New Ford GT for 2015

......Personally I think I prefer the previous model!
Understand they have to evolve, but tbh I think I would have stepped away from the GT badge.
The old GT was based on the original GT40.
This one, not so much.......

A very capable track car in standard form....which is a bonus really cos I only bought it because it looks well

Lovely thing...cheap motoring until I damage it

Ugh. The new one looks like a Ferrari

I really like the previous incarnation (your black one looks ace Vipoergts!)
But money no object, I'd still go for the original, no question.

Ooh I like that

I am a big fan of the GT, in fact twice now I've been tempted & very nearly bagged one, they seem to be the ideal supercar, brilliantly robust power train & cool retro looks, still holding their values well ain't they?

Just out of interest Steve, what do you think of that M4(3?) to the left of it? Me ginge wants to replace her V8 conv M3.

Without a doubt the older model is king, the lines and rear end are so retro to me, the new one looks a bit of a bitsa and without a V8 just seems wrong although the v6 TT is pumping out respectable figures and imagine the Pshhhh from the dump valves.

Not sure the new one looks that good, it's a bit like some others. if there was no Ford badge I bet most peeps would think it was a Lotus or a plastic Itanian.

The old GT is just such a good looking ca,r from any view point it looks fast and sleek. Even if you paint it pale blue with a big Orange stripe it still looked good and you cant say that about most cars
