As far as I'm concerned, it is a beautiful car. A modern super car. Not meant to replicate the original like the 2005-7 ford GT's. Not thrilled about a supercharged six cylinder engine. But then I liked the normally aspirated F-1 engines way more than the turbocharged 2014 versions. They just sounded wrong.

Is it worth several hundred thousand dollars? Was the Lexus LF-A worth several hundred thousand dollars? Nope!

It is worth every penny of the $400K asking base price IMHO. Worth is subjective isn't it? Many thought the Gen II FGT was over priced at $167K. Not me which is the price I bought my FGT for. Only 1200 of the NFGT will be produced world wide with about 600 remaining for U.S. distribution over 4 years. It will be a million dollar car within short order after they are sold especially if they do well at LeMans and resale restrictions extingish. They will cause the values of the gen II to rise substantially too. My prediction

Ford has done a great job with deciding to keep them out of dealer hands and avoid ADMs. The will be offered at list giving preference first to current FGT owners. I will be submitting an application for sure and If I am lucky enough to be selected I will be putting one in my garage next to my Gen II FGT and the rest
