Looks excellent. That has to easily be the most attractive green machine I have ever seen...
New 2012 Ford GT with Hybrid power?!
- Thread starter tristateZ28Lt1
- Start date
Call it something else Ford!
Looks like the Shelby GR-1
I thought the same thing! To big of a front grill opening. That would suck up a lot of rocks and debris!
I had to do a double-take....I "saw" a GR-1 and "read" GT. I like it and the GT and GR-1 blend is obvious. It would be fitting for Ford to reintroduce the GT with an evolutionary twist. I always thought adding a hyrid motor to create an AWD format would be a real performance plus, but I never could square the thought of all that low-end torque advantage on the front wheels alone. Interesting to see how Ford works it out...if this is for real. Hope so.
You guys that are saying it's ugly must be blind. That thing is gorgeous and if it's coming that's awesome.
Well, the folks over on Ford GT forum, who have very high up connections at Ford have been saying it is 100% false and there is no FGT sucessor in the works. Just because it hasn't been denied by one person doesn't make it true.
This very same "leak" came out months back. Journalists these days will publish anything that will get attention, even if they have zero proof to back it up.
That pic above is obviously a massive photochop of a few concept cars mashed together. Until there is a least a shred of evidence that appears even 50% correct, this is all speculation.
Haha, when I read "It will take aim at Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren by using the most advanced technology available to deliver massive straight-line performance. And our exclusive images predict how the Detroit missile is shaping up." I stopped reading.
Staright-Line performance?
Predicts how it will looK?
Obviously a bad PShop of a GR-1 and an attempt of the magazine to ridiculize Detroit industry a la TopGear.
That article is BS.

Well Kuzak is pretty high up and while I know these guys like to play games and keep rumors going a lot of the time when they don't deny projects like these (e.g. Blue Devil/ZR1) there's something going on. Ford is in a good position right now to do something like this. Sure a supercar isn't what they need but a hybrid supercar could bring them so much publicity for the rest of rheir vehicles and they're hybrid developments. I'm sure you understand how it works. I'm just not willing to believe that something of that sort isn't being worked on.
I sure hope they make a GT successor...
It would be great to see them make a part II supercar, but there just isn't anything concrete to back any of these wild claims up. Back that up with the FGT forum guys who basically have hotline access to all black op projects within ford who all say nothing is in the works. There were spy shots of the GT back in 2003, so something like this would likely be 4-5 yrs off.
The Ford brand might be doing good now, but Lincloln is still all F'ed up and needs major work and investment to get them going in the right direction
