New Ford GT review - attacking the Arctic Circle Raceway in Ford's Supercar | evo REVIEW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- It would be all-too easy to introduce Ford’s new £450,000 supercar with endless references to yesteryear - because we all know where the story for the Ford GT began. Henry Ford tries to buy Ferrari to win at Le Mans in the 1960s, Enzo says get stuffed, Henry builds his own version of a Ferrari to do the job instead - called the GT40 - and puts one right up Enzo, the end.
Or, in fact, just the very beginning for the Ford GT as things would turn out.
Except there’s an intriguing new story doing the rounds about the birth of the latest Ford GT, and it only came to light at the car’s launch recently in the US. Because initially Ford wasn't going to build a new GT at all, it seems. Instead it wanted to return to Le Mans with a Mustang, and to then create a road car on the back of the racing project to market the Mustang globally.

The production value of this is fantastic, great job EVO. So very enjoyable to watch.
Coulnd't agree more! Hats off to the crew that made this, amazing work!
Very pretty indeed.
However personally I don't think they even need to make videos with this high production values.
I mean couple of videos with this caliber vs more proper reviews with less expense and I think I would prefer the latter. Also I think the actual technical content was little thin apart from eye candy.
Flying a drone around and adding some classical music on top of the shots for 50% of the video is production value? Ok then.
THE HOST IS AS YELLOW AS THE CAR
Give your drone pilot a Christmas bonus
CrossedUpChris ! Yes
Absolutely
And higher frame rate camera please!
+1 the view in this is absolutely amazing.
Thanks... sadly I didn't get one haha
The camera work is just sublime. This is so awesome. Incredible work congrats!
Camera work is great. Editing is shark-jumping. Don't need to slow down the action on every turn.
amazing cinematography ...
Erwin Tjia Any DJI or Xiaomi drone can get this footage, come on..
I don't think you know what cinematography is. It has little to do with the type of camera or equipment.
Took the words out of my mouth
Literally just about to say that
Yep that was god damn beautiful, ending left me speechless.
Wow. One of the best car videos I have ever seen in my life. That drone work and the scenery was of the scale.. Excellent work. Excellent presenter. 👍
Put this in for an academy award. Wow!
dont shit its automotive video not holywood movie
lmao, camera on a heli = award
Absolutely blown away with this video. Amazing work - beautifully filmed and captured.
Did you guys ever do the ford gt
Epic footage! - Epic Car. A lot of negative bias towards American cars over the years - some justified and some not - Surely this GT does not deserve hard criticism but appraise for being a non compromise super sports car - Nearly everybody has been talking about low weight, getting rid of Hybrid systems and make no nonsense driver cars - This is exactly what the GT is. And it is also an immensely successful exterior design that combines full contemporary Aero and deep carved styling while maintaining clear DNA signatures from the Ford GT heritage.
Personally I think it would be criticized a lot less if Ford hadn't gone bat shit crazy with the pricing. It's a great car, but it's a hard sell to pay $450k for a Ford, esp with a V6 engine that shares all too many components with a truck, or Flex.
Such a hard sell,,,that they are making double the amount, to to quell some of the unhappy folk who missed out on one,,,,haha !!
The only problem with the car is the way Ford treated their loyal customers. Many die-hard Ford collectors missed out on the GT to likes of UA-camr's and celebrities.
Ford should have made 10 times what they did. Then the selling price could have been a lot more reasonable, they wouldn't have pissed off loyal wealthy customers, and they wouldn't have had to force reviewers to treat them like fine china, and not allow actual laps.
If sales of the Ford GT were bad it was probably because people were like "not paying $150k for a Ferd!". So naturally Ford's response was to make the new GT $450k.
This is what beautiful to me. When you see the connection between the car and the nature or when you see a supercar is surrounded by the nature & it reflects with how beautiful the car personality in the nature. Bright supercar in the middle and the landscape is wherever you look, I just call it supercar connection with the nature !!!!
The POV lap with the turn-by-turn commentary is revolutionary... Please KEEP THIS UP! Incredible stuff!!!
Came here to say the exact same thing! I’m usually not a fan of watching flying laps since they have zero context for us watching at home… but doing it this way *really painted a picture of the intricate dance that went into creating that lap time. So cool to see!!
This video makes me ask: Why can I only give 1 thumbs up?
Great car, great roads (very long trip by the way!) and fantasic editing.
