Ford made an interesting experiment in the center of London by displaying the all-new GT supercar with covered badges. The next step was to ask people what type of car they thought it was.
It’s funny, but no one actually said Ford or Ford GT. You’ll hear people mention exotic brands like McLaren, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani, but not Ford.
What that tells me is the new Ford GT is different enough from its predecessor to cause some confusion among random people on the street. It’s also a vanity thing for Ford to have its halo car mistaken for a Ferrari or McLaren.
Obviously, car nuts will immediately recognize it’s a Ford GT, which should confirm the fact that designers did a good job of passing on the GT DNA to the latest-generation model.
