That turbo whistle might just win us over, but probably not. Like many of you, we are sick that Ford opted not to run a V8 in this otherwise beautiful Ford GT. But as we all well know, the future is here and smaller displacement, more ‘eco’ friendly motors are the way of the future.

We don’t doubt for one second that this new Ford supercar will be a performer, and we are still very excited for this car, despite the lack of those all important 2 cylinder. We just have a preconceived notion of the heart and soul of the Ford GT always being a V8, but times are a changin’. Afterall, we look at the new Porsche 918 Hybrid and the McLaren P1, and both are powered by hybrid V8’s.

Regardless, this car does sound amazing, and we can’t wait to hear it at full song. But this should tide us over, for now.
