But the car you see above was built specifically as the hero car for the upcoming film. It features 22-inch wheels housed in a wide body kit. Larger intakes, a larger and lower grille and intakes to help cool the brakes are also part of the custom build. There are also low-profile mirrors meant to reduce drag. There’s a supercharged V8 under the hood, but Ford didn’t say how much power it pumps out.
This is also the same car gamers will be able to drive in the Need For Speed Rivals video game. Yesterday, Ford and Ken Block released the sixth installment in Block’s popular Gymkhana drifting videos; also as a promotion for the game.
