I always thought they should have kept the Ford GT in production as a permanent halo full on performance model. A hybrid performance model might be interesting, IF they get it to actually perform well.

 

No reason it couldn't be. Look at that crazy thing Porsche showed us recently.

 

Don't taunt me with a headline of 'New Ford GT' and then start talking about hybrids. Curse you Motortrend.

 

ya wtf thats a dumb idea. take the same powertrain as the 03 and wrap in new packaging and we'll all be happy

 

I take it you guys haven't seen the Porsche 918 Spyder. 500 hp 3.4L V8 mated to two 218hp electric motors. Sub 3.2 second 0-60, 200mph, and almost 100 mpg. Pretty friggen cool.

 

i saw it but it sounds like crap

 

No way lol. Just imagine a ~500+ hp 6.2L with an extra 300 or so hp on tap whenever you wanted it...

 

And a price of $500,000 if I'm not mistaken.

I don't think Ford wants/needs to go that far.

 

It would still be pretty awesome, even if it's as a concept just to say "hey, we can do this too."

If they build a production car then yes, sub $250k is ideal. I just would like to see what Ford could do if they decided to go all out and build something to fit in with the likes of cars like the Enzo, the McLaren F1, Veyron, Zonda, etc...

 

well most porshes sound like crap to me anyways and that one just sounds like a lawn mower when they start it up. But im sure ford will make the people with enough money to have one very happy lol atleast at car show i can just look and not hear

 

Haha, the 918 does sound a little rough on idle but under load it's pretty nice. It's no Carrera GT, though.

 

Just bring back the GT, and offer me 0% for 84 months and I'm there.

 

This is the car that Ford should've built. 2005 Shelby GR-1 concept. 6.4L V10, 605 hp and 200+ mph.
It's still not too late.

 

looks amazing for 1980. Try keeping that thing clean.

 

ya thatd be awesome. just paint it and its perfect

 

I knew I seen that car before

 

I have nothing against a hybrid sports car like the 918, but DO NOT attempt to call something like that a Ford GT. Just sayin

 

A GT-class car will require significant engineering and development investment. The lineup's come a long way, but I'm inclined to think it's not worth the money unless the vehicle is a showcase of Ford's new technology. As much as I like the GT and the GR-1 concept, just putting out another shiny old-school performance car with the good ole 5.4 would be a mistake. If they do this it needs to have an EcoBoost Coyote and/or hybrid AWD and as much technology as they can cram into it.

 

Agreed! Something with a little more punch than the rumored/proposed Focus RS . .

I'd like to see an Eco-6 from the SHO/F150 with more boost and electric motor at the front for AWD would be rather nice in my opinion . . .
