2017 Ford GT First Official look

What you guys think of the new 2017, I think it is great. This is not the prototype its more a pre production spec. I think is great for the Ford GT to keep it relevant and to meet strict emissions that all exotics have to meet before 2020.

Initial specs to know:
3.5L twin turbo V6.
600HP+
Mid-engine Rear drive
7 Speed Dual Clutch
Carbon Mono


Ford GT Intro

Walk-around

Looks good. Will be cool to see the 3.5 ecoboost get pushed now that it will be in a legitimate car. Instead of just the Taurus SHO..

I like it Doesn't look like a Ford apart from the standard fish-mouth at the front, but maybe that's a good thing. I do think the back end could use a little more work around where the air channels are...just looks a little unfinished.

I am quickly becoming a Ford fan. I hope they follow up the Focus RS with a Fiesta RS.

That RS is going to be tons of fun. I'm still unsure on the new FGT's looks. And I'm not sure if I'm gonna like the sound it makes.
