I'm from Saudi Arabia, and can confirm that no, everyone here would rather buy a Land Cruiser or an old ass and expensive Toyota. And no, we don't use these cars for sabotages.
I wonder if it's in track mode does the belt still chime... if it does I think its silly for offering harness mounts yet the belt will chime if you don't plug the regular belt in ...
Scott I I disagree. Doug has been getting way to friendly to the manufacturers recently. He does this to get mor cars to review as the manufacturers know he'll give a good review-its a win win but we don't get a real review. The only bad comment he made was the standard: "it's bumpy"
@Conor Chambers -- what manufacturers? I can't remember the last time I filmed with a manufacturer-provided car. Also, I paid my own way to Utah for this review.
Doug, the kind of guy who magically goes from racing harness only (11:36) to racing harness & the regular seat belt & possibly condom (11:37) in 1 second.
This is by far the finest car of 2018. It breathes the love and enthusiasm of everyone envolved in creating this piece of art. And it is so far ahead, in any aspect of design, of any super car of its generation. Seeing it initially in Le Mans this year can only be described as an honest "experience". Just everything right, almost perfect, with this, maybe the most emotional car of the passed 17 years.
@@V_For_Vigilante As a console person since 15 years, i say, that gaming PCs are the best thing (except for PS exclusives). They are Console + PC in one. You don't need upgrades if you buy good parts in thr first place and even if you need upgrades, they're cheaper than getting the newest console. How is that trash? There may be some compromises but it doesn't make it trash.
Not Hitler - Go to V.I.R. (Virginia International Raceway) Aug 23-25 and you'll see the 2 Ford/Chip Ganassi Race Team Ford Gts on the track. In the last 2 races they placed 1st and 3rd at Lime Rock Park and 1st and 2nd at Road America.
I see a lot of people hating about the interior and the v6 engine. Ford has built this car for the track and not for people to enjoy on a McDonalds Drive-thru. I also can't understand why people are refusing to accept that smaller engines with new technologies can produce more power than bigger ones, with less weight. If you want a noisy v8 then buy a muscle car, this isn't one. There is thousands of engineers building this masterpiece, testing it, pushing it to the limits and you come say your Honda sounds better, pathetic. Each brand and car has its forces and weaknesses but we've all got to admit that Ford has done an AMAZING job with the GT. The design only makes up for its flaws. Enjoy your day fellas
you say they built it for the track, but still they're making sacrifices in order for it to be street legal... seems just a bit pointless, no? why not just go all out and make it a full-blooded racecar then. 500k is also a very bold price tag for this imo.
oaamrane i agree plus the reason i hate the 2005 GT was that it was too "American" to be a supercar and I would rather have 2017 GT or the Saleen S7 over that car.
@@jotarokujo6562who really cares besides you and people obsessed with speed? Maybe you just like car history and supercar design. If someone wanted a fast car they could've got a number of things that look ugly as shit but go fast but that's not the point of this video at all
Carsten Edison At this point I just deleted his response bc he is quite an idiot and seems to not know that "racecar" doesn't literally mean "kitted up super GT car with sponsorship stickers" lol
I've seen too many dumb comments tonight. So I want to set some things straight 1.) This is not a luxury car. It's a proformance car built for the track. So stop complaining about the interior. 2) this is the exact design (chassis, body, and engine except the mammoth spoiler ) used in the Le mans race machines. It is a race car homologated for the streets. 3.) Its not as v8 for a reason. The v8 wouldve made less power and ford wouldnt have been able to do adaquit forced induction to a v8. It wouldve been heavier, down on power and made the car less aerodynamic. 4) there is no turbo lag where it counts in this car. Its ecu keeps the turbos spooled in race mode so you have instant power on the track
@@jorgyr36 the ecu is what supplies you with the modes. Therefore it kind of does. Now I know the engine actually spools the turbos but that's besides the point
People change once their thousand people turn into millions. But, 11 million subscribers and you're still the same Doug we all fell in love with years ago. Thank you!
