You didn’t expect to see a tuned header? Well, tuned headers are good for maximizing fuel economy and not just power.
The plastic valve cover appears to have some kind of internal baffles. Maybe it’s to minimize oil flow out of the PCV system? Ford uses a micro polish process on the cam buckets to reduce friction.
The other part of the powertrain is this 64kW motor/generator combo. There are 746 watts per horsepower, so that’s about 86hp, or enough power to accelerate and cruise at highway speeds with no issue.Ford had a lot going on in its booth showing off its different methods of powering cars. Many of those ways to power cars is to go fast. The new Ford Raptor should be an absolute monster. Add a few upgrades and it’ll be a monster on steroids. As for the Ford GT? It has already won the 24 Heures du Mans. We will have to wait and see how the production version does on the street once the magazines get a hold of it.
