Ford GT could be priced at a Lambo-like $400,000

By Stephen Edelstein Published March 6, 2015

The new Ford GT’s looks and performance reflect a supercar intended to go head-to-head with the world’s best, and so does its newly-revealed price.

Speaking at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, Ford Performance official David Pericak said the GT will have a pricetag pretty close to that of the Lamborghini Aventador, which stickers for around $397,500, according to Motor Authority.

So if you want a new GT, be prepared to spend in the neighborhood of $400,000.

Ford says the GT’s twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 puts out “more than” 600 horsepower, but the Lamborghini comparison makes that number more crucial.

In standard form, the Aventador’s 6.5-liter V12 produces 691 hp, so the GT will need to have a lot more than 600 hp to win that contest.

All of this shows that Ford is looking to reposition the GT. The last version from 2005 cost less than half the 4400K asking price of the new one, and was built to compete against “entry-level” supercars like Lambo’s Gallardo and the Ferrari 360 Modena.

Those GTs have become valuable collector’s items, and that will almost certainly be the case with the new one as well. Ford is reportedly limiting production to just 250 units per year.

The last GT took Ford considerably out of its comfort, but it looks like Dearborn is moving even further into the supercar stratosphere with the new one. Will that gamble pay off?

BYD has officially launched the Da Han EV in China, and its headline figures are enough to make even some premium electric cars look a little less impressive. The new flagship sedan promises up to 626 miles (or 1,008 km) of range on China's CLTC testing cycle and can charge its battery from 10% to 97% in just nine minutes, provided it has access to compatible high-power charging infrastructure. Prices start at 235,900 yuan, or approximately $35,200, making it a relatively affordable proposition for a large luxury electric sedan.

Fiat’s new concept can turn into a pickup when you don’t want six seats

Fiat’s Multiplay concept has six seats, a pickup bed, and even a spot for the dog

Fiat Multplay Concept Featured

During the Paris Motor Show 2026, the new Citroën 2CV caught my eye with its charming design. But there's another concept that's doing something even wilder. The new Fiat Multiplay was just showcased at this auto show as a 4.45-meter concept combining elements of an MPV, SUV, and pickup. Its party piece is something Fiat calls the C-Pillar “Metamorfosi” architecture, which lets the rear section slide along dedicated guides.

In its normal family configuration, Multiplay carries six people plus one very unusual extra passenger space. Move the rear module, and it becomes a four-seat pickup with an open cargo bed for bikes, sporting equipment, and other bulky gear.
