GT [Official] Ford GT (2017-

[sako97]

So this GT is going up for auction... naturally Ford is pissed and trying to stop it. This spec is so weak inside-out, it almost looks bland. 7 miles means it wasn't driven at all by previous owner.

I am going to assume the spec is so bland because the guy wanted to get the car ASAP and flip it right after, but my other thought was that if he is planning to do this all along, why not wait a little, order a higher spec car so he can sell it for a higher price? For all of Ford's customer selection procedure, they still picked the "bad eggs"

You'd think when given the opportunity to spec a car in this class, you'd go bananas.

Insane. Probably would've went over $2mill if it had carbon wheels and a more interesting color - like the candy apple red, or heritage stripes.

New price 450 000 $ , so almost four times more. Not bad...

How is this possible? For that kind of money....it is insane to spend on this car.

Yeah, half way to a Chiron.

The TRS guy from Bahrain, who is buying up every new hypercar and owns the silly Sweeptail, reportedly bought 6(!) Ford GT's second-hand for around $2mill each. Crazy.

Why does anyone need that many GT's? For him and his friends?

Or somebody with a strong need to show off and be admired....

He's one of those guys that wants the most expensive & the most of the latest and rarest. It's cool, but at this same time it's a bit of a waste, frankly (trying not to sound like a hater). Reminds a bit of when I went to see Fux's collection in NJ... lots of cars that haven't been started in years. Also, it's almost all 21 century cars.

The only time the cars really come out is when it time for one of the YT/IG car spotters to do a shoot.

 

[sako97]

lol, give it a break. It's beyond obvious he sold it because he couldn't fit inside.

Ford is no different than Ferrari, actually it is worse with this car. Usually it is customers who sue Ferrari, not the other way around like we see here in Ford's case.

 

[Yaz]

Don't that test fit people?

No, most bought it sight unseen. The were a few seat sizes to select from like the SLR back in the day.

2017 Ford GT With 40 Miles On The Clock Destroyed By Fire

The images confirm that the fire started somewhere in rear or middle of the Ford, likely either in the engine itself, the exhaust system or the surrounding electronics. The blaze appears to have quickly spread, destroying the entire rear and leaving nothing but a pile of wreckage that’s only just recognizable as a powertrain.

 

[sako97]

Electrical fire... total write off. Shame.

The car has stripes, all it needs is black wheels and it would look like this. World better for the cost of painting 4 wheels.
