Ford GT
- Thread starter Housey
- Start date
Order mine first thing today, Ford will inform me of the price but looking at $450,000 and they also need to accept me for the order. Unfortunately they are picking the customers so can see US customers getting priority over some bloke in the UK.
How much is my spot in the que worth
Think of it this way, the Nissan GTR has a 3.8 turbocharged V6, this will have a 3.5 turbocharged V6. I bet it will sound awesome and go like stink!
Although they should probably drop the 'ecoboost' moniker for this model...

If it sounds twice as good as the Ecoboost Formula Ford, it'll be lovely.

What are they doing tagging a car like this with 'ecoboost'?!

Liquid Blue + White Stripes
White interior (Re-Entry)
Blue Calipers
Graphite Wheels
I'll take one please.
Almost identical to me but I went for the carbon wheels.
Clever branding - makes people associate the name with performance and cool stuff.

Exactly. Acting as a halo car for the rest of the brand is pretty much the main reason this car even exists.

What's happened to Ford? They used to make cars like this...

They still do?
Ford making something like a GT isn't new is it? They've done it before - 12 years ago - and before that - 50 years ago! The Mustang isn't new either?! Neither are hot turbo hatchbacks..
You mean run-of-the-mill small cars? Yeah, if only Ford still made such things...
One of my mates is a bit of a Ford RS fanatic, he had B reg Escort RS, Fiesta RS, numerous Sierra RS both saloon 4WD and 2 door big spoiler RWD one, bet he wished he kept that. He fiddled with them all power wise but most crazy thing he did was buy an Escort van from that era and fit the Sierra RS cosworth engine in it and of course modified chassis/suspension etc. I never forget him going down a country road at 160+ leptons and scared the hell out of me. But it was hilarious at the time pulling upto back then what was very fast expensive cars and just doing them in a van. At the time it was funny and he loved it but I myself would never pile so much money into such a thing because end of the day no matter how quick it went, was still a van.
Nope, I will buy it through the company and it can be a company car. I am sure the FD won't have an issue, afterall I spend more money than this when just buying some SSD's.
Just hoping he does not see quantity 1x Ford GT @ $450,000
You are wholly and deservedly receiving of jelly.

You do realise I was completely jesting, but the company owning a Ford GT would be good PR exercise could have a good ROI and then a year later flip it for a profit.
Again I am jesting!
The GT looks a proper beast and to me, all round the car just looks mean and lovely, even the back.
I had an XR2i in red as a company car many, many years ago, leant it to the Accountant so he could "try it out", he wrote it off on his way home whilst "trying it out". Had to be craned out of a farmers field the next day
