"From its 3.5L EcoBoost® technology "

Love the looks, just hope the power train is up to the job both in performance and character... A car that looks that good needs a monster motor to go with it and 'EcoBoost' just sounds a bit lame / is it derived from the RS & Mustang unit???
Hopefully it sounds better than the race car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uyjGMTHJGM

I think it sounds superb at the end of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvVcusjzUhE

Do production numbers matter that much for the aftermarket value? Obviously, they do if it's properly mass produced, but I imagine the inevitable increase in value will be much the same if they sell 500 over the lifetime of the car or if they sell 1000.

laugh It has all been a bit OTT, hasn't it tongue out

My bet is yes. It'll be tonight's video though before he releases the news. If you search Instagram for #fordgt, there's quite a few letters on there (some not so positive).

Probably due to the exposure it will bring. Not that he deserves it.

I didn't make a special video to be honest. I linked to one with me racing my current GT in the Bahamas and at Le Mans.

All the videos had to be publicly viewable and no more than a minute. Here you go :-

Do you reckon anyone who currently owns one will get allocated one?
