The GT350R looks like a GTR..
Love it all, but could they have picked a more hideous color for the auto show? What creative nitwit decided an off-blue that almost looks pastel would be a good thing on a stage?
I really hope there's some form of hybrid system in the FGT they're not telling us about (yet) or they're slow playing the drastically low weight.
Otherwise I just don't see how this commands the pricing rumored on GT forums.
Viper GTS
Limited edition, insane amounts of power, low weight supercar...and you don't know how it'll sell out at $XXX,XXX? Who do you think it's geared towards?

No way, screw the new hybrid supercars.
I much prefer the new hybrid supercars. Using an electric motor to fill in the torque gaps of a ICE is a brilliant use of technology. Using an electric motor to power the car and an ICE to recharge it so you can get have good fuel economy is the awful thing!

I have no doubts (or objections really) that it will be six figures, what I take issue with is the suggestion that a V6 powered Ford can get Aventador level prices. Also, 600hp is not insane these days when Ford itself has released a 662hp Mustang for <$60k.
Granted this is complete guesswork of strangers in a strange forum that I've never visited before the last few days. It could be completely wrong, and likely is.
Normally I agree, I'm just trying to reconcile all the information floating around. Much of which is probably wrong, but then again a week ago a new GT was pure rumor too.

Not sure how I feel about all that plastic on the front end of the GT. I would expect that on a Focus or a Mustang, but not in a high end car. Everything else looks good.
Not sure what I think of that new Raptor yet. A twin-turbo v6 seems somehow... wrong.
