Ford GT: This Is It
Jalopnik ^ | 1/12/2015 | Patrick George

Ford did it. They actually went and did it. It's been rumored about and speculated on for months, but now we know it's real.

This is it: the new Ford GT. Ford just dropped a bomb on the rest of the world, and it's got a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, if you can believe it.

Me too. ever since I bought a GT40 slot car back in 1966. My dream is to own a used 2006 GT someday. Well, I can dream can’t I?

Here's the one I want and I'll bet it's cheaper and better on gas than the GT.

Agreed. That is just about perfection. Some things were done right the first time. GT-40, P51 Mustang etc.

How baksheesh did Ford pay to Lamborghini to use their styling?

Give my a John Wyer Gulf GT 40 any day.

Ever watch those “superspeeders” youtube videos. There is one where they outrun the cops in one of these on the freeway.

I post things like this and my hope is, whilst it is not political if we have Folks coming to FR that are Serving this Nation and need a healthy diversion what is better than 4 Wheeled American Muscle. Hats off to you if you are looking!

I always refer to that color as “No Sale Blue”. But I notice MANY of the auto companies are showing that color in their TV ads.

Looks like Ford is carpet bombing the NAIAS this year.
