Sharpsdoublerifle.. I dislike the American top gear on BBC American, but oddly liked us top gear with tanner and Rutledge and Adam F. They were awkward the 1st season but they really had good chemistry afterwards.. Better than any current trio outside Clarkson and co
Shahul Usman man I'm with you but still it's just not the same, even tho top gear may have been a good fit for Chris, I feel like it kinda ruined Chris on cars. He gave us more content and depth
At first I refused to watch new top gear but then saw all the cool cars and thought it’s never good as good as it was but it’s still gotta be a good car show. It’s utter garbage this new top gewr
@Kresimir Cosic' - Yes, that is essentially correct. Ford had no experience with prototype endurance cars, so it made sense to start with the Brits who did. Unfortunately, the cars the Brits were involved with didn't even finish the race, 2 years in a row! Henry Ford tired quickly of that and put Shelby American, Inc. in charge of the GT40. They were successful in developing it into a solid winner.

The Ford GT is a phenomenal car and a car that is part of our history , although the new one is a little different Ford has still kept that classy look of the one before . I mean the rear end of the car and front end still have the features of the Old Ford GT- Bravo Ford what a good one.
Good to hear the shout-out to MULTIMATIC ....As said by this driver and others (e.g. Jay Leno) this is a "Chassis Car" and Multimatic designs and builds the amazing Chassis. They also build the Carbon fiber structure of the car and they assemble everything together in Markham Ontario (just outside of Toronto) making this possibly the first Canadian Supercar.
Literally teared up at the beginning, Chris Harris + Neil make the absolute best videos on the planet.... You know what, V6 in a day and age of big power, sounds like the NSX back in 90... Let it prove it self and lets see.
BBC better have something cookin' up for the TopGear Magazine Speed Week (COTY test for TG). I wanna see that Ford dice it up with the Huracan Performante, 720S, and GT2RS, and for Harris and Sabine to test them, among other Speed Week picks. It does look like he tested this immediately after the Huracan, so it could explain why the video's short: rapid-fire testing.
Been waiting for chris to drive this car great car the engine still is the one slight weakness people can't get past that to look at all you get for 450thou. A chassis car not a engine car nice review
Also, it revs to 11,000 RPMs, making it effectively the highest revving production car engine in history (even including cars like the Ariel Atom V8). As Chris said, the EcoBoost engine is really out of steam (like most turbocharged engines) at the top end. On this particular engine, "the top end" is only 6500 RPMs. As compared to a 458 Italia, which is just beginning to hit its stride around 6500 RPMs, or even a Lamborghini Miura from the 1960s (having a V12 of fairly similar displacement to this V6), which doesn't produce peak power until well after 7000 RPMs. And, in 2017, if you're going to have a gasoline engine (as opposed to an electric motor), it better be a good one (which the ecoboost just isn't).
nobody's complaining about the merc's engine because its a new car and it has 11k reving f1 engine which is cool. Ford GT is a legend that had a v8 from the beginning.. and now they took it away and put some eco v6 in. That's why ppl are complaining imo.
the people bitching about it not having a v8 dont understand what made the original so great, it wasnt about the V8, it used the latest tech to make a superior car, and ford does that again, with the full carbon tub and the sick aero on this car, its not always about a v8, and if they had chosen a v8 it would be a VASTLY different car, not the same car we have now

People complaining about the V6. I guarantee that 99 out of 100 wouldn't be be able to tell the difference between this and a small displacement V8. Sounds great.
North Star Ken you clearly have not a clue. You realize two more cylinders and more power equal worse fuel economy, right. Not that it makes a difference. Who the hell buys a car like a Ford GT for fuel economy? Fact is, this car is truly great. I love V8 engines and I'll say that if you're a true car enthusiast, you won't give a rats ass if it's a 6 or an 8 if the car performs like this car does.
Robert Hull " I love V8 engines and I'll say that if you're a true car enthusiast, you won't give a rats ass if it's a 6 or an 8 if the car performs like this car does."

