The 2016 Ford GT
A Smoother, Faster, More Italian-like remake of the Standard Ford GT.

While the original 2005 Ford GT performed well it tended to break down, and the power apparently wasn't fast enough for buyers who got so angry they gave up on their cars. After a long eleven year wait Ford has decided to make a new Ford GT that has a smoother body, is faster, and even looks a little more Italian. However I've heard that this new Ford GT will be $125,000 approximately. This makes it about fourteen or fifteen thousand dollars more expensive than the original. However I think this extra price is reasonable not just because of the extra power and new look but because it has...hold it...Lamborghini-style swing up doors. Some might say this is sacrilege since it was the old GT40 that showed the Italians, particularly Ferrari, that we can compete on their level or sometimes better. But you have to remember the GT40 had a British body making it not all-American. But enough of this. It's time for you to read what a random American bloke has to say about this controversial car.
The 2016 Ford GT is an all-American supercar equipped with what's believed to be twin-turbochargers for Ecoboost reasons or a modified version of the 5.2 liter flat-crank Shelby GT350 engine with more powaaaahhhhh. Nobody really knows at the moment. However what I can tell you is that it's estimated that the 2016 Ford GT will have 200 plus top speed and get to 60 mph in approximately 3 seconds. The engine, whatever it will be, will either be coupled to a manual gearbox possibly with a stick shift or a paddle-shift automatic for competition purposes. The car will most likely be rear-wheel drive.
Another interesting and also very scary thing people are saying about this car is that it will abandon the old GT40 aviation look of the interior for something more modern and technological. This is likely to anger traditionalists badly. The interior will probably have leather, aluminum, and a carbon fiber trim. One or two LCD screens are also expected.
Let's hope this car appeals to the majority of people who see it. I honestly like that America is becoming a little more European, specifically Italian, with their cars but I'm sure there are also a lot of people on Earth who don't like that.
