Re: The new Ford GT
Oh, further more, that 'EcoBoost' 3.5L V6 uses the same block from the Duratec V6, which is also originated from the Mondeo V6 introduced in 1993.
The Aston Martin's V12 can also traced it roots back to the Mondeo/Duratec V6. Ford mated 2 3.0L version of that block to create the 6.0L V12 for Aston Martin.
And yes, I like to really technical when I try to differentiate whether an engine is consider unique or just a variant of another.
