windows and a stereo. He regularly drives near his home in Florida and even uses it to drive his kids to school. Yes, this is a 500 km/h Ford GT built in 2006 that works perfectly as a street car.
