New Ford GT unveiled

[v10enomous]

Way beyond my expectations... Need more info on the way it comes together and what it can do before it can be dismissed by only having a V6. I hope Chrysler and GM are watching and I hope these things are attainable for the guys normally shopping Vipers and High end corvettes. American mid engine super cars are long overdue IMO.

ford has lost their minds putting a v6 in it.

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!

[BlknBlu]

It does not look like a Ford product at all, very exotic an has cues of a Ferrari, need to see in person

I'm liking that Shelby GT350R. I can see it becoming a stable mate to my wife's Gen V. I've always wanted a Shelby, just had to wait for a track oriented one to come along.

[FrgMstr]

All about power to weight ratio. 600hp in a 2500 pound car will be a big deal. 3500 pound car, not so much.

[J TNT]

It will be interesting to see the full specs !

I'm not looking at the V-6 from a lack of power standpoint. I'm certain it will meet power expectations.

Having big American muscle under the hood is the heritage of the car....the rumble, exhaust tone, and just flat out raw power.....not ZING! ZING! ZING! It's a gorgeous car though.

Ford might be sandbagging it. Remember the Hellcat was going to be 600+. and look where that came in?

I would not be at ALL surprised if it comes in much higher - like 700.

[Snakebit10]

Ok ok ok....Seeing this vid gives me a better visual understanding of the car. I like it a bit better now. That aero treatment aft of the cockpit is sick.

[TooBlue]

Gotta remember F1 is only a 2.0 liter turbo...

Of course that is probably a million dollar 2.0....

Love the looks of the car. Ford hit a home run with it. Ford put the v6 in a race car the other year,so you knew this would be the evolution for them. Power to weight will be the real question.

Love the American flag on the dash right next to the car number!!!!!

Maybe Sergio knows what is coming down the pike from Ford and GM with their mid engine supercars.......no wonder he wants to dump Ferrari from the Fiat nest. If Ford and GM take just 20% of Ferrari's USA sales, that would be a very flat year in earnings.

[v10enomous]

Low production, active aero, carbon fiber chassis... Sounds expensive. Probably no $15k vouchers either.

[GBS]

I really like the looks of it. Not sure about the 600 HP Twin Turbo V6.

[Dman]

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.

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

[Fatboy 18]

Needs a V10

Would that prevent you from buying a 911 Turbo?

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

So what would be the VOA estimate of MSRP? The more I read about this, I'm guessing the listed price is going to be in the $500,000 range. Not to mention that the first 10 will probably be sold for some wild markup.

[V10powerr]

Love the car - way above my expectation - any idea on price range?

Exactly... who cares if this will be out of reach for all but celebrities.

[Murpowa]

Half a mill? Hell no, I believe this will be priced between a new GT3 or Mclaren 650s

Yet another car I will likely never be able to afford...definitely looks cool, although I'm a bit undecided on the V-6 power plant. People have always complained that the Viper exhaust note sucks, and I'm not sure a V-6 is going to fare much better in that department.

The only car I've ever seen less of on a road than a Viper is a Ford GT - I hope I get a chance to see one of these new ones in the flesh on public roads. Good on Ford for bringing this to reality...they certainly won't make a profit on it, but "American exotic" certainly has a nice ring to it, and I'm sure it will give the next generation of car nuts something to dream about, much like the Viper did for me as a kid.
