Better looking than the NSX, hands down.

That really saddens me to say that... The original NSX is so good looking... and... this... this is a... Ford.

In terms of presence this things shits on just about anything not named the Starship Enterprise, Veneno or Egoista

The faces of P1, 918 or Lafezza owners will be priceless as their 1.5 million dollar hypercars car get moved to the underground to make room for a Ford lol

The GT is back baby

Yeah I think they definitely could have styled the NSX better, it's not bad.... But it's such a massive deviation from the orginal

The GT on the other hand.... Violence and sex had a love child

I think it looks FANTASTIC! I really liked how half the roof was attached to the door in the previous model though. Not only did it look cool with the door opened, but it was functional and made getting in and out of the vehicle easier.

They have alot of homeage to live up to with that new GT. I'm hoping they make a stroked flat plane V8 version from the gt350 as well. Id buy that in a heartbeat.

I like it from most angles, but the side profile looks a bit awkward or dated to me.



Almost looks like the rear of the car extends too much.

Agree on it having presence though.

I'll be honest with myself here.

I can't wait to drive this thing on a track... in Forza.

Long ass = better areo.

I also think the camera angles causes the overhangs to look elongated, in life I'm sure it won't look so massive
