It's good looking, just not as good looking as the last one, which was one of the best looking cars of all time imo.
It's frustrating it doesn't have a V8 or Supercharged V8 because of multiple reason, but they did a great job with the TTV6.
It's a cool car and I'm just glad Ford is producing another supercar. It isn't what I'd want from them or what I think they're capable of, but I'm one 20yo guy in college and they have teams of engineers to build it and economists to figure out what's going to sell and what's best for the company. So maybe, just maybe, 100s of professionals knows better than me what the Ford GT should be like.
Fuck you! I really think that this Ford GT can be a worldwide phenomenon once it's wheels touches the real LeMans race. You fucking wait.
>>14895278
I think it looks pretty good OP, I don't see the problem.
>>14895278
Its a twin turbocharged v6 making 600+ horsepower.... I don't understand why people have a problem with this. Is it because all the Americans are upset because it does not have a v8? This car is a wonderful bit of engineering coming out of the states for once. They actually put thought into the design, don't shit on it.
>>14895289
Are you out of your fucking mind?

>It's frustrating it doesn't have a V8 or Supercharged V8 because of multiple reason, but they did a great job with the TTV6.
Just a sign of the times, blame CAFE. Smaller turbocharged engines do well in their lab testing even if they don't deliver the projected fuel savings on the road. The new car sounds interesting at least.

>>14895360
>I have no friends and never go out in public the post
Again, people love the design and hear TTV6 and aren't bothered because of cars like the GT-R. One guy I spoke to said it'd be cool if they offered cheaper version with the Voodoo V8, but he wasn't put out by the TTV6.
>>14895402
>>14895375
So why is there never any V12s?
>>14895289
say what you want.. but OP is displeased.. and i'm sure Ford lost a sale.
>>14895441
Because that would be too logical for Americans.
>>14895431
Yeah absolutely. I would have KILLED to have that flat plane crank V8 built and supercharged then thrown into the middle of that car, but it's just not going to happen.

Kek.
>>14895463
Yeah, the Voodoo would have been great for muh heritage and the sound. But this is Fords new halo car and they're showcasing Ecoboost because engines are only going to get smaller for the most part. Plus the fact that the TTV6 is going to have 100hp more and over 100lb-ft more torque than the Voodoo surely doesn't hurt. The '05 GT had 550hp, it would seem a little redundant for the new car to have less by using the Voodoo.
>>14895463
Some cars don't need 700hp bro, the FORD GT isn't about muh racin in a straight line, you need balance.
The V6Turbo really is enough for this car, look at nissan fucking destroying cars with it. It's the technology that will finally end up making the difference.
>>14895531
Oh I didn't want the Supercharger V8 for the power. It could have had the same power desu and I wouldn't have cared that much. It's more about heritage and sound.
But the TTV6 is a great engine and will do great thing, just not what I would have wanted.
>>14895488
Well you know they could have upped the power, especially with the use of a supercharger, they know what they're doing with that shit. But it is great for marketing to have that ECOBOOST name on their supercar and on their standard cars. I understand why they did what they did, and it was the smart thing to do. IMO it just wasn't the right thing to do!

Because it isn't a V8. Everything must be V8, V8 lawn mowers, V8 motorcycles, V8 mopeds, V8 refrigerators, V8 strollers, V8 everything.
Honestly, because Americans grew up idolizing the V8 over every other engine platform.
>>14895431
Voodoo V8 would have been the obvious choice for the new Ford GT. This turbo v6 bullshit is nothing more than Ford marketing "ecoboost".
>hurrdurr an ecoboost V6 is what we chose for our brand defining car so you should want it in your shitbox as well
leave it to ford to make a v6 sound like shit
>>14895814
If it's not a V8 your a manlet. LEL.
so why would anyone buy this over a GTR?

Do they not realise they are a low tier brand?
>>14895441
Because American engineers would need to take off their shoes to have any possibility of count that high, but their guts would still block the view anyway.
>>14895278
there was a reason ford put the twin hair dryers on the v6 in the back of the new GT.
the cheese eating surrender monkeys that run le mans have a capacity limit for this car meaning they couldnt use a v8. the capacity limit is 4 litres. and the v8 is 5 yes they could have entered it into unlimitied class but thats for non production cars...
>>14896535
literally nobody gives a shit about production le mans results
>>14896474
>literally showing your insecurities on 4chan
newfag
>>14896548
of course they dont but that was the point of this car. to race it at le mans. and sell the homologation road cars. the ecoboost v6 is a proven race engine google it
>>14896548
Except for Ford, who built this entire car around the idea that it would run in Le Mans

Maybe they were going for a more compact motor for balance? I tend to agree with the sentiment that it's being done for marketing. It's not the end of the world though holy fuck calm down. It's not like it's a hybrid or something dumb like that.
>>14896508
>being ignorant of history
>>14895441
Because that's European
>>14896694
and ford had a 1 2 3 finish at le mans with the help of the 427 side oiler SOHC V8 and carroll shelby. its obvious ford wants another win. but they wiill have to use a forced asperation v6 to do it...
>>14896508
>>14896708
This is one of those rare moments that Ford gets to act like Ferrari and everyone treats their product like Ferrari.
>exclusive
>prove you are worthy of owning one
>pay out the ass for it afterwards and even more once they inevitably sell out
This might be the only case of "The people's car" builder being treated as one of the elite automakers.
Its like being in a bizarre alternate universe where elite snob-like people who would normally worship anything with a Ferrari badge now doing it to one with a Ford badge.
They're saying this thing is going to be ONE THOUSAND POUNDS lighter than a GT-R or NSX.
That's 2 whole americans lighter.
1 whole american lighter than a 488 GTB
250lbs lighter than than a mclaren 650s.
>>14896503

RCR makes actual race cars. It would weigh less than a 2017 GT and the only reason it would be slower is if you chose to put a weak engine in it.

manual transmissions will never be outdated. I will never buy a sports car that doesn't have a stick shift transmission.

