Ford GT Race Car Undergoes Testing, Sounds Nasty: Video

The 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans can't come fast enough. There, the Ford GT will return to the famed French racing circuit.

Back in 1966, Ford took its GT40 race car over there and whopped on Ferrari's behind. It then did the same thing for the next three years.

The 2016 race will mark the 50 year history of this wonderful motorsports victory. Ford is clearly getting ready to go for the win, and the automaker is doing so with a rather excellent machine in the all-new Ford GT race car.

Ford's up in Canada testing its new track weapon, and the sound its as producing is quite entertaining. This isn't full-song type noise, but the popping, whirring, whistling, and growling we're getting from the video above should serve as a tasty appetizer before the main full-throttle course.

All of that noise comes courtesy of a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine. Most expect the power output to wind up in the 600 horsepower range, and we can't wait to learn more about all of the aerodynamic intricacies of the car.

We also can't wait to see that red, white, and blue livery blasting down the Mulsanne straight.