FORD GT is one of the most respectable supercars in all of the world. I be amazed extremely performance and FORD GT 's style! Now we can see only one this car in Japan, Kumamoto prefecture. Though, I thinks very dangerous and difficult to achieving maximum speed of 346km/h because too narrow ways and strictly prohibited by law of road traffic.
People obviously don't know anything about modern technology! Now days you don't need a V8, V10... modern technology allows us to use a smaller engine to produce the same amount of power! This V6 is better more reliable, smaller, lighter, faster and more powerful than the old V8! Sure they could have used a V8 but it didn't fit the design they had in mind so let's get over it.
realtv101 Exactly I believe this engine produces around 184 hp per liter, that is incredible. Considering the p1 without the hybrid system produces what? Like 650-700 hp with a 3.8 liter, correct me if I'm wrong, obviously the total output for the p1 is over 900 hp but I'm talking about the engine only, so the power density isn't far off of that.
realtv101 Exactly, we're in a sense, at the limit of usable power. Once you begin to push past that 700-800 hp limit, you begin to sacrifice handling. However, we're just really starting to see intelligent, innovative areo applied to racecar and hypercars, it was uncommon to see incredible areo 10 yrs ago on cars like the ford gt but most cars have some form of clever areo now. Basically weight,areo,chassis balance is the way to go. I mean look and what areo can do, it turned the viper from a ok car into a track monster.
The first 10 seconds of this vid is why I watch and envy Chris Harris, not only get to drive such vehicals but then thrash them sideways with such confidence.... "just my 9 to 5"
Chris ..you are by far the best presenter driver on the planet.. your enthusiasm is boundless.. the fact your at knockhill and I’m a jock didn’t even swing me.....mibbe a wee bit..😆
I agree with you. I did the same thing...watched "The Secret" over and over but something was missing. Then, I watched these Abraham-Hicks videos and suddenly, I understood! I got approved for a loan for a house that I never could get before. I found the house I wanted. I now live in that house and it was all because I figured out the Law of Attraction. And all this only took less than 2 months! Amazing!
Now just imagine this for a minute The 5.2l Voodoo in the Ford GT with turbos of course most likely I’d be a 700-800hp car a high revving one of course because of the flat plain crank. Ford missed a huge opportunity an American Hyper Car.
Alexander Coburg actually it doesn't lol. Thanks for the lies scub. Ford didn't put a V8 cus the cabin was too small for a V8, so the put a ttv6 that has more power than the supercharged V8 from the 05 gt
This car... with this engine, WON Le MANS....and that was it's main purpose! The build focus for the car was to make it win Le Mans, so engine durability, weight, location of weight and lowest center of gravity possible, etc...etc.. etc... So people that buy this car, have a LE MANS winning Race Car that's road legal...that is special, no matter about engine not being V8. Having said all that, I do wish it sounded a bit better, to match it's looks and performance.
@Daniel Zusse - Be sure about it because the GT has thumped the 911 RSR more than a few times in the GTLM Class. The 911 GT3R runs in the next lower class.
@Jesse Mitchell - It's not a GT 40 and it doesn't need a V8. You want a V8, then buy a '05 or '06 GT. Just don't complain when the TT V6 GT blows your doors off!
