pederb has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Exciting, but a V6 in a Ford GT replacement?

Well, I'm sad that Ford won't put a V8 engine onto the new GT. However, combining the V6 Ecoboost engine (from the Chip Ganassi DP program) into a Ford GT car might be shaky, but it'll work somehow.

And speaking of Ganassi, glad that the team will run a GT car!

Looks great. Will be a shame to see it down by 200hp but otherwise look forward to seeing it. Much better than the last GT.

I'm guessing the motorsport programme will be announced tomorrow though, I didn't hear anything about that today, but hope we get a GT3 version of either this or the new Mustang in future too.

On the other hand, using a turbocharged V6 Ecoboost engine Chip Ganassi's DP program is very interesting!

From those photos it looks like the stylists did a nice job preserving a little of the original car while modernizing it.

Sure, a V8 has a certain emotional appeal to a certain (elderly) segment of the fan base, but what really matters is how the goes, more than what makes it go.

What matters more to me is how committed Ford will be to a full-on GTE program against Corvette racing.

Now we can only hope that Chrysler/Dodge realise that they're the only major American manufacturer who isn't supporting/racing in GTE/GTLM and thus have to relaunch the Viper GTE program!

From the Sportscar365 article:

"Neither of the projected race programs were confirmed during the short press event."

So would that be TUSC + LM/WEC or could one of those be something else?

He's talking about the rumored gt le mams program and the rumored mid season multimatic run program to start of the new gen mustang 350r in continental tire challenge series,as it was spotted at the roar going through tech and the quickly moved out of sight.

Ahhh, nice, will look forward to that one, the new Camaro looks great in pseudo-GT4 spec and needs some new Mustang competition. Was one of my favourite series last year so great news.

Thanks for the link.

Rumours seem to be that they will announce it during Le Mans week, which I think makes sense. I'm not convinced we'll learn much about anything from the WEC presser tomorrow.

Everything about this car looks the part, and judging by the specs - this thing should fly! Very purposeful, and I'm sure it will make a great race car.

It is also sort of refreshing to see a supercar come out that isn't all hybridized - not that I have anything against that....

Is it just me or does it look like the love-child of the old GT90 concept and an Evora? Definitely has Ford accents though.

I like it a lot. It is sleek and modern but tips the cap to the legacy of the GT/GT40. It will look fantastic is race car trim.

Looks somewhat Murcielago-ish. I think Reiter's last GT1 aerokit would look pretty nice on the Ford.