ImASavage because it's only fast because of the high boost pressure of the turbos. A twin turbo v6 isn't nearly as reliable as a v8 that's built but still naturally aspirated. Like the 5.2 in the Shelby gt 350. Its just as fast but will be fast for many years to come. This engine I'd have it blew up in less than six months.
sorry but no you wouldn't lol it's made to be run under intense conditions... racing. That's why they didn't boost the shit out of it. Ya, they could have made it make as much as a 5.2, but reliability, weight, and size all mean v6 is the way to go. The whole point of the car was to be light, quick, and aero dynamic. The bulk of the v8 would have been just harder to deal with and it wasn't necessary I've never driven a car that wasn't a v8, I drive a ls1 daily. I like my v8s. But you need to realize application. just because you can make up a v8s weight in power, you still added weight. and weight is the enemy in racing. This car is most likely going to be one of the best, if not the best production race car to date
So very WRONG!!! The McLaren 720s has a V8 and weighs less so Ford did not come out with some super light car that required a V6, they just don't have the experience in building super cars to compete with the big boys. The car barely beat a McLaren 675LT on Ford's chosen track, we all know the 720s is alot faster then the 675LT so the Ford GT will get spanked and the 720s is a lot less money.
I see a lot of "this can't out perform [pick random googled car]". I guess people don't really realize that this car finished 1, 3, and 4 at le mans beating Porsche, Ferrari, Chevrolet, Aston Martin, and Nissan.
plainlogic I'd take an aventador over this any day. I don't care if it's faster or not. When you're paying top dollar for a car you want an exotic engine. The block is the same one that they put a freaking v6 fusion. Just with stronger internals and twin turbos. Lame.
One of the best sounding cars ever imo. I love the simple interior with the insane exterior and the fact that Its actually just a Ford is really cool to me.
BrodyTheGreatDane, I left the video a quarter in exactly for that reason, I usually give his work a miss, simply because of his presentation format. The hot Ford suckered me in, a half million$ sucks though, bet they've sold out though, smh.
Performance > Number of Engine Cylinders I hate when people say... It's just a V6. If you can get the power from the V6 instead of a V8 and shave some weight. Why would you want the V8? There was a goal to hit a certain amount of power and that was achieved.
Lucas Tseh No. That is not always the case. It really matters on the quality parts, materials, and tune. A properly built and tuned engine should last a very long time.
You no nothing about cars omg, mercedes making the best Mercedes ever and is a is a 1.6..................... 1.6........V6 whith 1020HP, These engines are low displacement but are much more sophisticated\Robust\ and resistant and made with super alloys What ignorance
Wow everybody seems to hate that this car exists. Seems like it all boils down to: 1) It's a Ford 2) It costs 500k 3) Everybody is talking about it Yes I get it, it's expensive but not for the market segment it's competing in. Seriously, Ferrari and Lamborghini make models that cost 6-8 times more than this and they get the pass? Even more ridiculous is the notion that a Tesla sedan or hopped up street car is a better track car. By the way the McLaren P1 has a similarly spartan interior and costs more than double..Judging by the previous generation, this car will only become more valuable in the future. Anyway I'm sure all 1000 owners will be extremely pleased with their purchase and won't be envying corvette owners or looking for approval in the RUclips comments section, so why make a big deal?
Ryan David Because Ferraris have the performance to back up their prices, the P1 is a highly advanced 900 HP hypercar, and Lamborghini is Lamborghini. We haven't seen what the new GT can do yet, and with cars like the 720s coming out with performance figures that are apparently faster than a P1, gives you a ton of comfort, and costs considerably less than a GT? That's why a lot of people are questioning it. I get it, the GT is a completely raw supercar that is at home on the track, but I still don't know about that price.
Daniel D. But it yields 600+ horsepower and I forgot the torque but for the price and designing and all the wonderful quirks I say it's worth the price of 500k and the fact that it's made for equality for track and road, while as Lamborghini and McLaren and Ferrari are either a well thought out track car and shitty road car or a great road car and a shitty track car.
Your Boy actually, its that price from ford. But u have to be approved in order to get it. If ur not, and u wamt to buy this car, u r going to be spending a hell of a lot more to get it. All 1000 people had already been selected.
ryan dibble yea, and another fact, Ford selected people that would actually drive the car, that's why most collectors were rejected from buying it because Ford didn't want the car collecting dust
@@marktaudac1ty150 oh I'm sure it's got it where it counts. That cars all racing inside. It is lighter and those echo boosts are winning races all over the place and built up the street engines are faster. I got faith in the damn thing. I just thinks it's changes are to extreme to be a GT40. Should have rebadged it.