@Jesse Mitchell - Wow! You have the same attitude towards change that Henry Ford had...…………..and that attitude almost destroyed the great Ford Motor Co and all it had done to put the average man on the road. "You can have any color you want, as long as it's black." Same mentality as you have! "If it aint broke, don't fix it." You obviously aren't aware that Ford made the latest GT to race first, and be available as a street machine second. Blab all the bullshit you want about the TTV6 - it has beaten bigger Corvette and BMW V8s rather easily in many races over the past 4 years. Guess what dude, manufacturers of racing machines couldn't care less about how the car sounds.....they only care if it wins! Bet you didn't know the highest speed ever attained on the old 3.5 mile Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans was a TT V6 (oooooo, that had to hurt your old school ego!) It was clocked at 252 MPH. Where were all the mighty V8, V10 and V12 cars that surely were faster? Simple - they weren't. Finally, I sure as hell am no millennial. In fact, I'll bet the house that I'm older old school than you are! Make no mistake, I grew up in the muscle car era and, like you, love the sound of a well tuned American V8. That said, I'm more open minded to change than you, as change is a given factor in all of life. The original GT40 was a V8 because Ford needed that many cylinders to beat Ferrari's 12. If you can get the job done with fewer cylinders, lighter weight and more compact size, then that's what we call evolution. The '05 and '06 GTs were designed to be a modern street version of the original GT40. The current GT was not, it was designed only to commemorate the original and further explore aerodynamics, handling and power sources of today. Your old school statement that there is no replacement for displacement shows that you are stuck in a point of time and refuse to change. There IS a replacement and it's called turbocharging, and the GT has proven in its many victories that it is capable of leading V8s home around a road course. Ugly as shit? Each to his own, but I'll guarantee you that the more than 7,000 potential buyers of the car would absolutely disagree, along with millions of others! Count the very positive comments in this video - they outnumber your negative one by 20 to 1! The 550 HP blown V8 in the '05 and '06 GT is soundly beaten by the smaller size, lighter weight TTV6 in EVERY performance category, but you don't want to hear that. You go right on and continue to be lost in the past with your stop light to stop light, 0-60, knuckle dragging mentality. I was that way too, in my teens, only because I didn't know any better. Unlike you, though, I grew up and matured by exploring other more complex and interesting types of auto racing. I'll continue my much more rewarding style of inevitable change and all the positives it can bring about! By the way, if a car should keep with its tradition like you say, then the frickin Vette should have stayed with the ORIGINAL 150 hp Blue Flame 6! Hahaha. To quote you, I'm done with this conversation!
My dad loves watching your videos Chris. Get genuinely excited every time you upload. Have you got any more affordable sports card with 4 seats that you could recommend?
Obviously he's enjoying the feel of the car. But he didn't really give much of an impression on its overall nature. Like a rundown of the cars potential.
Europeans sometimes think american cars are simply inferior to their european counterparts. They thought american cannot make such car. Now here are only one of the few example.
I was worried at first, because the sound at the start didn't contain tyres squealing, but then, in the first shot, Chris is fully sideways again. A classic great review.
I can't understand why someone would buy a McLaren when they've shown to - be unreliable - depreciate - aesthetically pretty ugly (720s is okay, mp4-12c boring like the name) - they are amazing track performers that's about it.
993mike Mclarens are notorious for breaking down and depreciating in value very quickly (cars like the senna and p1 aside). You’ll lose that 100k in depreciation when you go to sell your 720s anyway. The 720 is quite a track monster though!
The FORD GT is one of my all time favorite cars but i would rather have one of the older V8 models. I can't accept this V6 model no matter how hard i try!..................
I'll bet you could accept it just fine if you could ever get in one, strap in and touch that thing off. You do realize that it completely out powers and out performs the supercharged V8 in the previous GT? There's actually a head to head shootout between the two GT's and this little V6 is just insane, it's pure genius and a real work of art since the car was designed specifically for it. There is no room for a V8 in this chassis design, every single inch is designed purposefully and to perfection. Just imagine the guys with the bigger V8, V10 and V12 supercars when they get smoked by the V6 Ford GT 😱🤔🤷♂️😂🤣
@john stranahan - Thanks for that very accurate explanation of this amazing machine! That's the problem, though. People see it's a V6 and they read no further, so they are almost completely clueless about the many technological advancements the GT incorporates.
whiteandnerdytuba ferrari makes inferior cars to this one in everyway engineering looks, build quality ferrari is great at building unreliable cars and Porsche puts 6 cylinders in most of there cars
It doesn't look as beautiful as the classic GT40 (or the 2005 version). Interior is ugly, engine sounds a bit dull. So it has a good chassis, but so does a 488.
