The new Ford Probe GTP was built in Germany, in the Zakspeed shop in
Niederzissen, and was powered by a turbocharged four cylinder powerplant. The car had been assembled in order to be able to be quickly and efficiently serviced, yet it needed to be sorted out.
Designed by Zakspeed's Paul Brown, the car was sleek and was introduced to IMSA GTP racing in May 1985, at Laguna Seca.
The Probe was very fast,but they were pulling 600 horsepower out of it's 2.1 liter 4 cylinder engine and they kept melting pistons.It won one race at Laguna Seca,and lead many more,but failed to finish.
Competitor of Vette and Jaag GTP we have published previously. On Daytona 1987 was 3 seconds slower then Vette GTP and 962, and two sec then XJR-7.
Transmission: Hewland VG5 5-speed manual
Weight: 1,770 lb (803 kg)
Tyres: Goodyear Race
Pack contains 11 skins

It's a blast to drive this old GTP around! What I'm hoping for is next you make a better Toyota Eagle Mk III GTP. The mod currently out, which was made by another team, is not fun to drive so I was hoping your version could be better. This is of course up to you, but I'd just love to see your take on the GTP that brought the downfall of the IMSA GTP championship. Keep up the great work!