>>14898449
yeah I suppose if I was trying to build an actual race car I would prefer a sequential manual. it would probably be more appropriate for the RCR GTR and I'm sure if you pony up the cash you could put it in there.
I would prefer more litres for muh longevity and ease of maintenence. The sound is a welcome bonus. This twin turbo faggotry is for fuel economy. Ferrari just made their 458 successor tarbo also. It doesnt sound the same, but it uses less fuel. Yay
>>14899070

>>14899070
>I would prefer more litres for muh longevity and ease of maintenence.
Audi debored the 2.8L V6 from the A4 to 2.7L for the TT version in the S4 for reliability and longevity.
>>14899099
You mean at 2:27? That's the transmission, it's just a rolling concept for piddling around auto shows. It's not a production spec car.
>>14901273
I mean moar litres so it can be competitive without turbos.
A good deal moar
>>14899086
And why would everything else be running small turbos?
Because it's fun? No, you dumb cunt
>>14901386

>>14895335

>>14895357
I agree. If the engine was bigger they'd say we're not getting enough out of it. If we make the engine smaller they complain it's not bigger. Yuros will always hate what they can't put a tax on anymore.
>>14895448
>>14895587
>Muh heritage
I see your point, but if we stay our course we'll never try new things. Also no one seems to remember what happens every time Americans get good at racing: they change the rules.
Maybe Ford thought "there's no way they can ban a turbo v6" and designed it that way as a preemptive measure,as opposed to incurring new design costs.
If you want to talk about failed marketing, never forget to press F for the FWD Nissan prototype.
>>14901413
I would just prefer 600 hp from 6+ litres of displacement than from a smaller turboed engine. It might have less torque but it would sound better and be simpler to maintain.
Turbo engines are more maintenance intensive and the trickier any servicing is to do the less likelihood it has of being done
>>14896532

They are making this for racing/track purposes. So they are making in line for the limits of the rules. They can't go past a certain limit with NA.
Also who cares about maintenance. You're never going to own one.

Nigger, longevity has fuck nothing to do with displacement, it just depends on how gud the thing is designed and how round it rolls without shaking itself to pieces, which is why I6 and V12 will always have bonus points to longevtiy. I'll gladly tarbo the fuck out of any straight-six while deboring it to get them fuggin emmpeegees so I could actually afford driving around here.

It's a terrible design decision meant to help shill turbo mustangs to dude bro benchracers. Ford has compromised their racing identity.
Everyone talks a lot of shit about Dodge, but at least they stick to their roots. None of this turbo nonsense. Just raw, senseless, brutal power.
Back in the seventies, Ford saw what Dodge was doing and tried to one up them as hard as possible with their V8s. Now, Dodge releases the Hellcats and the new ACR and Ford answers with two limp wristed, design by committee sports cars.
>>14904044
>identity
I'm pretty sure retards said the same when everyone switched from carbs to DI like it was the final betrayal.
Nigger they're companies, overgrown money making machines for their owners, any 'identity' or feelings you assign to them is nothing but proof that you saw the marketing blather and ate it right up like delicious candy.
They adapt their product range to changing times and you treat it like a personal insult. How infantile can you get? They make cars for fucks sakes. CARS. I love cars but they're nothing but target demographic calculations on wheels, always have been after carmakers got their shit together after the second world war.
>>14902874
If you think about it, the V12 engine is actually doing less work than an equivalent straight six with the same mileage.
>>14904087
You can think that shit if you want, but the very existence of a 707 horsepower Dodge sedan negates it. Ford is one of the single most powerful automotive entities around. They could put a fresh shit in every passenger seat of every car at every dealership in American and still turn a profit. Instead of using their massive piles of money and reputation to build a car befitting the title of GT, they pumped out this horseshit.
I don't really give a shit what Ford does, in the long run. American automotive companies are dying their final death. Chrysler will be the first to go, and with them the legacy of AMC. It'd just be nice to see the other two shot factories push the limits as ruthlessly as SRT has.
>>14904649
The problem with your line of thinking is that the people that give a shit about what you want can't afford to buy what Dodge was selling with the SRT brand. It says a lot that SRT only lasted 18 months on the market before FCA gave up again. They kept trying to convince people that the SRT line was worth buying and it didn't work You can bitch until you're blue in the face but Ford built the new GT to win a race first, the Viper was just built as an excuse to pay for R&D on an engine design that was once unproven with a bodystyle that was completely hostile to owners.
