Ford Gt

One of the cool things about the Shelby GT350R is that it comes with carbon fiber wheels. While they get the weight benefits, the one downside was that its wheels were painted black so you couldn’t see the carbon fiber.

Earlier this week, the configurator for the Ford GT went live allowing us to scope out our fantasy rides. We have known for a while that Ford is handpicking the people that it will allow to buy a Ford GT and that there would be an application process for those who want one.

Many people, when they purchase their first Ferrari, opt for the red exterior color with the tan leather interior. Why? Because it’s a classic Ferrari color and it’s the color everyone wants. And since many Ferrari buyers don’t actually drive their cars, but look at them as investments, getting the most popular color makes sense.

With an estimated $400,000 price tag and only 500 Ford GT cars being sold to the public over the next two years, it will be hard to buy one of these awesome looking supercars. That means that as close as most of us will get to owning one of these cars is playing with the configurator that has just gone live.

The 24 hour endurance race at Le Mans every year is one of the biggest races on the planet. But unlike other racing events, you have to be invited to participate. Even though Ford built the Ford GT racing cars to race at Le Mans, there was no guarantee that they’d be allowed to run.

Ferrari is rather infamous for its buyer vetting process for cars, and it looks like Ford may be taking a page from the Italian automaker’s book. It turns out that you can’t simply plunk down cash to buy the new Ford GT.

At the upcoming 2016 North American International Auto Show in Detroit this January, you will be able to get your hands on a free Ford GT. Granted it’s not the real thing that you can drive, just a snap together model kit.

If you have held an iPhone or other high-end smartphone in the last several years, you are familiar with Gorilla Glass from Corning. That is the most popular and one of the most durable glass covers for displays out there.

Ford has announced that the 2017 Ford GT supercar has been chosen as the official car of CES 2016. As such, the car will be on display at CES 2016 in all its swoopy and sexy glory.

It’s only fifty seconds long, but this clip of Ford Performance testing out the new Ford GT is definitely enough to get gearheads drooling. Watch this prototype GT tear up the track at Daytona, and provide us with a feast for both our eyes and ears.

We have known all along that the new Ford GT would be a very limited edition car. With a price estimated around $400,000, you might not expect there to be much of a line waiting to buy them but they will undoubtedly sell out fast anyhow.

I was in Dearborn, Michigan years back for an event at Ford, and the thing that most surprised me was just how many test cars were rolling around town. Everywhere I looked it seemed that a car covered in camo of one form or another was on the street.

You can’t simply design and build a car and toss it on the track in a major racing event, then hope for the best. Race cars have to be developed to ensure that they can stand up to the rigors of life at high speeds in traffic.

There are many models made along the way as new cars come together. There are clay models, full scale prototypes, and foam sculpts among others. Here, we get a time-lapse look at the foam model being sculpted for the sexy beast that is the 2016 (or is it 2017?)

1966 was a watershed moment for Ford, when the GT40 trounced Ferrari at its own game at Le Mans. What’s more, it went on to do it three more times in ’67, ’67 and ’69. It was revenge for Enzo backing out on a deal, and Henry Ford II wanted Il Commendatore never to forget it.