Yeah to me the 2005/2006 Ford GT is the most beautiful sports car ever made. This one just looks like something that came from Italy. It lost it's originality.
Norwegian || explain because it no longer has ties to europe. Why the hell do people think anything america has good to offer is bc of europe. Europe is not that great at all. So full of themselves...
"All been sold." Lmao 🙄 okay have at least half even been built yet? Seriously can you imagine if the 675LT took extra years for delivery? We already on the next generation, 720s! I WOULD BE SHOCKED if the 720s wasn't already a nicer(no giant plastic dash), faster, and CHEAPER!!!!! I like the old ford GT I do, but not this one. They ruined it with their attempt to be "upper class"
Hahah only the 1 time, which it only won because of CLEAR BOP boost(aka ford's 2016 Le Mans sponsorship bonus) oh yea and having 4 entries😂 honestly the car itself might be a great performer but still 450k for a dash that looks largely plastic? It should be ENTIRELY carbon fiber because RACECAR right?
AG boki good to know. Haven't watched many videos on it. Looked plastic from the angles in this. I did always know it had a carbon fiber tub cuz racecar.

Now we can see only one this car in Japan, Kumamoto prefecture. Though, I thinks very dangerous and difficult to achieving maximum speed of 346km/h because too narrow ways and strictly prohibited by law of road traffic.
Thank you very much Chris Harris and your team. Thanks for reminding us that life without passion is pointless.
This car is an engineering marvel 😍🤤
People obviously don't know anything about modern technology! Now days you don't need a V8, V10... modern technology allows us to use a smaller engine to produce the same amount of power! This V6 is better more reliable, smaller, lighter, faster and more powerful than the old V8! Sure they could have used a V8 but it didn't fit the design they had in mind so let's get over it.
realtv101 Exactly I believe this engine produces around 184 hp per liter, that is incredible. Considering the p1 without the hybrid system produces what? Like 650-700 hp with a 3.8 liter, correct me if I'm wrong, obviously the total output for the p1 is over 900 hp but I'm talking about the engine only, so the power density isn't far off of that.
Puff the Magic Dragon it's all about the power to weight and engineering not just engine and power
realtv101 Exactly, we're in a sense, at the limit of usable power. Once you begin to push past that 700-800 hp limit, you begin to sacrifice handling. However, we're just really starting to see intelligent, innovative areo applied to racecar and hypercars, it was uncommon to see incredible areo 10 yrs ago on cars like the ford gt but most cars have some form of clever areo now. Basically weight,areo,chassis balance is the way to go. I mean look and what areo can do, it turned the viper from a ok car into a track monster.
It’s also about the symphony the SC V8 makes that people jump into complaining about the V6 TT
How is a v6 more reliable than a v8?
Yeah Very Nice Car !! 👌
The first 10 seconds of this vid is why I watch and envy Chris Harris, not only get to drive such vehicals but then thrash them sideways with such confidence.... "just my 9 to 5"
I love knock hill ,british race tracks in general, small and windy with lots of undulations .
Thanks for the shout out to Multimatic! The Ford GT is put together in Markham, Ontario Canada!
Larry Holt!!
Let's hear it for our good neighbors to the north!
Say what you want about the new Ford GT, just remember, it won the 24 Hours of LeMans. Beating Ferrari, again! Nuff said!
I don't get the sense he loves this car. Not the wild emotional enthusiasm I have seen him show in many other cars on track.
maybe because every video he says the same shit over and over again. how many "wooo whoos" before it gets boring.
Seemed to like it to me.
This car is overrated the entire ford gt40 legacy is overrated
+The.#1 Proper spelling is overrated as well apparently.
most reviewers dont care for it on an emotional level
Seems like he gets bored driving cars with ESC on, and only gets excited when they are turned off.