I was at the Rolex 24 a couple years ago. The Ford GT sounded a million times better than the Italian cars.. I know what you mean about the sound. Amazing.
This is probably one of the videos that took Doug's channel to the next level, and then the "Doug is the type of guy" comments started coming. If you search "ford GT" on RUclips, this is the number one video
This is a race car, people. The price does not matter to the average citizen. They could sell it for 100k and 90% of you (me included) would still be unable to afford it. Just enjoy the car for what it was developed for.
"They could sell it for 100k and 90% of you (me included) would still be unable to afford it" ...not so fast. If you're a homeowner with a decent job, then you can probably swing a loan for a $100k car. There's nothing about that car that says that it's worth $500k other than the resale value.
IT IS AMAZING, BUT.... 500,000k goes a long way in the super car market. I have read many of the comments, and totally understand that you are paying for a "track ready" super car. I get it. It is gorgeous on the outside, but for a half mil, I would want the speed, the handling, AND the luxury inside. McClaren 675LT, 5 Acura NSX's, 2 ferrari 488's, 4 Porche 911 Turbo's?... that last one... 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. OR... if you really love American.. what about the c8 corvette that is coming soon? Gonna be AMAZING... I want to reiterate (just for the trolls who are itching to lite me up..) I get it. This is for the person who wants something that can.. with the push of a button... go from the curvy mountain roads of Colorado to the curves of Road America.. I get it.. just not what I would I want to spend my money on. Side note; if you apply for this car, and they accept you, (what I read, and heard) they won't sell it to you as a collector item. They want drivers, and pretentious collectors need not apply. SO.. unless you are ready to spend gratuitous amounts of money on fuel, tires, insurance, and body work..not to mention the car itself... this is not a car for you.. or me.
Yeah obviously ford wanted to make a track car but if you really want to explore I say just buy a shelby gt350r it MIGHT even spank the Ford gt off the line well then again the gt is super light but I can't lie this is a really good looking car and is very unique
Ulysses Martinez Never mind, the fact that a 4/5/6 point harness is not DOT approved, and so your driving without your seatbelt on. Police WILL ticket you! Just check out the racing forums, if you don't believe me.
13:53 I think you are on point (almost always) with your assessments; however I have to take issue with your view of the paddle shifter. Ford did it the right way. They *SHOULD* move with the steering wheel. This allows for better shifting in turns, *IF* your hand placement is correct.
I'm dumbfounded to see this car fly over so many heads in the comments. The Ford GT was homologated for racing reasons! They just want to win. They could give two shits about the interior. This car reminds me of the 90s GT1 era super car craze where the cars would break your back on the street. This is much more refined and livable. Ford is brave to wander into strict racing development, that's why this car is so expensive, it needs to cover all the huge costs it comes with and to be slightly profitable. These things usually run a massive loss for the company. More manufactures should take Ford's role and create dedicated racing chassis. We would see some of the craziest cars ever built.
Cool info. I'm sure there are enough collectors out there that want it, and lord knows I think it's beautiful. I personally would never buy a 500K track day car, quite simply because there are many faster, more fun alternatives at a quarter of the price. But I'd never knock it, because it's an impressive machine, and think it'll bring a smile to the faces of any of the lucky people who will own one.
OGSiX33 I can agree with that, if you want a piece of automative history and a rare car that can truly perform it's worth it. Of course not as much value compared to a 488 in comfort features and such but I don't think the rich really care too much about a 200k premium with this car having investment potential as well.
Stirling Moss yeah if you're gonna pay 500k for a car I would atleast want a better looking interior... I could buy a huracan for less and it looks and sounds nicer than this turd
Ravelord Nito Yes, Federal Law. 3-Year, 36,000 miles. Became mandatory maybe a decade ago for ALL cars sold in USA. Before that Ferrari, Lambo, etc. could get away with only offering 1 or 2 years based on their limited production numbers, but then the DOT put an end to that.
