Time to start saving those pennies TG! :moneyman:
Jamal Hameedi has a dream.
As if he’s not already living in one.
The chief engineer of Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT), Jamal heads up a sort of skunkworks hidden in the depths of Dearborn that turns out the highest performance cars and trucks the company makes.
Those orange, flying F-150 Raptors? Yea, that was him.
The 2013 Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500 coupe and its 200 mph top speed? SVT’s hands are all over that one, too.
“We can do anything. Really, there’s no car in the Ford lineup that we couldn’t take a very novel and innovative approach to,” Hameedi tells FoxNews.com.
Even economy cars are not safe, as evidenced by the upcoming turbocharged Focus ST hot hatchback that SVT had more than a little involvement in.
But while that’s all well and good, what Jamal really wants to build is a supercar.
“My first car that I worked on at SVT was the Ford GT. So, me personally, I would love to do another car like that,” he says.