Camera work is outrageous looks like a video game in 4K special. Then harris delivers
Chris ..you are by far the best presenter driver on the planet.. your enthusiasm is boundless.. the fact your at knockhill and I’m a jock didn’t even swing me.....mibbe a wee bit..😆
I want to hear his opinion about the huracan performante
without doubt an incredible car, deserved to have the same glamor of Ferrari and lamborghini
You the man Chris.
Anyone noticed that it is raining as he criticize the tires all the while doing full power slides into the corners. Bonkers and wild this guy is.
I agree with you. I did the same thing...watched "The Secret" over and over but something was missing. Then, I watched these Abraham-Hicks videos and suddenly, I understood! I got approved for a loan for a house that I never could get before. I found the house I wanted. I now live in that house and it was all because I figured out the Law of Attraction. And all this only took less than 2 months! Amazing!
Now just imagine this for a minute The 5.2l Voodoo in the Ford GT with turbos of course most likely I’d be a 700-800hp car a high revving one of course because of the flat plain crank. Ford missed a huge opportunity an American Hyper Car.
The voodoo engine is not good for road racing, destroys itself. soooooo...
Alexander Coburg actually it doesn't lol. Thanks for the lies scub. Ford didn't put a V8 cus the cabin was too small for a V8, so the put a ttv6 that has more power than the supercharged V8 from the 05 gt
This car... with this engine, WON Le MANS....and that was it's main purpose! The build focus for the car was to make it win Le Mans, so engine durability, weight, location of weight and lowest center of gravity possible, etc...etc.. etc... So people that buy this car, have a LE MANS winning Race Car that's road legal...that is special, no matter about engine not being V8.
Having said all that, I do wish it sounded a bit better, to match it's looks and performance.
@Keloing Hudson - Actually, Ford designed the car AROUND the TT V6, it was anything but an after thought.
@Jesse Mitchell - Ford GT has a throttle sensor mechanism that all but completely eliminates turbo lag.
I want to know if Chris prefers the Ford GT over the Porsche 911 GT 2 or 3 RS.
This is a far better car
The ford beat those cars
@@mikeb769 not sure about that
@Daniel Zusse - Be sure about it because the GT has thumped the 911 RSR more than a few times in the GTLM Class. The 911 GT3R runs in the next lower class.
Life Goal:
Me in a Ford GT at a circuit with six pack Red Bull
@Jesse Mitchell Just buy a 2005 gt then smh
@Jesse Mitchell ford made the 2016 gt to win... the 2005 was a heritage car
@Jesse Mitchell - It's not a GT 40 and it doesn't need a V8. You want a V8, then buy a '05 or '06 GT. Just don't complain when the TT V6 GT blows your doors off!
@Jesse Mitchell - Wow! You have the same attitude towards change that Henry Ford had...…………..and that attitude almost destroyed the great Ford Motor Co and all it had done to put the average man on the road. "You can have any color you want, as long as it's black." Same mentality as you have! "If it aint broke, don't fix it." You obviously aren't aware that Ford made the latest GT to race first, and be available as a street machine second. Blab all the bullshit you want about the TTV6 - it has beaten bigger Corvette and BMW V8s rather easily in many races over the past 4 years. Guess what dude, manufacturers of racing machines couldn't care less about how the car sounds.....they only care if it wins! Bet you didn't know the highest speed ever attained on the old 3.5 mile Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans was a TT V6 (oooooo, that had to hurt your old school ego!) It was clocked at 252 MPH. Where were all the mighty V8, V10 and V12 cars that surely were faster? Simple - they weren't. Finally, I sure as hell am no millennial. In fact, I'll bet the house that I'm older old school than you are! Make no mistake, I grew up in the muscle car era and, like you, love the sound of a well tuned American V8. That said, I'm more open minded to change than you, as change is a given factor in all of life. The original GT40 was a V8 because Ford needed that many cylinders to beat Ferrari's 12. If you can get the job done with fewer cylinders, lighter weight and more compact size, then that's what we call evolution. The '05 and '06 GTs were designed to be a modern street version of the original GT40. The current GT was not, it was designed