Estimated targets 450Kw @ 5800 rpm , 800Nm @ 2600 rpm. A 380kw @5250 rpm version may be provided as a engine for limos, boats and aircraft.

Removing spare tyre, adding 40L fueltank in depression, 100L total. Upgraded brakes, Carbon fiber front guards, bonnet, boot. 380mm front brakes.

If your going to make something, make it unique. A 8.0L V12 four door sedan would be unique.
A Sainty motor that only makes 450kw would be pretty unique :
Why the hell would you get a V12 "made" with such low targets, you could make more that that with an I6. You give Sainty a call and see what they reckon.

Im a very conservative man. They are figures I can be confident would easily meet EURO IV emissions, noise levels etc. Obviously as a motor for motorsport, or a forced fed engine upper limits are extremely high. You could imagine some kitcar manufacturers (world wide) would be interested in a high tech 8.0L V12 to build cut price Veyron competitors or in open classes.

Yep. It'd be smaller, lighter, easier to modify, would be able to be taken out to 440ci (7.2l), and would rip the mod motor a new lifter bore :P

Yep, Would also guzzle 40L per 100Klm, never make current emissions laws, and would probably require a service and tune every 1000Klm............LOL

i'd like to see the GTHO with the 6.2L naturaly aspirated with the 317kw. It wouldn't hurt it to lose 200kilos.

theirs no point ford bringing out a GT HO and stuffing it up. for example ford re-released ESP's on the BF range and they were a flop there was nothing like the orignal XD- XE ESP of the 80's. I know there nathing like the HO but FORD could of spent some more time on devloping and marketing the BF ESP and they woulda sold some. or even make them unique/differnt from the standard models

They just canned the Lane and LTD what makes you think they are going to do a GT-HO.

While Screwby still has cred that is.
