i actually dont know. i just found these pics. it is somewhat of an assurance that this will go in production. i called a chrysler dealership before a few months back and talked to the GM there..he told me it will go on production, but because i dont really trust car salesman that much and just "listen" to them, i kept doing research..and voila i came across these pictures. My uncle went today and put a deposit down on the vehicle. They said its somewhere between $400-450K. He had to put 5k as a deposit for the first allocation. id ont think theyll make more than a couple hundred of these the first year. i cant wait!!!!!! (to drive one when my uncle gets it)

The first pics looks like from a video shoot of that old Usher video movie thing.

The others I havent seen before, but they have been driven around on tracks and such as seen on MTV's Cribs DUB edition.

With that siad, I WANT ONE!!

I want one, this has been one of my fav. supercar concepts for a while now! Now I think there's no doubt in my mind that AMG or AMG technology had at least a little bit to do with this massively powerful car

I thought this project was canned.
ITs stupid. Like the Ford GT. yeah, its cool but they should concentrate on CARS WE CAN BUY, not a select few.

Teh Ford GT has produced almost no halo on the brand.

I have to disagree. The Ford GT showed the world that Ford CAN compete with Ferrari and lesser exotics. This thinking had lead many people to consider a Ford, based on the heritage. Think of it this way... look at all the people who buy those cheap *** "luxury cars" like the A2 and 1 series. They buy these cars because of the name. Afterall, they're still Audis and BMWs. This thinking, Im positive, has rubbed off on many people buying lesser Fords, thinking "this is the same company that can compete with Ferrari."

Yes, the Ford GT showed it could compete with Ferrari. The Ford 500 flopped. The Mustang is a Mustang, the GT didn't help. The Fusion wasn't out yet and the Focus didn't get a bump in sales either.

So yes, the GT was a worthy sports car, no it didn't help ignite Ford sales.
