Don Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hey fellow car fans, I was flipping through my latest issue of MotorTrend (April 2015 issue) and was fascinated with their short story on Fords new 2017 GT Supercar...errr...Hypercar (pages 16 and 17): https://social.ford.com/content/fordsocial/en/articles/autoshow/all-new-ford-gt-sets-new-standard-for-ford-innovation.html?searchid=260551114|16660224154|89333318&ef_id=Uw-dFwAABQAjwVrk:20150312124109:s Whoa...what a sweet looking ride!!! I knew it was being designed/built by Ford after rumors became reality around about last summer, but missed its official unveiling at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Some older news snippets: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/1501_ford_gt_in_detroit_is_very_real_with_600_plus_hp/ http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2017-ford-gt-official-photos-and-info-news Latest rumors are that Fords GT program is farther ahead then people think (thanks to Fords veil of secrecy surrounding this project) and they may even have a racing version ready for the Petit-Le-Mans this October thanks to a partnership with Chip Ganassi Racing. Should be interesting. Well done Ford! At about $300,000 per copy in a very limited run beginning next year...its a real steal of a deal (yeah right huh... :P ) Now give me a 1/24 version please! Regards, Don. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 They initially opened up at the auto show with a big billboard that said "LaFord" Changed it the next day to read The New Ford GT. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 http://blog.axisofoversteer.com/2015/03/ford-trolls-ferrari-in-geneva.html?m=1 I think its kinda funny and good on Ford. Light hearted humor when you really get down to it and Ferrari could have played along and everyone could have had a chuckle over it (not knocking Ferrari either as I have always liked their F50...not their F150 truck...I mean car :D ). No harm no foul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I really doubt Ferrari said anything about it. They probably planned to change the sign after a day anyway and were just poking fun. But you never know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raceaddict Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Not bad... they got the model into production before the real thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
