The new GT is the sickest car Ford has ever made

If the ridiculous mob that formed around the car this morning is any indication, the new Ford GT is going to be one hell of a car.

The successor to Ford’s famed line of GT models — most recently produced in the mid-aughts — the latest GT uses a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 making over 600 horsepower. Designed to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the car will go into production late next year for sale in “select global markets” — and needless to say, it won’t be cheap.

It’s not all engine, though; there’s technology here, too. Ford is quick to note that the recently introduced Sync 3 system will be included on the GT, which is made primarily of carbon fiber and aluminum.

We’ll have more on the GT soon — but in the meantime, check out all our coverage of the show.
