Production of the Ford GT may have ended in 2006, but the American supercar->ke177 is still roaming the streets and charging the tracks in 2014. After many successful racing seasons throughout its production years and after, the race-spec GT is still alive and kicking, thanks to a number of companies, with one of them being Lambda Performance.

Still racing GT3-spec versions of the Ford GT, the German outfit had a successful ADAC GT Masters campaign in 2013, when it won three events. The Ford GT faced stiff competition from newer vehicles like the Corvette Z06.R, the Porsche 911 GT3 and the Audi R8 LMS Ultra, and famous teams such as Callaway->ke19, Abt->ke1753 and Phoenix Racing.

To achieve these impressive results, Lambda performed many modifications to the GT, consisting of an updated, race-spec gearbox, an in-house designed air box, an updated suspension, some electronic mods and new wheels. A Lambda, design aerodynamic package was also fitted, while the stock, supercharged, 5.4-liter V-8 was replaced by a race-optimized unit. Naturally, Lambda used a Roush Yates, 5.3-liter V-8, a mill that has a proven racing record to its name and generates 575 horsepower in the Ford GT.

Although Lambda Performance is no longer racing in the ADAC GT Masters as of the 2014 season, its GT GT3 remains an awesome track machine. Its unique appearance and distinguished sound are surely missed in Germany and the video above comes to show you why. Can you name a race car that sounds as enthralling as the Ford GT? The comments section is all yours.
