Price? Dimensions? Looks like big car. Never thought id ever consider buying a ford, but this changes all that! Ford is on a roll at the Detroit auto show. The new raptor looks awesome too.

I like that it is an evolution of the previous GT in terms of looks. While not a bad looking vehicle at all, it resembles a robotic amphibian of some sorts lol. I think the interior controls are a mess though...

I love it! Now that ford has gotten their **** together and is producing quality desirable cars, there should be no reason for them not to build a quality Lincoln.

Too over styled for my tastes, particularly in the front.

I liked the Ford GT but it is was a flop and pretty much too unreliable to really own/drive. Jeremy Clarkson was extremely excited and bought one but had to take it back because it had so many problems it did not make sense to own. Surprised they would use a tt V6 when they already have a great V8 for it.

I expect this one to be much better than the 05-06 GT. Ford was a completely different beast back then.

On another forum we compared the GT to the 2020 (R36 concept) just for fun.

I don't know what you're saying. I think 2020 looks badass, maybe I'm such a fan of sci-fi.

To me the new Ford GT looks much more exotic than the NSX

Hopefully they put a V8 in there eventually!

All the aerodynamic trickery is impressive. Stunning car.
