It looks like a stealth fighter, even more so than that Lamborghini whateveritwascalled of yore. I approve.. Again.

700 HP could mean a lot of things. I think the success of the last car might have Ford pushing to go all out with this one. Unfortunately there's going to be a lot of waiting before we see what it can do. My biggest fear right now is that this car sees the same weight bloat the Z06 did.

I'm now thinking this thing will be giving the elites (P1, LaF, 918, etc) quite a slugging, just like the 2005 car did. Also, this looks far more sinister wearing that flat grey than any Lambo has.

Is the Ford GT going to be ready for Lemans in time if they are going to enter ? I don't think they should it's a bit like Lamborghini racing in F1. The Ford GT is going to cost $400,000 
and the old one cost $140,000 ? The interior is boring and dark and has to many things on the steering (come on Ford it's not a F1!) wheel. the seats look like they are from a 90's sports car 
and why is the air-conditioning on the door like the Jaguar XJ220 ? Why is their no V8 you don't buy a Ford GT to save the polar bears.
Why are cars getting so feminine ?

Most likely. Willing to bet the road and race cars have been developed together.
No it isn't. This is linking to their heritage, Lamborghini's F1 efforts went against their heritage so...
Tech, inflation etc. Not that unusual...The Ford GT is going to cost $400,000
Probably be able to spec the interior in different colours, and it seems to work for Ferrari so... yeah.
And...? As long as it holds the driver in place it doesn't really matter that much.
What's the problem with that?
No, but Ford maybe thinks the car needs to he a product of this decade rather than a relic of the past. Hence why it isnt another retro-pastiche of the original Ford GT.
They're not, would be a perfectly decent answer. In fact, i'd say the opposite, pretty much every sector you can think of is dominated by aggressive styling and "fighter jet" influences.

If you're in the market for a brand new supercar, a couple of 100 thousand probably won't be a massive problem.The Ford GT is going to cost $400,000
And more comfortable than in the 2005 GT.
And that's a bad thing?
What is this even supposed to mean?

A concrete bunker has a nicer interior than the 2005 GT.
The new interior looks alright, though. Comfortable and of good quality, but not very special.They're not entering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans#Entry_list
Why should the cost of the old one have any bearing on this one? A GT40 cost $18,500 when new, should the new car cost $18,500 as well?The Ford GT is going to cost $400,000
Because a turbo V6 can generate more usable power and performance.
You can't be serious?

I must say that I definitely don't find the interior boring, it's very simple but beautifully designed. Also I love the xj220 style air conditioning position. And the 90s seats (possibly my favourite part of the interior).

Why is everyone going on about the GT's aircon being like the XJ220? It's in the engine bay like most other cars
