New Ford GT review - attacking the Arctic Circle Raceway in Ford's Supercar | evo REVIEW

It would be all-too easy to introduce Ford’s new £450,000 supercar with endless references to yesteryear – because we all know where the story for the Ford GT began. Henry Ford tries to buy Ferrari to win at Le Mans in the 1960s, Enzo says get stuffed, Henry builds his own version of a Ferrari to do the job instead – called the GT40 – and puts one right up Enzo, the end.

Or, in fact, just the very beginning for the Ford GT as things would turn out.

Except there’s an intriguing new story doing the rounds about the birth of the latest Ford GT, and it only came to light at the car’s launch recently in the US. Because initially Ford wasn't going to build a new GT at all, it seems. Instead it wanted to return to Le Mans with a Mustang, and to then create a road car on the back of the racing project to market the Mustang globally.

This is by far one of the very best reviews I’ve ever watched from Evo. Great job guys!

My Lord I feel like I just watched the greatest movie of all time. The production quality, the vehicle, the location. My lordt

I don't know who's shooting Evo's stuff these days but this is magnificent! Like watching Top Gear without a thousand edits a minute.

The cinematography in this video is some of the the best I've seen anywhere this year. Truly epic video Evo.

[lovecarsTV]

Absolutely blown away with this video. Amazing work - beautifully filmed and captured.

[HesteBremse]

Epic footage! - Epic Car. A lot of negative bias towards American cars over the years - some justified and some not - Surely this GT does not deserve hard criticism but appraise for being a non compromise super sports car - Nearly everybody has been talking about low weight, getting rid of Hybrid systems and make no nonsense driver cars - This is exactly what the GT is. And it is also an immensely successful exterior design that combines full contemporary Aero and deep carved styling while maintaining clear DNA signatures from the Ford GT heritage.

This is what beautiful to me. When you see the connection between the car and the nature or when you see a supercar is surrounded by the nature & it reflects with how beautiful the car personality in the nature. Bright supercar in the middle and the landscape is wherever you look, I just call it supercar connection with the nature !!!!

[ThatsSomeGoodPizza]

The POV lap with the turn-by-turn commentary is revolutionary... Please KEEP THIS UP! Incredible stuff!!!

[emerckx]

Top 5 Evo car shoot. Absolutely stunning scenery and cool content. Nice to see the journo's getting back to the GT with more positivity than when it launched. Well done.

[ThexMJT]

The way that thing drops into track mode, like a animal setting to go for its prey

[NBBMW]

This video makes me ask: Why can I only give 1 thumbs up?


Great car, great roads (very long trip by the way!) and fantasic editing.

[ChristopherOvrebo]

Wouldn't be a British car review without the host saying "proper" at some point

[sambitparida]

I guess this is the first time I'm crying at a car video. This cinematography and location scouting is ungodly!

[sephiros]

The production quality is just mind blowing. What a fantastic job guys!!

[CCFerrariF]

Whoever shot and edited this needs a pay raise. Best production quality by far I’ve seen out of EVO. Great job guys!
