Now before you do anything drastic, they aren&#8217;t building any sort of &#8220;Camstang&#8221; abomination but more of a race track specific hypercar. Ford and Chevrolet wanted to put out an American hypercar in order to compete with such cars as the McLaren P1 and Aston Martin Vulcan.\u00a0This wouldn&#8217;t be the first time the Blue Oval teamed up with the Chevy Bow Tie. In 2013, the two came together to develop 9- and 10-speed transmissions, which marks the third time in the last decade they worked on gearboxes together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Z06 and GT have already been well received,\u201d said a source. \u201cThe idea is to bring both of those cars together into a single, track-only package to take on some of the competitors already on the market.\u201d With rumors of the Ford GT&#8217;s return to LeMans as well as whispers of a mid-engine Corvette, this sounds as if both rumors may actually come to fruition. As a Ford fan, upon hearing this information I was confused to say the least, but as an American, I am confident that these two manufacturers will put together one\u00a0heck of a track car to battle the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.boldride.com\/2015\/04\/ford-and-chevrolet-co-developing-track-only-hypercar\/74782\/\">Via <\/a>Boldride<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Ford and Chevy come together to make an all-American supercar to battle the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":13726,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3470],"tags":[39,413,43,2315,2316],"class_list":["post-13723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-chevrolet","tag-chevrolet-corvette","tag-ford","tag-ford-and-chevy-supercar","tag-ford-gt"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Ford-Chevy-Hypercar1.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p42YSK-3zl","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/42"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13723"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13723\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13731,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13723\/revisions\/13731"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