I was thinking the same.
The production quality is just mind blowing. What a fantastic job guys!!
Damm good video Steve and one of the best Ford GT reviews out there. A lot of hard work went into putting together this quality item I am sure!!
Loved this review. Truly the American Supercar that is worthy of the name!
This video just propels you into an exotic time warp where you simply loose count of minutes passed. Every aspect of this video from the cinematic shots to the calm tone of the presenter were amazing & of course the star of the show, the worthy successor of the legendary Ford GT gliding over the tarmac was an absolute joy to watch. Keep up the good work guys, you deserve more recognition.
I remember seeing this video from the Ford Europe channel. The audio/video cinematics are great, amazing even.
I just have issues that Ford chose the Arctic Circle Raceway for this. As it's a fairly unknown track, at least for actual track times. The top 5 cars before the Ford GT took the crown?
Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro (Mk I)
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII
Toyota Celica TS
Mazda RX-8
Dodge Ram SRT-10
Yes. That's a 2,300+ kg heavy truck with the 5th fastest time around that track. And a ~190 hp Celica as the third fastest time.
I'm not saying that the Ford GT time isn't impressive. I'm saying that Ford really picked the low-hanging fruit when they choose this track to run it at.
GlassBomb XD. The celica....that 190bhp did dirt to the rx8 though
music by Mark Petrie in case you were wondering
This video is a pure work of art. It’s been 3 years and I keep coming back to watch it over and over again.
I'm coming back over and over again to watch this. Not only because of the car but mainly because of this beautiful piece of art you have created around it. Hold on to your visual director very hard. He is going to shoot for the stars
Steve, open your own channel. You are the reason why I watch whatever fucking video you're in... Why do you need to be on different shows instead of your own? You're epic!
EVO you need to make a comeback in 2018. You guys used to have the best reviews. Now you barely put any reviews out. Have to resort to Autocar and Carfection and the likes.
This has to be one of the best filmed car review intros I've ever seen. BRAVO!!
A piece of art. The video, and the car. Amazing. Thanks
Epic video. But, Steve, you forgot to say "blimey".
Stephen Harrington He said "funky" instead!
And as always “really” ...
Still keeping the 'utterly' count well into the thousands along with Catchpole and Bovingdon. Great video, though. Fantastic shots.
whoever framed the shots around the 2 minute mark deserves a medal absolutely brilliant
edit- now that ive watched the whole thing, its amazing. give the production guys a raise.
Song at very beginning?
I actually have to comment another time. That's how much I liked this video.
The music combined with those spectacular shots is especially fantastic.
This may be the best video of 2017.
Everything is perfect. Car, roads, track, music, commentary, scenery, sound, editing. Thank you EVO!!
Thank you EVO for sharing amazing videos like this !!!!!
I honestly thought this channel had died. I'm glad it hasn't, this is up there with the best evo content.
I love the look of this car. For me probably the best looking performance car, not too fussy & the black on yellow paint... unadulterated pure car porn.
I act like this car doesn't even exist since is has no clutch and a V6. No amount of technology makes up for the 3.5 liter displacement difference between this and an LS7 Corvette.
TwisTed Taipan good for you i guess
I’ve been watching car videos since before UA-cam. Your videos are the most breathtaking, most dramatic, most stunning videos on the Internet.
Literally the best of the best of the BEST.
Incredible video! The director, director of photography, the whole crew deserve a lot of credit. Every shot a gem. Hope you all get a lifetime supply of supercars and unlimited budgets to film them.
Without hyperbole this is one of the best shot car reviews out there. Utterly beautiful and excellent cinematography!
A truly amazing work of art. This IS the car we dreamed of when we were little boys...and this a masterpiece that only comes around once in a lifetime. I am just pleased that it happened in my lifetime. Great job Ford!!!
This video has been sitting on my "watch later" list for over a year. Now I've finally watched it. Great car, great scenery, great reviewer: what an exquisite viewing experience!
Beautiful vid perfectly done the scenery the presenter the car wow
Allen Saunders and the punctuation. Oh wait...
Matthew Hall You don't have to read the comment.
Why this video doesn't have millions of views is a shame. The BEST automotive video I've ever seen on UA-cam.
Incredible video.
Hold up wait a minute mumbo is HERE?
