Ford Performance has been keeping London under siege ever since the Goodwood Festival of Speed last month and it seems like they’re not willing to stop anytime soon.
Their latest feat has seen the 2017 Ford GT touring London. The machine was treated as if it were a toy car, being transported in a truck with a transparent cargo area. This was a campaign performed by an agency that is not at its first attempt of showcasing a car in such a way. People seemed to love the concept, which shows they knew what they were doing.
The only thing we’re sorry for is that the GT couldn’t speak to the crowds. Which reminds us of the last time we wrote about Ford’s supercar taking on the British capital. Last time we talked about this, the GT had its badges covered, with passers-by being asked about the brand of the car.
Ford was asked why it didn’t bring the EcoBoost to life and they simply relied they “weren’t allowed to” [by the mothership].
London may just ban supercar revving
Perhaps they should do it while they can. After all, London might just ban supercar revving on its streets. After a part of the city’s vast supercar population has started disturbing the city more and more with its engine noises, the Kensington and Chelsea's council are considering various ways of bringing the volume down.
One proposal would make a criminal offense out of revving, playing loud music or violently accelerating. Nevertheless, since it’s extremely difficult to draw a line between such actions and various situations that can occur during normal driving, the lawmakers have plenty of details to discuss.