People don't seem to realize that the people purchasing one of these can wipe their ass with 500k. Also at this tier cars are investments and will appreciate in value.
as someone who have never owned any american cars but only european exotics, I am very impressed with this. Ticks every single box as an exotic supercar, pretty amazing ford can pull off something like this
It's worth the money because when you do decide to sell it, you will probably get double or triple what you paid for it or more depending on when you sell it.
Except certain cars. The 2005 GT had an MSRP of around 140K and is currently selling for $250- 350K. It's rare, and obviously the manufacturer wants every penny of value it can get so it's just as indicative of supply-and-demand as well as not selling at the best price to begin with. I don't know if this particular GT will do the same, but it's really cool none-the-less.
огромная эрекция You have to wait 2 years to sell it, part of the contract. But you can’t buy it anyway from Ford, you had to apply to buy it, and basically if you weren’t famous, your application was tossed in the garbage.
technologic My Sub box was flooded with these. KBB did a video comparing the two old (2005) vs the new. Seems they had them on hand for journalists to compare, individual review or on a track but required a Ford rep overseeing according to Autocar.
Matt Delmonico the way I see it is when your going around the track its all about functionality. I see their point for it, but it isn't very visually appealing on the inside in my opinion as well. I won't be buying a 500k car either though lol

1.) This is not a luxury car. It's a proformance car built for the track. So stop complaining about the interior.
2) this is the exact design (chassis, body, and engine except the mammoth spoiler ) used in the Le mans race machines. It is a race car homologated for the streets.
3.) Its not as v8 for a reason. The v8 wouldve made less power and ford wouldnt have been able to do adaquit forced induction to a v8. It wouldve been heavier, down on power and made the car less aerodynamic.
4) there is no turbo lag where it counts in this car. Its ecu keeps the turbos spooled in race mode so you have instant power on the track
1) There is quite a few performance track cars that have much better interior than this cheap looking plastics and for cheaper.
Think about what u said u can make a v8 how fast u want it ford just keep putting that weak ass ecoboost v6 in everything
It's ecu keeps the turbo spooled? I am not a expert on turbos, but I am pretty sure that is the way it works kid...
@@jorgyr36 the ecu is what supplies you with the modes. Therefore it kind of does. Now I know the engine actually spools the turbos but that's besides the point
"adaquit"
7:30 please tell me I wasn't the only one who thought he was about to get smacked the car door lol
Manny Campos lol hahaha
swear to god, I did too!
Same
Fix your grammar dude
Manny Campos Lol true.

"Briefly" *puts pedal to the floor for over a second*
The Ford GT has a cool wing.

The car looks like it takes a breath at 10:12 :)

Thank you!
Prashant Gnawali that’s views not subs
why are people so caught up at the v6 if it can go 0 to 60 in 3.2 sec its better than most v8 and v12 this car is a race car
ImASavage because it's only fast because of the high boost pressure of the turbos. A twin turbo v6 isn't nearly as reliable as a v8 that's built but still naturally aspirated. Like the 5.2 in the Shelby gt 350. Its just as fast but will be fast for many years to come. This engine I'd have it blew up in less than six months.
sorry but no you wouldn't lol it's made to be run under intense conditions... racing. That's why they didn't boost the shit out of it. Ya, they could have made it make as much as a 5.2, but reliability, weight, and size all mean v6 is the way to go. The whole point of the car was to be light, quick, and aero dynamic. The bulk of the v8 would have been just harder to deal with and it wasn't necessary
I've never driven a car that wasn't a v8, I drive a ls1 daily. I like my v8s. But you need to realize application.
just because you can make up a v8s weight in power, you still added weight. and weight is the enemy in racing.
This car is most likely going to be one of the best, if not the best production race car to date
Are there cars with a triple sequentional transmission
So very WRONG!!! The McLaren 720s has a V8 and weighs less so Ford did not come out with some super light car that required a V6, they just don't have the experience in building super cars to compete with the big boys. The car barely beat a McLaren 675LT on Ford's chosen track, we all know the 720s is alot faster then the 675LT so the Ford GT will get spanked and the 720s is a lot less money.
