New Ford GT to have a V8?

[deathsled]

Possibly the 7.3 liter "Godzilla" engine.

Now that would make it the  "The King"

Rumors have a certain nugget of truth about them.  A 7.3 liter engine with twin turbos would be an absolute monster in that car.  It already is a beast.

I would suspect there might be some "cosmetic" changes to the current platform to go along with this power plant. Think further aerodynamic enhancements.

But one must keep their feet firmly on the ground, all of this at what greater cost ?

hombre, you now how to say GT90 in Latin?   I do : pertransiri non possint

Of course the Ford GT should have a V8, although the EcoBoost V6 powered GT is very,very good.

To us mortals this is just an academic exercise.

Let's just now talk about cost as infinity to the power of infinity?

Machismo isn't a complimentary term?

Ford IS showing it's true colors and it's kinda' ugly.

What mortals are going to be worthy of these? Aren't they already past the abilities of the "Captains of Industry"?

Speaking truth to Power is, has and always will be a delicate subject. Truth can seem harsh.

Speaking to the choir, back to the topic at hand Ford GT at a stratospheric price unattainable to normal humans (unless you own your own rocket company)

   I can see Ford's idea of using the EcoBoostV6 for "class racing @Lemans" . BUT this is good old USA horsepower racing! Ford needs to stomp on the now rear engine Corvette with a mega V8. The Ford GT has proven it will sell out regardless of "retail price". Just give it POWER.

It's easy for a name company to sell a half million dollar car when you hype it with influencers and limit production. You can tell the real fans of the marque they are the ones willing to put a million dollar profit into the pockets of some millenial who held the car for 2 years.
There are also rumors they are working on the current Ford GT as a hybrid and that a detuned hybrid package with the Ford GT engine will be the top power package in the next gen Mustang.
I suspect we seeing the last of the GT500 - Ford is now offering the GT500 engine as a crate motor which tells me they are overstocked for their production and warranty needs. I wonder if Shelby American will offer a 1000 hp upgrade.
