With the third-generation GT, the Blue Oval is attempting to make a game-changing supercar that doesn’t just match-up to the best of Europe, but manages to establish a new benchmark.
While it has almost been a year since we first saw the new GT in the flesh at January’s Detroit Auto Show, development of the car is far from over as Ford takes its time to ensure everything is absolutely perfect. Up until this point, we’ve only seen a handful of concept versions displayed at numerous motor shows but now the Ford GT Forum page on Facebook has posted up a picture of what it believes is a production-spec 2017 Ford GT.
Rather remarkably, the silver example pictured looks almost identical to the concept car presented almost 12 months ago. As a matter of fact, the only points of difference seem to be the larger wing mirrors, the amber side markers on the front fenders as well as a gloss black front splitter, rather than a matte black one.
It isn’t yet known when Ford plans on introducing the production-ready car to the world. Since it will hit the US market as a 2017 model, though, a debut sometime in 2016 is very likely.
In the meantime, we expect the company to release official details, because it hasn’t even disclosed the engine output of the new GT. All we know is that it will have a twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 EcoBoost engine with “more than 600 hp” and possibly as much as 700 hp.
