The 1970 Ford Torino GT had a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 6.0 seconds. This impressive acceleration was achieved with the help of the powerful engines available for the Torino GT, including the 429 Cobra Jet. The quarter-mile time for the Torino GT was approximately 14.4 seconds at a speed of 100.2 mph.
The Torino GT was the sporty/high trim model of the Torino lineup and came equipped with various performance features, such as a non-functional hood scoop, dual-color keyed racing mirrors, and full-width taillights with a honeycomb effect. It was available with different engine options, including the 429 Cobra Jet, which contributed to its impressive acceleration.
It’s worth noting that the Torino GT was part of the third generation of Torinos, which was produced from 1972 to 1976. However, the specific information about the 0-60 mph time mentioned above refers to the 1970 model year.
I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