ImASavage he is wrong it is 2.8 sec
Doug is the type of guy who keeps lint in his pocket, just to take it out every so often and smell it.
I'm dead
I see a lot of "this can't out perform [pick random googled car]". I guess people don't really realize that this car finished 1, 3, and 4 at le mans beating Porsche, Ferrari, Chevrolet, Aston Martin, and Nissan.
Aventedour no one wants the truth.
Aventedour i think half these commentors are clueless of lemans..
Aventedour wait until the new generation supercars are launched and u will see why this car is shit 😀👍
Daniel M "why this car is shit." Lmao, a lot better than your civic
plainlogic I'd take an aventador over this any day. I don't care if it's faster or not. When you're paying top dollar for a car you want an exotic engine. The block is the same one that they put a freaking v6 fusion. Just with stronger internals and twin turbos. Lame.
"I'm gonna floor it very briefly" then that look means everything ;)
Doug has 500k subs, every sub should donate 1 dollar to Doug. Let's get him a ford gt
This is an amazing vehicle, I dont understand why so many people hate on it. The engineering of it is next level.
True Blue GT because their ford haters
True Blue GT People who bitch about the car are people who think that the only way to justify a 500k price tag is by interior quality😑
Nipun Jayatunga sounds like shade thrown at redline reviews because he always does that 😂
I love the old and newer Ford GT. It looks SOOOO cool! :D
It just isn't mind blowing, I think people would have appreciated it more if it wasn't so hyped up.
Is it a good family vehicle?
Kolby Slife yes, if you are divorced with no custody privilege
when a reply iss better than a comment
Kolby Slife you're a fucking idiot.
Your joking right ? Lol 2 seater
Yeah the baby goes under the seat
One of the best sounding cars ever imo. I love the simple interior with the insane exterior and the fact that Its actually just a Ford is really cool to me.
Doug is going through the list of features so quickly you'd swear he was double-parked.
Way to go Ford...I asked my buddy at my favorite Ford dealership how he feels about the new GT... He said, " Now it is our turn "
cant a ford this
mindaza0 Yes.
mindaza0 I fucking love you marry me
mindaza0 lol
mindaza0 Smart.
Minori Miwa i would :) but i am already, sorry ;)
So vacuuming the floor of that car wasn't considered before filming this?
It's for reasons of authenticity. It has to represent the USA.
thanks for letting us stare at your face instead of showing us how it looks out the front when driving lol
BrodyTheGreatDane Plus he never shuts up so we can't hear the engine while he's driving the car.
BrodyTheGreatDane Then spent the first 10 mins talking about the dials on the wheel.
BrodyTheGreatDane lol
BrodyTheGreatDane, I left the video a quarter in exactly for that reason, I usually give his work a miss, simply because of his presentation format.
The hot Ford suckered me in, a half million$ sucks though, bet they've sold out though, smh.
Doug is the type of guy who test drives a Ford GT and keeps it under 50mph while raving about the steering.
And now he owns one lol
@@nickh.3315 And it will never go faster than the highway signs tell him to go
I feel bad for the car.. Cars like this should never have to obey to speed limits..
mega deth not nessacarily anyone who can afford a car like that could probably afford to buy or rent a track
Performance > Number of Engine Cylinders
I hate when people say... It's just a V6. If you can get the power from the V6 instead of a V8 and shave some weight. Why would you want the V8? There was a goal to hit a certain amount of power and that was achieved.
Victor Andrade small engine with big power wears down quicker and breaks easier I think? not sure though
That depends on how high quality the engine parts are. Obviously it should have quality parts that can withstand the amount of force the block makes.
Lucas Tseh No. That is not always the case. It really matters on the quality parts, materials, and tune. A properly built and tuned engine should last a very long time.
Don't worry, you wouldn't even have the oportunity, even tho you had that money.
