R3L4X

In case you're curious. Looks quite European to me.

It does look nice. Need more details.

R&L's C6

Lends some credibility to the mid engine C8 rumors.

Super-b looking from every angle....except the front. What's with that huge under-bumper opening? Should be a go with a V6. It coulda been a four....

Gary '09 C6

IMO, should be a V-8...bore-out & boost-up that new 5.2L flat-plane crankshaft motor and use forged parts for the internals

don't tell us that Ford cannot afford to develop an appropriate V-8 engine

otherwise the car is a looker for sure

I like the round taillights....

The car looks and l am sure will be quick and nimble but for that kind of $ it should.

While l love the vette and always had one it might be time to move into a Porsche.

I can only drive so fast so going 0-60 in 3.9 instead of 4.3 is nothing more then mental masturbatiom.

Nice lines, interior simple nice. Lets see what we can do with the Zora C8.

I agree on all counts.

I was under the impression the EcoBoost V6 was problematic.
I may be old school but for that much dinero I want nothing less than a V8 in my Supercar.

OnPoint

I agree.

They throw a TT V6 in that and the value of the previous gen GT will go even higher than it already has.

Amazing exterior design. Especially how the side transitions into the rear and the rear into the roof line. That rear shot with the roof lines is very much corvette of the future in appearance. The dash does nothing for me.

Too bad Corvette was not a mid-engine option with the looks of this. It could easily double or perhaps triple the price but why not offer both concurrently. This for the Mitts et al and the Stingray & Z06 for the rest of us.

250,000 UK Pounds Sterling equals about $379,000 US. Can you imagine the 'adjusted market value' stealerships will extort from the diamond and platinum chain crowd?

Did they really put a friggin V6 in the Ford GT?

Theres another american supercar down the toilet. Ugh.

Ford EcoBoost, be very, very afraid.


The problem with the V6 EcoBoost motors, they love to carbon foul out the intake valves, and ford has not figured out a way to clean the fouling off the vavles with the motor still in tacked; hence without killing the turbo's in the process.

So Fords current solution, replace the heads instead. Being that this is a sports car, very few on them will have the problem while still under warranty, since the time will run out, long before mileage does.

Think more around $195K states side; the UK price is with shipping abroad, and the import tax on the car.

Think of like a 911, where you can get them much cheaper in Germany where they are mode, then in the the states when they have to shipping in with import tax.

C8-Vette

I was hoping that the C7 would have looked somewhat like that!

Anyone can make a nice car for $400k. A ZR1 will do almost as much at 1/4th the price and you can actually buy one.

I'd do an LS swap !!
