Reveal its 20 minutes from now.
I'm told it looks pretty good, even though the styling is a departure from the last one.

I dunno, I tend to think of the people designing the GT as some secret group of engineers toiling away in an underground lab somewhere, or perhaps in a remote corner of the Arizona desert, living in a city built entirely by Ford just for the purpose of designing the new GT without anyone knowing.
Ooooo it's good! It's very very good!

I love it. Lot of Enzo/LaFerrari looking lines in the rear, which I think is fitting
Looks great. The twin turbo V6 is an interesting choice purely for marketing/status reasons, I'm sure it'll be plenty fast.
Get that weak shit off my track
Yeah, going with the EcoBoost V6 is kind of strange -- why not twin-turbo the new Ford flat-plane crank 5.2L V8??
I'll give it a because I'm happy to see the return of the GT but it does feel like the Marketing suits won.
I really DO like the look, tho'.

Wasn't the engine choice motivated by the desire to fit in some sort of racing class? I thought that was the motivation behind the V6.
Either way, they're saying 600+ hp. If you can coax that much from a V6, why bother with the added weight of a V8? I would think turboing that could probably net 900hp, and then at that point you're competing in a realm that's probably a little more lofty than Ford intends to be in with this car.

The C7 Z06 already puts out 650 hp & 650 lb-ft of torque -- at nearly 3,600 lbs. of course. So if the GT is going to bring less power, it'd better also be losing 500+ lbs., comparatively speaking.
Well, it's carbon fiber with two less cylinders, so I think that's possible.
