I Bought A Ford GT - Is It Actually Worth $1,000,000?

[@epicentergarage4952]

You are absolutely right about the W1. Regarding the GT, you missed why it was built in the first place. All the cars you mention as “competition” were not built per the plan that Ford set out. They did not benchmark this car against anything…they just wanted to win their class at Leman. Every aspect of this car was driven by that plan including the engine choice. Also, the large majority of buyers were not on social media.

[@41Cornflower]

I agree the P1 looks so much better..

[@syedhisham2594]

he'll get over the w1 trust me😂... this is the exact reaction people had when they saw the p1 and now they say it's beautiful

[@UniverseSpeck]

@@syedhisham2594 it was interesting. When the holy trinity came out the P1 was my favorite. But a lot of my friends disagreed. But then one of my friends saw it in person and changed his mind. He agreed it was the best looking. That being said, I have to say I don’t think the W1 is particularly beautiful. Better than the Senna, but for a halo car, I don’t think it stands out.

[@NicholasSebastin]

The Ford GT’s $1,000,000 price tag reflects its rarity and pedigree, especially since it’s a limited-production supercar that pays homage to Ford’s racing legacy at Le Mans.

[@JoshuaMartins-sr7ez]

Its design and engineering, like the carbon fiber construction and high-performance EcoBoost V6 engine, contribute to its high valuation, but some might debate whether it’s worth that much compared to European supercars

[@SergioRomano-nj8eb]

For collectors, the Ford GT’s value also lies in its exclusivity-Ford limited production numbers, and not just anyone can buy one, adding to its allure.

[@Adam-dm8wg]

While it has impressive performance stats, such as top speeds over 200 mph, whether it’s worth $1,000,000 depends on how much someone values the brand’s history and the GT’s role in automotive culture.

[@TeresaMicheals]

Many argue that a car’s worth at that price point is subjective-it’s not just about speed or technology, but about emotional connection, heritage, and prestige

[@JoshuaMartins-sr7ez]

There are other cars in the $1,000,000 range that may outperform the Ford GT in terms of raw power, but the GT is often seen as a piece of art that embodies Ford’s racing spirit.

[@kc550]

In what way though? Wait until there are actual driving reviews. Everyone's so hell bent on the underwhelming looks, but I think it'll age like fine wine.

[@aron_1_percent]

@kc550 it looks like if they tool all their other cars and jumbled it into one, no new intuitive design besides the front which looks like a nevera. Secondly the power train, it's the all new biggest and best hypercar, are you seriously telling me after 10 years of the p1 and using the same v8 twin turbo in every single car, they couldn't have made it a different engine? I think even if they used the v10 from the solus gt it would been MILES better, all in all its cool but underwhelming and well the interior is kinda ugly you gotta admit

[@Destroyer-Grizzly-BIH]

@@kc550Looks are important because you see the car before you drive it.

[@kc550]

@Destroyer-Grizzly-BIH I personally love it, and hence why I said it'll age like fine wine. If it's too garish and out there, it'll look dated in 10 years. The P1 had much more balsy design language, and still looks decent today (except maybe the front end), though I don't mind the otherwise safe choice with the W1 for longevity sake.

[@kc550]

@aron_1_percent I agree that the design from front to back isn't the most cohesive, and that the front end resembles a lot of other vehicles (r8, model 3, rimac etc.) But it doesn't bug me that much. I'd rather that over something that's overstyled. The interior gradient patterns hurts my head, but that's just a spec. The power plant is likely more reliably built, as we're all aware of the issues mclarens had with their rods and other components. Given that it doesn't have a high top speed, I think this will be more of a scalpel and an absolute track weapon. I'm stoked on it

[@Stevemel808]

Kinda confused what your gripe is with this car. Ford built the GT race car before the road-going version. Hence this is a homologated race car for the road. The motor not revving past 7k is because turbo’d vehicles have a performance range. Higher rpm’s pose a greater risk to those components. You compared this car to newer hybrid vehicles that have assistance with electric motors that give them the ability to produce over 1,000hp, plus cars that are naturally aspirated…. I’m guessing the GT isn’t for ya lol but appreciate your hot take

11:45 i agree on everything here. And i wonder how much better a well made tune up would make this engine? Like with new turbos, intake, headers, exhaust, cams, ecu tune etc. maybe even raising the max rpm with a rebuild engine. eventually some smart person could calculate the right resonance for the engine, like Yamaha did with the LFA. There are defenitely plenty of 6cyl engines out there, that sound really good and make a ton of power. i remember Edo performance tuning the N/A CCGT engine to 800 hp aswell as the MC12 and Enzo engine. i never liked the sound because it was to loud for my taste, but if those engines can handle so much more power, then a turbo 6cyl eco boost can defenitely too.

[@loltroll6063]

Love your honesty, keep going!

[@LPOneThree]

1:14 So refreshing to hear someone call out the fan boys for just praising every design. Ferrari especially has had many underwhelming models when it comes to style in the last 20 years. It you put a Ferrari badge on a new Z06 people would be calling it one of the greatest cars of all-time and vice versa, if you put a Chevy badge on an Enzo people would call it ugly.....because it is. But because the Enzo is made by Ferrari, people say it's a masterpiece. Branding is an incredible phenomenon.

Hi Ron - just to clarify, having a social media presence was almost totally irrelevant to receiving an allocation for a Ford GT. Almost no GT allocations were given out on the basis of social media presence. By far the strongest correlation between getting an allocation was ownership of a 2005/2006 Ford GT.

[@962RACER]

I get the dismay with the engine, but ford used this engine (and aerodynamic features like the flying buttresses) for their efficiency at Le Mans, where a slight improvement in fuel consumption and top speed gave them the edge. Look at the bright side, it's an engine with a massive aftermarket and building them to any spec is pretty cheap in comparison to exotic engines. I get it, it doesn't make much sense for the average investor/collector to touch the engine but for the enthusiast it's an option. If it was me, i'd build a high spec long block made to rev to the moon with a fully built head and with upgraded turbos and literally swap out the engine to keep the original VIN engine fresh(if the casting makes it possible with dry sump etc). A couple thousand RPM can work wonders in making an engine more responsive, racy and sound exotic. With these turbo engines one can make all the power even at lower rpm but in a homologation special it comes across as somewhat agrarian to the driver i guess.

The reason they developed the new Ford GT was to win Le Mans again after 50 years which they managed in 2016 in the LM-GTE class. They did consider to use both V8 and V12 but found the more compact V6 to be advantageous for the new aero rules for 2016.