only to commemorate the original and further explore aerodynamics, handling and power sources of today. Your old school statement that there is no replacement for displacement shows that you are stuck in a point of time and refuse to change. There IS a replacement and it's called turbocharging, and the GT has proven in its many victories that it is capable of leading V8s home around a road course. Ugly as shit? Each to his own, but I'll guarantee you that the more than 7,000 potential buyers of the car would absolutely disagree, along with millions of others! Count the very positive comments in this video - they outnumber your negative one by 20 to 1! The 550 HP blown V8 in the '05 and '06 GT is soundly beaten by the smaller size, lighter weight TTV6 in EVERY performance category, but you don't want to hear that. You go right on and continue to be lost in the past with your stop light to stop light, 0-60, knuckle dragging mentality. I was that way too, in my teens, only because I didn't know any better. Unlike you, though, I grew up and matured by exploring other more complex and interesting types of auto racing. I'll continue my much more rewarding style of inevitable change and all the positives it can bring about! By the way, if a car should keep with its tradition like you say, then the frickin Vette should have stayed with the ORIGINAL 150 hp Blue Flame 6! Hahaha. To quote you, I'm done with this conversation!
633 dislikes? Some people just can't handle the greatness of Chris Harris drifting american supercar.
My dad loves watching your videos Chris. Get genuinely excited every time you upload. Have you got any more affordable sports card with 4 seats that you could recommend?
Obviously he's enjoying the feel of the car. But he didn't really give much of an impression on its overall nature. Like a rundown of the cars potential.
Because he didn't want to criticize the ford GT
I love henry ford his soul is rest in peace 😍😍😍😍😍
You should also love Shelby and miles for this wonderful thing
Europeans sometimes think american cars are simply inferior to their european counterparts. They thought american cannot make such car. Now here are only one of the few example.
engineered and built in Canada
Chris harris is why top gear is still watched.
A sportscar with a truck engine and that too a v6? Nah, i'll pass. Great design though.
So..what exactly do you think Chris? Do you like the ford GT or not?
Nice car
I can't believe people still watch Top gear without Jeremy, Richard and May
I was worried at first, because the sound at the start didn't contain tyres squealing, but then, in the first shot, Chris is fully sideways again.
A classic great review.
You are one Amazing driver who can push the car to its limit.
Can’t understand why someone would spend $100K more than a 720S for one of these things, especially with that engine.
720s doesn't look as good
993mike because there’s tons of Mclarens out there and there will be tons more. The Ford gt is special
I can't understand why someone would buy a McLaren when they've shown to
- be unreliable
- depreciate
- aesthetically pretty ugly (720s is okay, mp4-12c boring like the name)
- they are amazing track performers that's about it.
993mike Mclarens are notorious for breaking down and depreciating in value very quickly (cars like the senna and p1 aside). You’ll lose that 100k in depreciation when you go to sell your 720s anyway. The 720 is quite a track monster though!
Ford won a world championship with a pick up truck engine.
Can you believe they put a Ford GT engine in a pick up truck? Gotta love Ford
This is a car that will still look cool on the road 50 years from now, timeless design..."Yeshua/Jesus is the way"
This car won't last 10 years.
RW Normal cars don’t last that long. But this car is an engineering masterpiece. It will last
Which maybe begs the question, "What would Jesus drive?" 🙏
Alcyone K the Viper, because your saying: “Jesus take the wheel!!!” every time you take it out.
i could listen to chris harris all day
All TG Chris Harris videos should be longer.
More time with Chris talking, more time with Chris driving.
The back of this car looks like a pig from angry birds...
Dilshod Sabirov i love the back
Ur a pig
Lol jk
Just messin
Disho Sabirov. Jealous much?
I'm not watching this.
Just give me one damnit.
The FORD GT is one of my all time favorite cars but i would rather have one of the older V8 models. I can't accept this V6 model no matter how hard i try!..................
