Here's how Ford secretly developed the FGT
- Thread starter svtfocus2cobra
- Start date
THats a daily beater for Treynor.
Pretty much!
I'm just really happy companies like Factory Five have produced things like the GTM for us poor folks with big supercar ownership aspirations and middle class budgets.
Kinda where I was going with my post above.I read this but all I see is
Haha yup. These threads have some serious passion. Trolls are having a field day
I hope it's not $300k. I don't see it being very popular at that price level. I thought it would be at or under $200k
Yeah no kidding. Ford left too much on the bone last time around.
The 05/06s sell for $300k now.... what do you mean they won't be popular?
Ignorance is bliss for some apparently. Awesome machine.
Car is built to compete with the 458/speciale/488 and the McLaren 650s.
Those cars are 225K- 295k, clear 300K and you're into Aventador pricing. Ford will sell enough F150's and Fusions to not give two shits about profit margin on this vehicle. I say $250-270K max. Now of course you'll still have to deal with retarded dealer ADM because Ford dealers won't know what to do with this car, where as a Ferrari or McLaren dealer won't price gouge the items as it's bad play.

Very cool story
Awesome story and awesome car all around. Cannot wait to see one in person. This will be one great looking car in race form.
200+k easy. Probably 250-280.

It's not a $200k car, or close. Just look at what's in the car. I've posted it before but find the cars that check all these boxes:
Full CF construction (CF passenger cell + CF body)
DCT
Pushrod suspension
Fixed Seating
Active Aerodynamics
And the engine is basically a piece of race hardware. The old GT motor was about $36k to replace and I guarantee you this 3.5L is going to be well north of that.
Then you have to factor in that this will not be a 4,000 unit car like the 05/06. Significantly lower. Between the exotic construction and the low production volumes, it's going to be a expensive car.
You also have to factor in that Ford isn't stupid. They are aware that the market value of the old car hovers around $250k and sometimes trades between $300-500k depending on mileage and options. It's unrealistic to think they would release a way more sophisticated, much higher performance, low-volume specialty car ten years later at a significant discount to the market value of the last one. If they did, that would just ensure dealers add on $150-200k right off the bat, which I think is likely anyways.
Look at the overall market as well. It's easy to find 650S cars with MSRP around $350k. Same for Speciale. Even though they are not similar in intent, the Aventador shares some construction commonalities with GT and they eclipse $450k all day. Hell, even a Nismo GT-R is $150k and a Porsche Turbo S now starts at ~$184k. Ford GT is going to be a long, long way from that.

Yes when I seen that this was going to be a majority CF constructed car I was thinking Lexus LFA price range of $335K plus.
Awesome story. So cool they kept a lid on it with all the social media and spies nowadays. NlGHTMARE you're a retard.
I don't even give a sh!t, honestly - I just wanted to see how many people I could piss off with one sentence.
I can't even imagine how cool it would be to be a part of a project like this.
That basement was yours wasn't it?
