Chicago 2015: Ford GT Presents Its Canadian Passport
The Blue Oval has no use for 50 shades of gray, not when two will suffice for the 2015 Chicago Auto Show debut of the Ford GT.
Per our friends over at AutoGuide, the big news this time around for the 3.5-liter turbo-six exotic is that it will be assembled in Canada. Multimatic Motorsports in Markham, Ontario — just north of TTAC Zaibatsu HQ in Toronto — will be in charge of putting together the GT, lending further credibility to the rumor that Ford wants to throwdown at the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. The group campaigns a pair of Mustang Boss 302Rs in IMSA’s Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge.
As for other details about production and pricing since its jaw-dropping world debut in Detroit, analysts believe a few hundred units will leave Multimatic annually, each with a price tag of around $200,000. Ford remains silent about either figure, however.

There is some blue monster/bull cartoon character, and I swear to you his face looks like the back of this car. But I can't think of what show it's from.
I think it's a great looking car (it kind of reminds me of BMW i8) and if they get the power/handling right buyers won't mind that is a glorify, sorry I mean turbo V6 after all why not? the original GT, the GT40 was constructed with Ferrari in mind and it seems that this one is too. I wish Ford all the best and that this new updated version is as much a success as the first GT was. Pity is an automatic.
