Nice to see the rumors were true. Will be powered by 3.5 Ecoboost with over 600hp, heavy use of carbon. Interior probably will be changed for production but cool concepts.

It looks spectacular from behind! I'd like to hear it..
I absolutely love the look. I want to hear it. If they can get it sounding like a Nissan GTR or the Daytona Prototype TTV6 that Ganassi runs, I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had the money.
Looks great from all angles.
Awesome looking on the outside but that interior is ugly.
Looks sharp.

Rumor has it use may extend all the way onto the backside of the valves. j/k.

I don't like the steering wheel, flat top and bottom is not very user friendly when turning, also too many buttons on the steering.

I just hope these are built a little better than the previous generation.
I'd rather have a Ferrari 458.
Pretty sweet!
I'm surprised that the 'purists' are not knocking it for NOT holding as true to the original body lines as it's predecessor.
I LOVE the way it looks, but would also prefer a round steering wheel, or at least a flat on the bottom only steering wheel.
But KUDOS to them for making it suede covered.
With the 'correct' exhaust system, I'd bet they can make it sound d**m cool, despite it being a six banger.
A REAL sequential gearbox option would be wicked as well.

Ha...
J/K...
Looks very cool, can't wait to see what kind of numbers it puts down.
I absolutely love it! I'm surprised it doesn't employ the typical hexagonal Ford grille though. Maybe they're moving away from it?

Interesting. Wonder why they didn't use a different engine, like an ecoboost v8 that gave real top of the line numbers... Weight perhaps?

It sounds like they're almost transplanting the motor out of their Daytona Prototype car right into the GT. But, I don't know, a twin-turbo 5.2L flat-plane V8 would be okay too

No V8?? :^( Ford can keep it.
I have no complaints about a TT V6. it will still be awesome! A TT Flat plane V8 would be incredible though!

Oh, a 600hp engine is real sporty... But a v8 ecoboost would be even more powerful and might have a play in derated form as a v10 replacement.
But it would add mass, which isn't desirable I guess...