You no nothing about cars omg, mercedes making the best Mercedes ever and is a is a 1.6..................... 1.6........V6 whith 1020HP, These engines are low displacement but are much more sophisticated\Robust\ and resistant and made with super alloys What ignorance
“It feels like a race car”
No shit bro
Wow everybody seems to hate that this car exists. Seems like it all boils down to:
1) It's a Ford
2) It costs 500k
3) Everybody is talking about it
Yes I get it, it's expensive but not for the market segment it's competing in. Seriously, Ferrari and Lamborghini make models that cost 6-8 times more than this and they get the pass? Even more ridiculous is the notion that a Tesla sedan or hopped up street car is a better track car. By the way the McLaren P1 has a similarly spartan interior and costs more than double..Judging by the previous generation, this car will only become more valuable in the future. Anyway I'm sure all 1000 owners will be extremely pleased with their purchase and won't be envying corvette owners or looking for approval in the RUclips comments section, so why make a big deal?
Ryan David finally someone with brain
Ryan David Because Ferraris have the performance to back up their prices, the P1 is a highly advanced 900 HP hypercar, and Lamborghini is Lamborghini. We haven't seen what the new GT can do yet, and with cars like the 720s coming out with performance figures that are apparently faster than a P1, gives you a ton of comfort, and costs considerably less than a GT? That's why a lot of people are questioning it. I get it, the GT is a completely raw supercar that is at home on the track, but I still don't know about that price.
Daniel D. But it yields 600+ horsepower and I forgot the torque but for the price and designing and all the wonderful quirks I say it's worth the price of 500k and the fact that it's made for equality for track and road, while as Lamborghini and McLaren and Ferrari are either a well thought out track car and shitty road car or a great road car and a shitty track car.
Daniel D. The McLaren is amazing, but the question is whether it's twice as amazing. Is the performance and interior worth two GTs? I'm not sure.
Ryan David did you really just compare a ford to a P1? lmfao
Yes i only need $499,999 to buy this car
Your Boy actually, its that price from ford. But u have to be approved in order to get it. If ur not, and u wamt to buy this car, u r going to be spending a hell of a lot more to get it. All 1000 people had already been selected.
ryan dibble yea, and another fact, Ford selected people that would actually drive the car, that's why most collectors were rejected from buying it because Ford didn't want the car collecting dust
The sales tax alone would buy a decent car!
Your Boy it's really not a lot
Your Boy for a super car
My favorite quirk is the same light controls that they put on their $13,000 fiesta
Kenneth Cypret yeah..well they are good light controls. Why make it different?
Fiesta has different light controls btw.
I was thinking more Michael Shannon
mxt mxt considering maserati has Chrysler light controls and nobody freaks out I doubt that.
But it's a Ford with Ford light control. Not a "luxury exotic" Maserati with a shitty Fiat light stalk.
Doug’s the type of dude to remove the dead bugs carefully off the front bumper to give em a proper burial.. lol 😆
He wore all the seat belts😂😂
Modfix Cars he wore two pairs of underwear as well
Modfix Cars 😂😂
I hadn't even noticed 🤣
Hilarious
If you watch all the video, you will see he had to put the regular seatbelt on to turn off the seatbelt chime
All the car experts here...yet most can’t afford a Toyota Corolla, lol...
@Ivanna Yakhoff 69 yup. Can't talk shit about a car if you've never driven it.
@@marktaudac1ty150 same goes for you then.
Guess you have no right to like it
Same goes for you then.
Guess you have no right to like it
@@megadeth9733 i like it for looks and on paper stats
@@marktaudac1ty150 oh I'm sure it's got it where it counts. That cars all racing inside. It is lighter and those echo boosts are winning races all over the place and built up the street engines are faster.
I got faith in the damn thing. I just thinks it's changes are to extreme to be a GT40.
Should have rebadged it.
I was at the Rolex 24 a couple years ago. The Ford GT sounded a million times better than the Italian cars.. I know what you mean about the sound. Amazing.
You posses the rare ability to keep your views attention, with enthusiasm, throughout your entire video. Nice Job Doug.
Where is the 'Doug is the type of guy' comments?
Ali Kazmi ..Dougs the type of guy that has to use the trunk lid release button from inside the trunk on a daily basis
This is an older video.
Doug is the type of guy to wear a racing harness AND a seatbelt just for added safety
This is probably one of the videos that took Doug's channel to the next level, and then the "Doug is the type of guy" comments started coming. If you search "ford GT" on RUclips, this is the number one video
Doug is the type of guy to not bitch about dead jokes.
