The Ford GT is arguably one of the most exciting supercar->ke177 the American industry had to offer over the last decade. It drew inspiration from the iconic GT40 race car of the 1960s, it had enough power to blast from naught to 60 mph in less than four seconds, and it had successful track appearances at the 24 Hours of Le Mans->ke1591 and the FIA GT3 European Championship. Granted, the GT had everything it needed to live beyond 2006, its final year on the market, but Ford->ke31 decided otherwise. A successor is rumored to be in the works as we speak, but with the Blue Oval still mum on the details, all we can do is keep our fingers crossed the GT moniker will return once again.

Fortunately enough, we can do that without depriving us of any GT action. The first-gen supercar is still active in 2014, mainly thanks to tuning shops such as Hennessey Performance->ke1863 and Lambda Performance. While the former is still meddling with turbo updates for the supercar, the latter is busy refining its GT3-spec race car.->ke148 M2K Motorsports is another shop that joined the ranks of those still putting the GT to good use by developing a very powerful version for the Texas Mile. Much like Hennessey, M2K ditched the standard supercharger for a twin-turbo unit, but the two are quite different when it comes to horsepower. Hennessey's GT is no slouch with 1,000 ponies at its disposal, but M2K took turbocharging to a whole new level, one that boasts more than 2,000 horses at the crank.

With that much oomph sent to the wheels, the Gulf-liveried GT managed to reach a top speed of 273 mph at the Texas Mile. That's more than what the Bugatti Veyron->ke1112 is capable of and an outstanding feat, even for a heavily modified car. As you might have already guessed, this supercar is not just fast, but it sounds incredible as well, and we have just the right video->ke278 as proof. Hit the play button above to watch it put a full 1,894 horsepower to the rear wheels on the dyno.
