GeigerCars, a German company based in Munich, specialises in modifying US built cars to make them even better.
The latest example of its handiwork is the Ford GT Geiger HP 790, which has been given a little more juice – 176 kW. The Ford GT Geiger HP 790 is still powered by the stock 5,4-litre V8 engine but has received a new 4,0-litre compressor, instead of the standard 2,3-litre, increasing pressure to 1.25 bars. The Ford GT Geiger HP 790 also comes with larger throttle valves, a sports air filter, revised engine and gear cooling systems and a re-programmed ECU. Creating overall power figures of 581 kW at 6 320 rpm and 863 N.m of torque at 4 600 rpm.
The top speed of the Ford GT Geiger HP 790 is a reckless 360 km/h and the car sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in a scant 3.6 seconds, to 200 km/h in 6 seconds and to 300 km/h in 22.8 seconds.
The Ford GT Geiger HP 790 pricing hasn’t been announced yet but this sort of neck-snapping performance won’t come cheap. Certainly in terms of out-right performance the Ford GT Geiger falls within the supercar league, but does this make it a supercar – what do you think?