Those Utah mountains are beautiful....so is the car.
Nice drive experience. Glad he put the camera pointed at his face the whole time ...
My thoughts in every one of his videos ... where's the speedometer or tachometer?
And the sound! It sounds so good! Let me just talk over the engine noise everytime I accelerate!
Kwisclub TA 😂😂😂
David Gizzarelli no
Moui
Doug just wants to make sure we don't miss out on a full view of the DeMur-O-Face every time he mats the gas.
On gta that thing is like 1.7 million 😡
*2.3mill*
Cost 0 cause its not even in the game
somed00d it’s the Vapid FMJ
Maybe it's expensive because.. it's gta?
Just did like a 4 hour grind, everything is so expensive in GTA online
This is a race car, people. The price does not matter to the average citizen. They could sell it for 100k and 90% of you (me included) would still be unable to afford it. Just enjoy the car for what it was developed for.
Joshua Nelson I respect you for that
Lol have you seriously deleted all the replies? you insenstive little shit
I don't even know how to do that, nor would I even want to.
Very well said
"They could sell it for 100k and 90% of you (me included) would still be unable to afford it"
...not so fast. If you're a homeowner with a decent job, then you can probably swing a loan for a $100k car.
There's nothing about that car that says that it's worth $500k other than the resale value.
IT IS AMAZING, BUT.... 500,000k goes a long way in the super car market. I have read many of the comments, and totally understand that you are paying for a "track ready" super car. I get it. It is gorgeous on the outside, but for a half mil, I would want the speed, the handling, AND the luxury inside. McClaren 675LT, 5 Acura NSX's, 2 ferrari 488's, 4 Porche 911 Turbo's?... that last one... 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. OR... if you really love American.. what about the c8 corvette that is coming soon? Gonna be AMAZING... I want to reiterate (just for the trolls who are itching to lite me up..) I get it. This is for the person who wants something that can.. with the push of a button... go from the curvy mountain roads of Colorado to the curves of Road America.. I get it.. just not what I would I want to spend my money on. Side note; if you apply for this car, and they accept you, (what I read, and heard) they won't sell it to you as a collector item. They want drivers, and pretentious collectors need not apply. SO.. unless you are ready to spend gratuitous amounts of money on fuel, tires, insurance, and body work..not to mention the car itself... this is not a car for you.. or me.
Rob Martin I agree
Yeah obviously ford wanted to make a track car but if you really want to explore I say just buy a shelby gt350r it MIGHT even spank the Ford gt off the line well then again the gt is super light but I can't lie this is a really good looking car and is very unique
This car not made to focus in luxury...
But you do realize that the GT IS only a track car and always will be.....even the previous version....in fact, ALL versions.........
That was a great review.. everything was explained extremely well, You've just gotten a new subscriber! lol Time to watch some of your others
MK Whipper you won't regret it. All of his vids are this good.
HIS VIDEOS ARE GOOD WATCH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM
Lol Carls face when Doug said "certainly feels faster than your car,right?" At 16:10 🤣
not only does he have the harnesses on... but my dude got his seatbelt on as wellXD
Ulysses Martinez he does! ha!
He explained it in the end of the video
Ulysses Martinez Never mind, the fact that a 4/5/6 point harness is not DOT approved, and so your driving without your seatbelt on. Police WILL ticket you! Just check out the racing forums, if you don't believe me.
Someone didn't watch the end of the video
17:17
this thing is a Fucking spaceship
In the comments: a bunch of people who want a fancy interior in a homologated race car for the street
and all drill on mclaren F1 with even more basic cabin
Most people don't realize that this is a homogolation car. Kind of a cheat in my opinion.
Derek Ferrell bro this car only has 600 horsepower quit hyping this piece of shit car up as a race car
it won le mans lol
Derek Ferrell but the interior of the ford is horrible..it looks like its from the 1980's..ZR1 makes it look silly in every aspect...
13:53 I think you are on point (almost always) with your assessments; however I have to take issue with your view of the paddle shifter. Ford did it the right way. They *SHOULD* move with the steering wheel. This allows for better shifting in turns, *IF* your hand placement is correct.
