rmc523 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Apparently the new GT will be on the cover of Forza Motorsport 6: http://www.autoblog.com/2015/01/12/ford-gt-concept-ford-forza-box/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Does this launch with SYNC 3.0? If not I'm gonna wait. Didn't someone make a super car with a turbo Ford V6 years ago? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 cant wait to hear the V6 wailing at peak RPMs....although I understand people desiring the flat plane, if these are successful in Le Mans it will add some serious cudos to the ecoboost image, and I think with this car they wanted to give a "high Tech" image.... Hey Dean - it's been racing for over a year already in the Chip Ganassi Daytona Prototype. I'm sure you can find some video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Crap just saw an article about the "new" Ford Performance 3.5L Ecoboost engine and its a different animal then the current one...as in totally new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordtech1 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 It's better than I expected. I'm sure the 3.5 will perform amazing but a TT 5.0 would sound more exotic. So when I saw a Ferrari on the test track in Dearborn this is why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 i hear you on that but,there is no reason they cant sell the v6 and a v8.i really would be shocked if that GT350 motor doesnt end up in it.i dont see that motor just being in the GT350 considering the money that went into that motor. Prepare to be shocked. There's no way you're putting a 90 degree engine with two more cylinders on it in that car. No way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hmmmm...LOL Inspiration has to come from somewhere! hahaha Also, someone went to a lot of trouble to be wrong a while back: https://www.behance.net/gallery/The-2014-Ford-GT/6862769 Definitely looks like something that would've come from the 90s....but they deserve some credit for making it and putting that together haha.

rmc523 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Also, I don't think anyone noticed. The GT has SYNC 3: (Here's a link to the picture where you can make it full screen and see it better......http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ford-gt-2/#image-9 ) Edited January 13, 2015 by rmc523 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBirdStangSkyliner Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The answer: the 1935 Duesenberg SJ Mormon Meteor. The Question: What was the last American road car that was as exotic for its day as is the new Ford GT? The Meteor III of 1938 was more of a Salt Flats car. There might be some in-between, but I can't readily think of any. Let's hope that a EB Coyote makes it in this car after homologation is complete.

RichardJensen Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Don't forget that you could buy one of these: http://www.boldride.com/ride/1967/ford-gt40-mark-iii I find it thoroughly amusing that the Mk III in this article was owned by Herbert von Karajan. It would, in fact, be difficult to overstate my amusement at the idea of him owning a GT-40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 You beat me to it RMC. I just read the Jalopnik article http://jalopnik.com/we-need-to-know-more-about-bill-fords-clown-themed-kid-1679129666 Good for a laugh. But man that interior, I haven't seen a cool interior since the Interceptor and 427 concepts. Of course the last GT was really awesome too.

The chassis and aeros of the GT III are highly exotic, the powertrain probably less-so. It was fun seeing pictures of that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANTAUS Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Eh, could be a souped up truck with chrome up the ying-yang, loud exhaust with a 3ft clearance. Oh wait, I just described someone today at Home Depot trying to load up his "Ridgeline" and they kept telling him "It's NOT a real truck, SIR, we can't do this, we do not want to be liable", and me passing by whispered to the associates in spanish "check his package, it dont look big at all". Yup it doesnt just happen in the Corvette which most I end up flying right on by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traxiii Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Who's going to buy one of those Galpin Auto Sports GTR1s for like a million bucks when you'll probably be able to get a Ford GT for $150K? Doesn't have 1000+ Horsepower, but the GT looks amazing and should be extremely fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have 1000+ Horsepower, but the GT looks amazing and should be extremely fast. I'm not sure if the GT will be that "cheap"...given its Carbon Fiber structure etc...but then again maybe this is a proof of concept that Ford will be spinning out CF to other more mainstream products to make them lighter/stronger to meet CAFE ratings. But then again $150-200K for this car is a "good" price IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yeah - I'm thinking at least $225K but we'll see. And you have to just shake your head at the "but I wish it had a V8" crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always appreciated any engine no matter the cylinder count. I find the GT absolutely amazing. The current EcoBoost 3.5L has a great torque curve and I'm sure the 2nd generation will also. I bet this will pull off the line like a locomotive and power to weight ratio should be excellent. I can't wait for actual performance numbers.