Excellent quality of the video - from the outstanding camera work, to the clear, concise narration and even the choice of background music - it contributed to a wonderful presentation all around! Great job to all involved!
I love the sound design leading up to Mucke's laps, hinting at a Godzilla-like power!
I guess this is the first time I'm crying at a car video. This cinematography and location scouting is ungodly!
The score for the end sequence was awesome!! Love the Sutcliffe videos!
I don’t know who took over as editor, but this was hands down the best Evo vid ever from a production standpoint. Easily
Damn this was amazing to watch I almost started tearing up. The same view i always play in when im playing GT on PS4 =)
Do you ever do the cockpit view?? I find that seeing the hood gives me a better overall perspective.
I drive better in cockpit view but less ballsy so my lap times end up being worse. I play Forza on Xbox and I'm in the top 1% in the world on everything.
Fuvk ps4
This was beautifully shot and put together. The yellow GT against the cold Norwegian scenery just popped too. I love this car, it's so dramatic and gorgeous to look at, and you guys really showed that here too!
+EVO It would be really nice if you could link the music in the description box.
+1 for this. the opening tracks sound like maybe a hans zimmer soundtrack
N Dawkins I did think there were elements of Craig Armstrong.
Track playlist
Darude
Sandstorm
Emmanuel Selvas oh you are funny
The music playing in harmony with the shots when the GT is about to race is the music from the trailer of Godzilla... which is very funny to me ! But I've got to say, there's no problem in that, the GT is really a beast, even if it will never bear the name Godzilla !
I'm 30% of the way through this video, and I can assuredly say this is the best piece of work you've ever made available to the world. Well done, boys.
What music is being played at the start of the video please
On Home Leave - Luke Richards
Also included is Redemption - Mark Petrie
Truly captivating soundtrack..
What a Masterpiece! One of the best video EVO ever made! Amazing Car, amazing cinematography, amazing camera work. As a petrolhead and amateur photographer this video made me feel goosebumps every second :D
I really hope to see the backstage of the video, it would be fantastic to learn how you made it.
Probably the best presented, filmed and edited car review I've seen on UA-cam. You guys have nailed it!
Wow, I think this is THE BEST UA-cam content I have ever seen on UA-cam. Amazing car, amazing cinematography,amazing sound work, amazing job Steve, always enjoy your work. Keep up the good work....
Probably, best ever Evo video. Stunning location. What a place to build a track. I thought the run-offs rather short, then it was mentioned!
Less than five minutes in and I have to Like and comment. This is perfect work. Thank you for the kind of quality that viewers didn't even have high enough standards to ask for. BIG thumbs-up!
What is the name of the music used in the begining of the video ?
Abdullah Ali darude - sandstorm
Emmanuel Selvas what about the one at 07:20
The production value of these, and indeed very many other car and automotive channels', videos is becoming absolutely incredible. I didn't have to pay a penny to enjoy this, I feel like I've stolen it. Brilliant.
Brilliant video! That GT's v6 sounds monstrous.
Not as monstrous as a supercharged 5.4 liter V8. Go watch ONE gen 1 Ford GT video and you'll delete this comment. The car literally sounds like my V6 Camry with a muffler delete.
dont care, this has more horse power than the old gt
Simply stunning location! Simply stunning car. The camerawork: Wonderful! Altogether explicit! This has got to be the most visually stunning automotive video document I have ever seen. Fantastic job, EVO.
AMAZING DRONE PILOT!!
Every cinematographer that worked on this need bonuses and huge contracts because that, that was beautiful
One of the best review ever done... The man, the nature and this masterpiece. We can almost not feel but touch the passion....
Well produced video. Fantastic to watch.
The little Gran Turismo ding as he started the first racing interation was a nice touch. Great film!
Bravo!! This was one of the very best video's put together for a car review. Most tend to be advertisements for the manufacturer (ie; Motor Trend), this was more entertaining then advertising and the cinematic effects were right on point. For a car guy, this is what I want to see in a car video. Well done!
the car, the footage, Norway, the race mode, I love everything about this video
Raising the UA-cam bar a few more notches Evo...crazy impressive work you guys! This video is immense.
Thank you and merry Xmas.
Absolutely stunning review....the locations are just gorgeous,the car is just brilliant and bgm and narration are mind-blowing...one of the finest video in the automobile history...hands down😍😍
Although EVO needs help with the digital edition of it’s monthly “mag” in only needs to make sure it never looses Steve to any of the competition, he is who Clarkson and Harris wish they are, simply the best in the Biz and congrats to all of those who helped make this stunning video.
