Possible return of the Ford GT
Anyone see this. It from January but you never know. I like the idea of the GT or maybe Ford Shelby Cobra Roadster Concept. Hope Ford gets back into the supercar market.

At the time (2005) I think the Ford GT targeted Ferrari so I would assume that would be the target again. I would take a GT over the ZR1 because the ZR1 doesn't look exotic enough... besides, the GT is a lot sexier than the ZR1 anyways. Most people can't tell a difference between Z51 and a ZR1

If the GT supercar comes back, I want to see what engine they will equip this one with.
Right now, the new 5.0L Coyote looks like a great candidate; capable of well over 600 BHP at the crank with forced induction, direct injection, and the short block built up with true forged internals and lowered compression ratio for 20+ PSI boost manifold.
Or, if the coyote is truly based on the race-conceived Cammer 5.0L proven in racing, a 5.3L version of the Coyote. Afterall, even the 5.3L Cammer race engine was very capable of revving towards 7K RPMs.

There's quite a bit of speculation, and people are talking about old concepts of the GT as being the direction (who really knows)... plus there's talk about it being a hybrid... rear wheels engine driven, front wheels optionally electric driven...
A few of the concepts gossiped about:
