They're making a new Ford GT!

There is a rossion and a noble here in KC fwiw

Hmmm...I liked it a lot more before I heard it. Should be much better when it's being driven hard, but man.

[Sad, little man]

Those doors... They're insane. It's like the whole side of the car comes off. No tight parking spaces in this thing.

That seems to be the way to do it with these carbon tubs these days:

Would you really drive this thing to the local mall?

And a company in the USA, near Cincinnati I think, was importing the Noble as a kit car and then you just added the engine.

[Sad, little man]

If I'm going to drop $200k on a car, I'm going to drive it where ever I damn well please.

Low. Wow.

Someone is/was importing them because there were a half dozen sitting in and around the TurboHoses facility in Livermore a couple years back. Maybe brought in as kits and registered under SB100?

Randy Chase had something to do with importing it as the Rossion Q1 as I recall.

I've also seen a Noble autocross in SoCal, with a plate I don't recognize.

I'm actually not a fan of the looks to be honest.

I think it looks spectacular. Considering how much they've also worked on the EcoBoost for racing (remember, the possibilities of using it for LMP2 have also bounced around a lot the last few years) makes sense they'd go in that direction. As for the size, well, it's a 4-liter maximum for turbo/supercharged engines to GTE spec as they are now.

Best thing that can happen from it is it reignites Ford's motorsports passion for things that aren't tube-frame NASCARs, and forces Chevy to step up fully onto the WEC stage with a works program full-time too.
