Rumor: Ford GT supercar's successor will be green machine

Back in 2003, Ford gave us the GT supercar – a road-going homage to the iconic GT40 race car. Ford discontinued the GT when its high-powered Shelby GT500 debuted for the 2007 model year, but now the word around Dearborn is that there may be another top-end Blue Oval supercar coming down the pipeline. This time around, however, things may be a bit greener.

According to Motor Trend, Ford Motor Company executives have suggested that if a GT successor is created, its main focus will be fuel efficiency, citing the possibility of an electric drivetrain. The EV supercar isn't a new idea, after all – Porsche is readying its 918 Spyder and Mercedes-Benz has shown us its SLS E-Cell. Of course, Ford's plans are simply rumormill fodder at this point, but we'll keep our eyes peeled for silent supercars roaming around Dearborn in the coming years just the same.

Interesting, but I think it would be better if it was a hyrdogen engine like that Honda off TG. That was a good piece of kit. But its not like you can pull up to the local, say:

"Hiya Gov' can I have this coke, pack of Winfield Blue, & the Hydrogen on pump 2 thanks"

It will be a while till these pumps come out for a hydrogen powered car...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I had to sit through 14 lectures on clean, green and EV's the other day and I could of slit my wrists...the future is grim. Honestly everyone should go out and buy a performance car now because give it 20 years and things wont be the same....

Ill continue sorting my garbage.

Tell me something by the FG ESP, are you doing a course in car design? I cant remember what its called... It wasnt named anything "automotively", its called something else, but that was a few years ago. Now.
