Ford GT successor at Le Mans?

[Erik427]

So...who wants to throw around speculation as to what would power said potential 2016 GT?
Ford has already said the don't really plan on throwing turbos on V8's, so my guess is it will either be a S/C car or a really hot N/A motor.

Since it has been mentioned about a 5.2 flat plane crank....I would say the Voodo/Coyote.

IMSA broadcast just mentioned Ford returning to LeMans with the EcoBoost.

I think that would be the EB Prototype or a version of it.

Likely a P2 car. Shank is under contract with Ford and P2 seems to be the future.

I can live with the 3.5 TT.

I wouldn't be surprised if manufacturing of a new GT would again be outsourced to Saleen.

This would help explain why they have opened such a massive new production facility and it wouldn't surprise me at all if Saleen has struck a deal with Ford allowing them to use the technical base of the new GT for reviving their S5 Raptor plans. Something Steve has been heard hinting towards.

I wish they had made the S5 Raptor. Thing looked beautiful.

Make it Ford! Put an end to the ridiculous price gouging used GT market.

Saw a GT today on the road. Gorgeous. I hope these rumors are true.
