I was kinda hoping for an ecoboost version of the 5.2 motor from the GT350. Regardless, I would love to see the specs as the come up on the new motor on this one.

Ford plans on releasing 12 new performance cars by 2020. This is fantastic news!!! They are absolutely killing it with these designs as well.

Looks like a lower wider Stratos... It is achingly beautiful.

BMW hasn't really made a supercar since the original M1, not sure why everyone's so shocked. Would it be cool if they had a supercar? Yeah sure I guess, but not like I could ever afford one so what do I care? Even if BMW made one (if you want to count their more expensive, rumored high HP i8 variant as one), it won't look as good as that Ford GT I don't think. The car is absolutely stunning inside and out. Ford took BMW's minimalist approach to interior design and just took it to another level. Absolutely love it.

If you have the money, you're more than welcome to drop your 330i and pick up a 2016 Ford GT.

Wonder how it'll hold up against Ferrari's. The original Ford GT was made specifically to destroy Ferrari in Le Mans competition (and it did).

Wish it had a V8 though, weird seeing a Ford GT with a TT V6. Not like Ford is short on high performance V8's...

I think the middle section is a bit overdone and the rear overhang is too much. Other than that it's a winner in my book. Ford is now my favorite automaker.

I can't stop looking at this thing. For less then a Turbo S.

The Germans need to do some soul searching.

I don't think you need to worry about my well being and plans, correct?
If BMW wants to charge 70k for M3 and 50k for 328 they better have a supercar.

The tt v6 makes a lot of sense. It is a global platform and cheaper to register in other parts of the world while also optimizing fuel economy to meet new regulations. Ford can also add an electric motor to the platform and have a killer hybrid. Get out and travel a bit.

That reasoning makes absolutely no sense, as for instance BMW never built any SUV's, let alone M SUV, BMW never build any FWD van, BMW never built any FWD sedan, but now they have or will.

I couldn't care less about your well being and plans. Just saying if you're seemingly so disappointed with BMW, there's literally nothing stopping you from going elsewhere. Or you can whine about it on the internet, your call.

Lol maybe you should hop on the BMW BoD and share them your logic as to why they should build a supercar. I mean it's air tight and not at all something that's absolutely retarded.

The reasoning makes perfect sense. Whenever Ferrari or Porsche comes out with a new super car, nobody whines "BUT BMW DOESN'T HAVE A SUPERCAR!".

They've never really made them in the past and if they start that's cool. I just don't get why anyone cares. There's plenty of options if you want a supercar, unfortunately none of them are made by BMW.

Like I said, you don't need to worry what I can or should do, or what I can and can't buy.

Did you just get out of diapers and mommy didn't give you milk this morning?

Focus on the tread topic and chill out a bit.
