I think ford had 3 solid home runs so far at the auto show

All 3 are hot and make my pants tight.

Should make it out more often then. Last dyno day was 2, 1/2 mile was 1, pavilions typically can find 1-2 depending on the week.

Easily. The last Ford GT had a MSRP of $139,000 so I will guess this will start at least $150k

Here in Portland there are at least 5 GT's that run around. The most common is a white/blue stripe and a black/white stripped duo that like to troll around the Ferrari and Audi dealerships

i see Ferrari's every time i'm in scottsdale , but never one of those. and rarely a viper.

I don't think that is meant to compete with a C7, now when or if there is a C8 Mid engine Vette......
I am also sure it will be a very low volume produced of these, again not meant to compete with the Corvette.

Who ever said hott buttered sex is absolutely right. The NAIAS is shaping up to be an epic unveiling this year!

It will be like the last Ford GT I'm sure if not a step higher. Active aero, push rod suspension, DCT, etc is all high end supercar stuff. If they pull of the v6 as well as the GTR then I don't care about the number of cylinders. GTRs are cranking out 2000+hp so I'm sure tuners/aftermarket will get big power out of this motor. If it is light enough it won't take huge power anyways to be stupid fast.

The Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] has shocked the automotive world with the unveiling of an all-new GT supercar today at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. As stunning as it looks, the GT on show in Detroit isn’t a concept to be watered down by the time production rolls around but a preview of the car that will be hitting showrooms sometime in 2016.

It’s got all the typical supercar cues such as a mid-mounted engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration, and a sleek, aerodynamic coupe body. But instead of the typical V-8 engine found in most performance Fords, including the previous GT, the new generation will come packing an EcoBoost V-6 engine whose twin-turbochargers will help liberate more than 600 horsepower.

The engine will be derived from the 3.5-liter mill fitted to the automaker’s Daytona Prototype competing last year in the United SportsCar Championship. Ford tells us that it will feature a wide powerband with impressive time-to-torque characteristics. Some of the new aspects of the design will be updated direct-injection and valvetrain features, aimed at boosting performance and efficiency, as well as a seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle.

For the chassis, Ford has made extensive use of lightweight materials, including carbon fiber and aluminum, to give the car an impressive power-to-weight ratio. The passenger cell is all carbon fiber, and mounted to this are aluminum front and rear subframes encapsulated in structural carbon fiber body panels. The body, by the way, features active aerodynamics, such as a deployable rear spoiler—each surface is functionally crafted to manage airflow.

The suspension consists of a racing-style torsion bar and pushrod setup, with adjustable ride height, and the wheels are a 20-inch set shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires designed specifically for the new GT. Stopping power comes from carbon ceramic discs.

There’s still a lot of development work to be done, which is why we haven’t heard any official performance numbers just yet. Expect further announcements to be made in the coming months.

Beginning production late next year, the new Ford GT hits the road in select markets to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ford’s historic 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans victory with the original GT40. A racing program for this latest beauty hasn’t been announced, but participation in both the 2016 United SportsCar Championship and the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans is expected.

In the United SportsCar Championship, Ford is expected to team up with Chip Ganassi Racing and compete in the GTLM category. In Le Mans, we’re likely to see the new GT competing in the GTE category, going up against the likes of Aston Martin, Chevrolet, Porsche and old foe Ferrari.