I'll bet you could accept it just fine if you could ever get in one, strap in and touch that thing off. You do realize that it completely out powers and out performs the supercharged V8 in the previous GT? There's actually a head to head shootout between the two GT's and this little V6 is just insane, it's pure genius and a real work of art since the car was designed specifically for it. There is no room for a V8 in this chassis design, every single inch is designed purposefully and to perfection. Just imagine the guys with the bigger V8, V10 and V12 supercars when they get smoked by the V6 Ford GT 😱🤔🤷♂️😂🤣
@john stranahan - Thanks for that very accurate explanation of this amazing machine! That's the problem, though. People see it's a V6 and they read no further, so they are almost completely clueless about the many technological advancements the GT incorporates.
My nephew has the Ford truck with the same engine and it will haul ass! It’s impressive
Not quite the same engine
Who missis the old real genuine top gear.
The old top gear with the legendary 3 did its job it entertained millions of people.
Ferrari should put a v6 in its next hypercar since it just doesn't matter .....
whiteandnerdytuba hahahahaha I'm in tears
whiteandnerdytuba ferrari makes inferior cars to this one in everyway engineering looks, build quality ferrari is great at building unreliable cars and Porsche puts 6 cylinders in most of there cars
They put a V6 in their F1 car...
Actually, I think the Aston Martin Valkyrie is the closest you'll get to a race car for the road.
It doesn't look as beautiful as the classic GT40 (or the 2005 version). Interior is ugly, engine sounds a bit dull. So it has a good chassis, but so does a 488.
Yeah to me the 2005/2006 Ford GT is the most beautiful sports car ever made. This one just looks like something that came from Italy. It lost it's originality.
@Dean Warnell2 - While the '05 and '06 GT is stunning, this car with a V6, not a V8, will absolutely destroy those cars.
Really interesting to see someone who loves to slide around as much as Chris drive this focused car
Beautiful 57 year old First 1966 Gt40's Mk3 , Middle >.2005 GT ,Modern 2017 Ecoboost engine and big Air brake wing.
The most european american car!
Norwegian || explain because it no longer has ties to europe. Why the hell do people think anything america has good to offer is bc of europe. Europe is not that great at all. So full of themselves...
That would be the C7...which isnt a good thing.
Sav Kvd says the guy who is american lol atleast we dont have trump
Aliasi_ || 👆spotted the European 👆
spotted the american^
"All been sold." Lmao 🙄 okay have at least half even been built yet? Seriously can you imagine if the 675LT took extra years for delivery? We already on the next generation, 720s! I WOULD BE SHOCKED if the 720s wasn't already a nicer(no giant plastic dash), faster, and CHEAPER!!!!! I like the old ford GT I do, but not this one. They ruined it with their attempt to be "upper class"
attempt to be upper class? the goal of this car was to win le mans, and it did.
Hahah only the 1 time, which it only won because of CLEAR BOP boost(aka ford's 2016 Le Mans sponsorship bonus) oh yea and having 4 entries😂 honestly the car itself might be a great performer but still 450k for a dash that looks largely plastic? It should be ENTIRELY carbon fiber because RACECAR right?
it is, in most videos they say the dash is all carbon fiber and it is an estructural part of the car
AG boki good to know. Haven't watched many videos on it. Looked plastic from the angles in this. I did always know it had a carbon fiber tub cuz racecar.
This is correct
I wish it had a V8.
what does it matter? you'll never own one or even drive one lmao
they are all sold that's how
they'll be selling for about 200k in about 5 years he could probably afford it some owners are already putting them up for sell
Daniel Sadjadian No, that'd be horrible
Daniel Sadjadian why you couldn't handle it
Honestly some of these shots are so clean and perfect I can't tell if I'm looking at Top Gear or the latest Forza game.
I wish this was forza, god that car is gorgeous
Neil Carey.....you select the best music for these videos. Bravo chap! Chris is lucky to have you.
