The person who conceived the idea for the creation of such a beast from German tuning company, GeigerCars must have been an avid reader of the Incredible Hulk comic series.
The Ford GT is already big,brash and American. And with a green lick of paint and a heavily tuned V8 engine that packs a brutal punch of 779bhp, it's certainly the automotive equivalent to the enraged giant.
Unfortunately, the vehicle pictured is no longer: it was wrecked on the Autobahn by Geiger's own test-driver at 174mph. He obviously didn't take heed to the audible warning heard upon firing-up the beast: "You won't like me when I'm angry".
One might criticise the team at GeigerCars for ruining the GT and transforming it from Le-Mans racing legend, to garish green tuner car more suited to the cover of Speed & Sound magazine than on the track alongside high-powered Bently touring cars and the like.
But the aesthetics are outshone by the GTs phenomenal performance stats.
The immense power increase is attributed-mostly-to the installation of a larger supercharger.Geiger's unit forces more air into the combustion chamber, boosting power and levels of torque.
The result is an increase in power of 229bhp and raises the torque figure from 500lb ft to 637lb ft.
The GeigerCars Ford Gt rockets from 0-100 in a mere 3,6 seconds.
Entry into and exit from the already tight cabin is made more difficult, as the suspension has been lowered by 60mm.
It's a measure taken to improve the cars handling, but means that your female passenger would never be able to sport her favourite skirt when riding in this green chariot.
The engine sound isn't as aurally-pleasant as the original, unmolested V8 and has been described by Geiger as "bloodcurdling".
If you posses 212 639 GBP and seek exclusivity on the roads, then the Geiger GT is for you.
Keep your eyes peeled for modified Escorts and Cortinas inspired by this shocking green fast Ford.
