Ford has lost their minds putting a V6 in it.

no kidding, I don't care if it has 10 million hp- I don't want a v-6 nothing in a musclecar/supercar

Would that prevent you from buying a 911 Turbo?

Ford says at least 600HP, the last time they said 'at least 600HP" it was the GT500 which ended up with 662HP. I'd be surprised if this doesn't push that number or more, with full CF, weight and engine choice could put this at 3,000 or less.

To me this is a 100% shot at Ferrari, I mean if you didn't know who made it I guarantee we'd have Ferrari on the top 3 possibilities, look at that interior as well, the whole thing could be a new Ferrari model, and Ford is going racing with this. We've been speculating about the flat plane going in it, but this combo will yield more power (flat plane is looking like 550ish), light weight & be mod friendly. Very exciting. Only thing I'm concerned about is the price.

Exactly, this thing is gonna be 700 hp. They're aiming at the 458 successor as well.

It's beautiful, but a V-6? Really? I don't get it.

600 hp Twin turbo v6

If the car is say 2500# it will be a monster. Then there's tuning, after market parts, bigger turbos etc.

It's a good time to be a car guy no matter which brand has your allegiance!

I also think it's gorgeous, defines exotic.

I haven't read any claim as to vehicle weight. With a V6, and carbon fiber, it would be something if they can get the weight under 3G's. Otherwise, it will be "just" another beautiful sports car with a pricetag north of 250G's.

I really like it. If I had to pick the areas I don't like, its the lower sides and the lower front bumper, but overall it is really, really great. Its taking the GT40 and GT design cues ten steps further, something a supercar should do.

I've thought for a long time, despite my appreciation for the Viper haha, that a V6 with turbos is the ideal powerplant for a street car. I hope this car goes on to prove that it can perform well. I'll certainly miss the awesome sound of a V8 coming out of this car, but hopefully it makes some nice music in a new way.

Wow, that is pretty radical.....Ford obviously decided to go revolution instead of evolution on the design. Should be called the La Ford, lol.

My friend is there and texted me the new track day version of the Mustang.....500 lbs lighter, carbon fiber wheels, etc. Ford is going to help push Dodge and GM to the next level of performance.

And they announced a new Ford Raptor as well. Ford is knocking it out of the park right now!

[daytonprowler]

WOW!

[Junkie]

I love it. I dislike the TT V6 and DCT.

[Thawk97]

It's no Viper, but it looks beautiful (revealed at Detroit - goes on sale next year). The continued production of US supercars is a wonderful thing. Hopefully it continues to provide additional justification for continued Vipers:

[Torquemonster06]

[Viper Girl]

merging to other posted GT thread

[gerch85]

Not sure about the V6, but i really like it.

[Black Pearl]

The car does look nice. V6's have come along way in performance.

[swexlin]

I think it's gonna be a helluva car!
