I've been watching this with interest. Ford has put a ton of money and development into this car. While it's a long shot to think about a repeat of the GT40 domination of the mid/late sixties, I really hope to see it do well at Lemans and on the circuit.

all i have to say is i have some serious goose bumps right now.

So I'm doing a gig in LA (I'm a camera operator for those that don't know).
I walk into the venue and there in front of me is the new GT.
I must have walked around it 10 times. Each time picking up something new.
It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.
It's all about aero and design. There are vents, ducts, ground effects tricks all over it (literally).
The front view is incredible as well as the the rear.
There is not a bad angle on it.
We were not allowed pics under heavy security.
I really can't describe how beautiful it is.
Now, how to come up with 4 or 5 hundred K. :o

"With an asterisk. Ford won't be contesting the overall win next year against the state-of-the-art hybrid prototypes from Porsche, Toyota or Audi. The GT, a carbon-bodied mid-engine sports car powered by a production-based 3.5-liter turbocharged V6, will compete in the GT Endurance Pro Class, the third-tier class after the two prototype classes, with Aston Martin, Corvette and Ferrari. A top-tier prototype (LMP1) program, with multiple cars, has been estimated to cost as much as $1 billion."