I'm dumbfounded to see this car fly over so many heads in the comments. The Ford GT was homologated for racing reasons! They just want to win. They could give two shits about the interior. This car reminds me of the 90s GT1 era super car craze where the cars would break your back on the street. This is much more refined and livable. Ford is brave to wander into strict racing development, that's why this car is so expensive, it needs to cover all the huge costs it comes with and to be slightly profitable. These things usually run a massive loss for the company. More manufactures should take Ford's role and create dedicated racing chassis. We would see some of the craziest cars ever built.
Cool info. I'm sure there are enough collectors out there that want it, and lord knows I think it's beautiful. I personally would never buy a 500K track day car, quite simply because there are many faster, more fun alternatives at a quarter of the price. But I'd never knock it, because it's an impressive machine, and think it'll bring a smile to the faces of any of the lucky people who will own one.
OGSiX33 I can agree with that, if you want a piece of automative history and a rare car that can truly perform it's worth it. Of course not as much value compared to a 488 in comfort features and such but I don't think the rich really care too much about a 200k premium with this car having investment potential as well.
Stirling Moss It's a shame that this isn't the top comment. So many uneducated, popular opinions running around on RUclips.
Stirling Moss yeah if you're gonna pay 500k for a car I would atleast want a better looking interior... I could buy a huracan for less and it looks and sounds nicer than this turd
20BulletProof10 Over your head again.
But does it come with a bumper to bumper warranty?
Ravelord Nito nope
Ravelord Nito show me the carfax!!!
Ravelord Nito Yea but it costs 500,000 for the warranty they'll even replace the whole car
Well, it does actually...
Ravelord Nito Yes, Federal Law. 3-Year, 36,000 miles. Became mandatory maybe a decade ago for ALL cars sold in USA. Before that Ferrari, Lambo, etc. could get away with only offering 1 or 2 years based on their limited production numbers, but then the DOT put an end to that.
Just saw this on The Grand Tour. Gorgeous.

Doug the type of guy to get excited about every hole in a car
People don't seem to realize that the people purchasing one of these can wipe their ass with 500k. Also at this tier cars are investments and will appreciate in value.
Can improve, that is not always the case. Junk is always junk.

Actually, for the price, it is.
as someone who have never owned any american cars but only european exotics, I am very impressed with this. Ticks every single box as an exotic supercar, pretty amazing ford can pull off something like this
Every box, expect the hideous badge.
Bryce Peavler same badge that's on the Crown Victoria
Great Value Bleach well the Crown Vic is pretty badass. that being said, i would rather have a Lamborghini Diablo SV
Rick Su what about the Supra...
DSM B00ST what about it
It's worth the money because when you do decide to sell it, you will probably get double or triple what you paid for it or more depending on when you sell it.
Except certain cars. The 2005 GT had an MSRP of around 140K and is currently selling for $250- 350K. It's rare, and obviously the manufacturer wants every penny of value it can get so it's just as indicative of supply-and-demand as well as not selling at the best price to begin with.
I don't know if this particular GT will do the same, but it's really cool none-the-less.
Terry king is right a ford gt just sold for 1.2 mill at a auction.
Who the fucks gonna buy a v6 car for more than half a mill.
огромная эрекция You have to wait 2 years to sell it, part of the contract. But you can’t buy it anyway from Ford, you had to apply to buy it, and basically if you weren’t famous, your application was tossed in the garbage.

Yeah, usually he reviews cool cars, not junk like that overpriced focus
Almost every car review channel these last 12 hours has released a video about this car. It's a trend at the moment.
Armands Deglavs all the videos about the fgt were on embargo until yesterday
yea I guess it's being promoted just like the new mclaren..all youtubers posted videos of it on the same day

Josep Sarra I think its an awesome car too
I like it and I am not really a Ford fan. But 500.000 $? No.
Josep Sarra It's really not tho it's a overpriced hot wheels toy
I like the exterior. I'm not a huge fan of the interior though.
Matt Delmonico the way I see it is when your going around the track its all about functionality. I see their point for it, but it isn't very visually appealing on the inside in my opinion as well. I won't be buying a 500k car either though lol