WoW Superbement produit ! Merci !
2:20 Music is Redemption by Mark Petrie
Definitely a re-upload but i'll watch it again no problem :D Thanks Evo!
This may be the most visually stunning auto video I've ever seen. Well done! You've out done the big boys!
The lap record was set by a Mk1 Audi R8 with a 4.2 V8... Put a modern sports car on that track and give us some context. Ford probably found a track with crummy records to protect their darling GT.
It's ridiculous...seems like Ford doesn't want the truth to get out about it...even the grand tour didn't say anything about it or track it...
Thomas Perez they said they tracked one in a later episode. I'm guessing this location was chosen for it's beauty. There are many more well known tracks than this
Joel Schembri Agreed. That R8 is over 10 years old at this point and was never meant to be an all out track machine. They had the GT on a track in Canada and it beat a 675 LT by 1 second and a 458 by 2 seconds. But the drivers were unknown and those are the only records the track recorded.
Joel Schembri Definitely agree there as well. But the 488 is a good $100,000 less expensive than the GT and isn’t supposed to be the “all out race car” that the GT is. I’m disappointed that Ford is playing these silly games. The previous GT was a real honest under dog and people still adore them.
Ford could build a flying car and some people would still talk shit about it. Whatever!!!
That last shot was gorgeous with that red glare... just beautiful.
You guys rock! Beautifully shot, edited, written, etc. EVO vids are the best, thank-you very much :-).
The beauty of Norway combined with the beauty of the Ford GT made this whole video absolutely breathtaking. Well done Evo
Wow just wow. The cinematography of this video has to be the best I've ever seen from a car review.
Beautiful review, and the background music was amazing. Reminded me of the movie Da Vinci Code's music in the latter part of the film.
this is an amazing review. The crew involved with the cinematography deserve huge praise... the opening alone is mesmerizing... top work boys.
EDIT: Seriously this review is the best I have ever seen... it is going to be really fucking hard to top this one... you could have thrown a ford mondeo in there, it would still be among the best reviews ever...
Stunning video!!!
The soundtrack, presenter, photography, narrative, scenery and, of course, the GT... all come together to make a video that's sure to ignite passion even among non-motorheads...
If this production is not art at its best, I'm not sure what is!
This is amazing!!! The lap commentary was perfect! I'd pay to watch this in 4k - absolutely brilliant guys!
holy shit this camerawork is insane
A beautiful episode. Thank you @Evo. Amazing cinematography and Auto Journalism
By far the best filmed and edited EVO video ive ever seen. Please keep these up!
Top content, the camera, coloring, sound and cut .... wow! And the beauty of Norway and GT just perfectly blends all together.
This is beautifully shot !!! The cinematography is breathtaking !!! I was glued to the screen whole time..!! Great job !!
This is a video I wouldn't mind paying for. The production values are off the charts, camera work is just superb.
This is one of the best montage I’ve ever seen! My god it looked like a Hollywood blockbuster movie. I love it. And the Ford GT looks better than ever. Great car and great review. Thank you guys for the amazing job!
I wondered where this guy went, think he used to be on Autocar, one of the best reviewers EVER, period, hands down...love his stuff
As a Norwegian, i got touched by this. Intro gave me chills!
Give your film editor a bonus! Absolutely fantastic video!
Wow, that final shot at the end with the sunset is truly stunning...
This is quality on par with the old top gear film crew. Hats off to you guys. Amazing job!!!
That sunset at the end is like nothing I've ever seen before.
This easily matches (old) Top Gear quality with the story to match. Superb cinematography, agree with others, we need more of this and it needs more attention!
Exceptional drone flying and camera work. The best I've seen, anywhere, ever. Give those guys a raise.
Thank you!
The production value of this video is simply superb.
Steve Sutcliffe! I used to watch all of his videos on Autocar, and was disappointed when he disappeared from there. Will it drift? Great to see you back, Steve!
I played that intro over about 9 times b4 proceeding to watch this stunning production.
Production is off the charts. Definitely fond of the passionate but calm narration too.
Fell a little tear when I saw that astonishing GT in the midnight sun on the Atlantic ocean road.
2:03 look at that menacing and striking shadow silhouette. OMG!
