Some more details coming out. - This platform can be used to make a high variety of vehicles, including new cars. - Customization will be a big part of the platform. - The truck will have unheard of aero for a truck form factor - Ford said there's no compromise, including in range or...

Apparently Ford owns the cobra name outright which surprised me, so maybe that's the name they'll go with? Boss or mach are also likely imo.

Couldn't agree more, I'm hardly the kind of person who thinks EVs are Lord and master over all, I'm just someone who loves it all. There's a lot of ignorance on hybrids and EVs in terms of how reliable they are, how to maintain them, range, driving characteristics, and so on.

I'd argue payload matters a lot more than towing, because it's what truck owners actually do. My maverick hybrid can't tow shit, it's like a 2k tow capacity, but the payload is 1,500 lbs, pretty damn solid for a small truck. It's more than enough to do all the truck hauling I need to do. It's...

Subsidies do influence EV sales no doubt, but as the price of the vehicle drops, it's less of a factor, because you're getting a pretty good deal either way. I believe the model 3 and Y haven't qualified for subsidies for years because they sold too many, once you reach a certain sales number...

Pebble beach is going on right now, it would be really cool if Ford revealed some designs at that event, but I doubt they will lol. My guess is Detroit in January.

They're basically going back to what's called a vertical integration system, basically instead of buying a bunch of parts and software from suppliers, making more of it themselves. This is hard to do, but the benefits are you save a lot of money long term and quality/reliability tends to...

It definitely depends on what sort of truck and use cycles apply to you. For large heavy super duty and f-150 truck owners who are constantly towing and hauling really heavy things, I agree, EV isn't the answer. But for the significant amount of truck owners who just need to haul the occasional...

I mean it's better than most gas cars you can get for 30 grand, like normal people commuter cars I mean. Everyone has their own preferences, I love a great V8 sports car, but I also love an EV if it takes a unique approach. There are a lot of advantages to an EV, lower ownership costs, better...

The closest look we get at the design is under the tarp. As someone else noted, and I agree, you see a pretty sharp/strong brow shape on the front, kinda similar to the mustang. It gives off muscle truck/ranchero vibes which is fitting because Ford just filed a trademark to use that name on an...

What do you mean lol? Those are just highlights from the event this morning lol.

Some of my favorite pieces of info but I highly recommend reading articles on it, super impressive platform that seems to solve basically all the issues with EVs. The 0-60 will be comparable to a mustang Ecoboost, so about 4.5 seconds in a 30k small truck lol. It actually has more downforce...

Yeah Ecoboost engines are pretty rock solid these days. That vid someone shared bashing Ecoboost engines is from years and years ago before a lot of the common issues were resolved.

The 'ring is the standard because it's basically the most challenging track, but also the best track in the world for testing everything in one place. A lot of tracks are really set up for one thing or another, tight corners, long high speed corners, short straights that test acceleration, long...

Ford's heading back to le mans to fight for the overall win, at a time when Ford's very passionate about having this connection between their race programs and road cars. So with that in mind, I'd be stunned if Ford didn't take the hybrid V8 that's going on that prototype, and modify it to go...

Guys, let's stop talking about panel gaps, and let's stop arguing, and instead just try to enjoy this vid, the subject of this thread. Cool to see the rs 200 pretty heavily featured in this vid, it's probably just because it's another radical Ford race car, but the optimist in me hopes that's...

You can literally do both lol.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/ford-ceo-says-game-on-mustang-gtd-going-back-to-nurburgring The cars are actually pretty close in lap time, and before anyone says oh well the ZR1 was driven by an engineer, those engineers have hundreds if not thousands of laps of seat time in those Corvettes, who...

Can we please stop talking about panel gaps lol? I can't believe we have a vid on an awesome car being driven by one of the best F1 drivers and we've devoted several pages to this back and forth lol. On the topic of the video, this thing seems like it's awesome to drive, the front end grip...

No, no, stop trying to move the goal posts by using pre production GTDs and none GTD models. You attacked the panel gaps on the GTD, so we're gonna focus on the GTD, and we're gonna use Leno's GTD as the benchmark because it's one of the best documented actual production GTD's. So watch that...
