Lookout OUSCI - - I'm going to order one and take the win in 2016!

Oh wait, I'm poor and can't drive......... ;)

In all seriousness, this thing looks amazing!

[BMR Sales]

Not sure of my opinion yet. The last GT looked so much like the original GT40 that you couldn't dislike it. This one is edgy & with an EcoBoost V-6.

[Flash68]

Looks tough. Too bad it sounds like my dang Duramax. :hitaxeonthehead:

No offense but a V6? Sorry not a fan here

[GregWeld]

My son, Alex, has money down on one already.

I loved the "repop" version of the GT40.... but this new one is almost as bad ass as the Porsche 918....

[fleet]

The V6 in the new Raptor and the V6 in this GT...

If people want a V6 fine, but at least make a V8 an option on these 2 halo vehicles, extra certification costs or not.

At the very same time they were debuting the V6 Ford GT & Raptor, they tweeted this out...

Why didn't this thing get the GT350s V8 with hair driers? Lame. This thing is gonna get sawed off by way too many cars to defend that engine choice- namely Z06s, GTRs, and Vipers. Forget bulls, horses, and angry things from Germany. I understand that all of them will be bought by guys who iron their jeans, but for a guy like me half the fun is the sound. This one's a miss.

The tree huggers that run Ford wanted a Ford GT EV.

They compromised.

[cpd004]

The Porsche 911 is within the Corvette's performance capabilities with a 6. I'm interested to see the real world performance numbers. I think they did a great job styling wise making something with the blue oval look exotic.

Greg,

I can't find the price what is the window on this car ?

TBD.... but he was told to expect mid 100's

[FaBrycation]

I love it. Can't wait to see the performance numbers but I think the new 600+ hp ecoboost V6 is an awesome setup.

[Blake Foster]

Cool Car good to see it come back, even if it is Irrelevant to all but a couple people on this board.

[GrabberGT]

I'd take that ecoboost setup and put it in the Mav in a heartbeat. Lightweight and more than enough power.

That's not bad. Now I wonder what it's going to do to the last models pricing.

[Vince@Meanstreets]

great looking car but that anaemic dash has the feel of an 88 Trans Am.

600hp v6 must sound incredible.

[JB400]

They should have brought back the toggle switches like the previous GT had.

The last Models are climbing - $300k range. Not bad for a $150k investment

Trust me I've been watching them. I almost purchased a repo'd one years ago but that another story for another time. Still makes me mad when i think about it.

Personally, I think that sounds awesome. Can't wait to see one in person!

[sik68]

I love this thing, and I understand they put a 3.5L Ecoboost because they want to race the 4.0L category in LeMans. They'd be crazy not to offer a v8!

Also, Tag Juechter, chief Corvette engineer, did say that the production version of the GT will have to look quite a bit different to meet crash standards. First of all, it will need bumpers.

Curious why he thinks that. The previous generation Ford GT looked almost identical to it's concept and didn't have significantly larger bumpers or anything.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if they offered a V8 version as well - like how the R8 comes with either the V8 or the V10. 600 HP for a flagship supercar is somewhat "average" considering what's available now.

[tones2SS]

Not sure of my opinion yet. The last GT looked so much like the original GT40 that you couldn't dislike it. This one is edgy & with an EcoBoost V-6.

Edgy is right.
Don't like the looks or the V6 "twin turbo". Like others have posted earlier,...they should have had an option if you wanted the V8. Same goes for the 2016/2017 Raptor. I LOVE the way the Raptor looks, but a V6?!? :rolleyes: No thanks.

[JsTA]

I read an article yesterday saying that because of EPA and CAFE standards Ford's lineup will be v8 free by like 2018. Including all trucks and top of the line Mustangs as well.

Don't blame Ford. Blame the out of control EPA/government.

[Lowfast]

The flat plane v8 would be cool but the 3.5 ecoboost is probably a better choice from a performance/weight standpoint. It is supposed to have over 600hp and the smaller engine I am sure lent itself to better packaging in the overall design. If the headers are properly configured it could still have a very mean exhaust note. My guess is that with simple tunes these things will be putting 700-800 to the wheels no problem. I am glad they skipped all the gimmicky hybrid crap and just went for a proper rear drive, mid engine platform. Keep it light and powerful. If is it around $150k it will be a bargain.

[J-440]

Looking at the rear of the car, it seems that with the "airflow gaps" for aero made the engine compartment more narrow than the previous GT. Would this be the reason for the 6 cylinder configuration? Also, that Ford V8 is as wide as an older HEMI. Would love to see where the turbos are stashed.

[lilcraigford]

I think a lot of people thrown by the styling were expecting more of an Mk1 GT40 shape. When I first saw pictures I scratched my head a little bit, especially over the cars proportions. Then this dawned on me:

http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/2841/1036073.jpg

http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/images/gallery/erba2012/29575.jpg

The road-going Mk3 GT40 suffered from the same issue. Clearly part of the GT40 bloodline but oddly proportioned. Compared to the Mk1/Mk2 the Mk3 looks "too long" due to lengthened rear and front overhangs as well as elongated headlights. Looking at the '05/'06 GT next to the '17 GT yields the same effect, for me at least. As Ford has moved away from full-blown retro with the Mustang, I wonder if the new GT took some subtle queues from the Mk3 as a way of evolving GT as a whole.

[GrabberGT]

I see the new GT as a road version of this with GT40 styling cues. The airfoils on the side of the GT disguise the teardrop shape some.

I don't - The Ford DP bodies look horrible compared to the Corvettes. They are almost Spec-cars with different front end treatments. I always thought the Ford DP should have looked like a GT40 Type IV.

Remember that next Year Ganassi is giving up the DP's to run a FGT in a lower class & will be taking it to LeMans

The Rear Lights are hollow and this allows them to be used as Heat Extractors!

[Lowfast]

The 2005 FGT's will always have a more classic and I think better aging appearance. To me those are still the ones to own. However, I like Fords new GT and it should pack tons of race bread technology. It would be awesome to see them take Lemans to celebrate the anniversary.

[Lowfast]

This one looks killer.
