Traxxas 4TEC 2.0 Ford GT
#83056–6, Est. $300
Due March 2017

MADE TO BE DRIVEN

The new Ford GT captured the world’s attention with its unique, aerodynamically optimized shape, its extraordinarily powerful 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine, and a historic return after 50 years to win the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. Innovation abounds and everything about the Ford GT is designed to deliver pure performance.

Traxxas has captured the Ford GT in a stunning 1/10 scale replica that is faithful to the beautiful and functional styling of the incredible flying buttress design. Every detail is there including the taillights and exhaust tips. Built to be driven, this Ford GT replica rests on the Traxxas 4-Tec™ 2.0 chassis that’s all-new from the ground up.

INNOVATION

The Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 AWD Chassis combines insightful design touches with precision engineering to create a thoroughly modern platform. No aspect was overlooked. It’s not just our most adjustable chassis ever; it’s built to be driven!

DETAILS

Look underneath the sleek and artful Ford GT body to reveal the individual design details that make the 4-Tec 2.0 chassis so rewarding. Traxxas examined every detail in order to create a dynamic, high-tech vehicle that is as easy to operate as it is exciting to drive.
