So hot.

This car really came as a surprise to me. I had no idea that a new GT was even on Ford’s radar. . . I think maybe I was paying too much attention to the new GT350.

2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the original GT’s 3 year reign of dominance at Le Mans. The GT from 2005ish was brought back as a centennial car, marking Ford’s 100 year anniversary. The headlights even reference ‘100’…

The past few years they have just been dominating, and yes the new stylings they have dropped are just awesome. They just announced in Detroit that 10 “new” vehicles will be launched in the next 5 years.

Yes the GT350 looked awesome from this morning, no AC or rear seats…

That’s a cool little detail. I guess if I was paying attention, I would have known that…derp. Seeing as I knew that the GT was brought out to commemorate Ford’s 100th.

The body is all carbon fiber, it will be light

I dont think this is meant to compete with the Z06, maybe the 458

lol. No worries. This has bigger fish to fry.

The GT350R has _carbon fiber_ wheels. From the factory. Pagani doesn’t do that.

The next gen Raptor hit today, too. Ford didn’t just drop the mic, they friggin’ spiked it.

The Agera has CF wheels

I wonder if that US company Jay Leno did a feature on is supplying the CF wheels to ford. they made a big deal about trying to product CF wheels in mass.
