It's sporting a 3.5 liter v6 twin turbo ecoboost producing "more than 600 horsepower." It also has carbon fiber body panels.

Beautiful Carbon Fiber body. The motor choice is less than spectacular tho. But shite,Nissan puts a twin turbo,front mounted v-6 in their lauded GTR. Things a damn beast too so this lighter,Mid engine mounted twin turbo v6 in the GT should be a real track performer

While I congratulate Ford on getting that kind of power out of a smaller plant and realize the performance implications of it... Some things call for a big, rumbling V8 American motor. The Ford GT is one of those things.

I will not be buying one.

Very sleek. Will be interesting to see how that motor performs, and I'm really anxious to see how it sounds.

while i agree with you there the 5.4 liter,supercharged motor they put in the last generation GT was all but "rumbling"

Why would anyone spend all that money on a Ford?

should be a track monster. Probably going to have very good HP to weight ratio plus the aft mounted,lighter v6 motor should provide almost a perfect 50/50 Front/rear ratio.

The best case of who would spend money on X car to me is the Hyundai Equus (msrp $60k... really Hyundai?)

Those are very nice cars. I wouldn't buy it because at that price, Id choose other cars ahead of it. But wouldn't rule it out just because it's a Hyundai.
