Great film. Larry is definitely the man, I had the pleasure of working with him a bit in the early 90s when Multimatic was just dipping their toe in to motorsports.

@@TeeShongwe No Ford is at the bottom and brands that retain their value. Porsche is number one in retaining its value. How old are you? Ford GT is one car and it has NOT appreciated anything like the high end models from Porsche. No Ford is in the same company as the best from Europe. No American car makes the top 25 list for most valuable cars in the world. This is not the GT40 from the 60s and the last car has NOT kept up with its European counterparts in appreciation.
I'm not sure I knew this thing was a thing until now... shows how in the loop I am, but I really liked what I've seen of the first interations of this from 2016 and onwards and this is just that times two almost, really cool! Guess my only tiny complaints of the original car is the exterior design, its almost too simple and clean, its not that its ugly, its not, it looks great... but yeah, just too many clean empty surfaces I guess but its a very minor complaints, if I fell in to a few 100 million dollars I'd buy all of these! :D

Or FIA approved for racing. There is just no scene, no community, no traditions in the entire US for supercar quality craftsmanship or technology.
Its all British. Just like the Hennessey F5, and SSC Tuatara is the same story except thats designed and built by an Italian LeMans car manufacturer in Italy.
@@captain_context9991 "Yes, but Multimatic were simply hired to assemble the car."
ford partners with them on the gt and now the gtd. who did the carbon fibre tub and panels and heavy mods. to the motor, suspension and drivetrain? who did the aero.? they did more than just assemble it.
Great film. Larry is definitely the man, I had the pleasure of working with him a bit in the early 90s when Multimatic was just dipping their toe in to motorsports.
Please stop describing everything as "good" lol, you're a motoring journalist. My Aygo is good, these are $1.7m cars they are surely worth more than just good!
If you'd like to read more advanced words that describe this, I can recommend picking up the August issue of Top Gear magazine (UK).
It's understandable to have your vocabulary dropping to middle schooler level while you're driving this brain scrambling machine :)
That's a good comment.
I read this comment and he said good 3 seconds later hahaha 😂
I mean literally gave it a ton of accolades at the end… did you watch the whole video?
Good on ya for saying, it's no good to just say that
What impreses me the most is Larry from multimatic being impressed with your driving ability. It would be very cool if Ford hired Jethro to drive a Ford at Le Mans.
It's not an electric SUV? But the new Capri and the Mustang Mach E! Inconsistent........
I would love to see what that would do at Nurburgring
This car deserves a NA or supercharged V8
A V8 doesn’t fit in the engine bay.
More weight
Na V8 so it can have half the HP and more weight?!
TOP GEAR glorious pro staff.................THE BEST FOR ME! thanks guys for those stunning reviews🏆
Better than Clarkson, Hammond, and May?
I thought ppl hated BBC......😂
Ford is capable of cars like this, and then they build a 4,000 pound Mustang...
That Mustang is also amazing, and very affordable.
@@juzoli it's a Mustang that weighs 4,000 pounds (well, 3,800+ curb). That's nothing to celebrate. It's also not "affordable" by any stretch.
@@nickthaskater I bought mine under $40k, and there is nothing on the market which comes even close.
@@juzoli you bought a 2023+ GT for under $40k new? Not bad if that's the case. That's under MSRP by a good amount.
@@nickthaskater
We get it. You dislike the Mustang and think it weighs too much. What other unoriginal opinion do you have to share with us?
The previous track only GT was such a better looking car. Yet this thing one kicks its ass.
So many better options out there to spend your 1.7m on
Like it matters to u anyway
Such as?
What did you spend your 1.7m on?
But not cooler, especially in a world of 12 year olds drooling over buggy looking bugattis and immature Lamborghinis
@@110_Octane ay don't diss on Lamborghini I interned for them last year and they're super cool
Ehh my local track, awesome video!
I hate track only cars.
Dont buy it then
Because you've never owned one.
Why is that?
Yeah, but if you're committed enough you can make it street legal (probably).
Ok 👍
YES. YES. YES. Dear Jethro, or Chris Harris, is who we want you to give this car to. What a film!
host looks like Mr bean
He looks nothing like Rowan Atkinson😂
lol no he doesn't
the real mr bean is a genuine car guy, so i'd enjoy seeing atkinson drive the mk iv - as long as he promises not to break it (slight hammond tendency with that one)
this beauty is just planted on race track. I like modern sports with a proper shocks. It is not bouncy and it just sticks to the ground!
One of the few supercars that will be worth less in 10 years. It’s a Ford!
maybe comment after watching the video. nice joke btw, very original
@@Chadabi
It’s 800hp for a track only hypercar when there are many cars for the money that you can drive on the streets and which have far more power. Additionally they are not going to beat you up.
It won't be.
@@TeeShongweThe Carrera GT and 918 are all worth more now than from new 💀
@@TeeShongwe
No Ford is at the bottom and brands that retain their value. Porsche is number one in retaining its value. How old are you?
Ford GT is one car and it has NOT appreciated anything like the high end models from Porsche.
No Ford is in the same company as the best from Europe. No American car makes the top 25 list for most valuable cars in the world.
This is not the GT40 from the 60s and the last car has NOT kept up with its European counterparts in appreciation.
When America gets her schiz together, she can truly build kickass things.
by having a canadian company build it in canada, lol.
The paint job of this car is just perfect .
Why that windscreen fit so nearly to the chassis💀
I hope the Ford GT returns again within the next 30 years (after the Mk IV, no more 3rd gens will be made). It really is great.
I'm not sure I knew this thing was a thing until now... shows how in the loop I am, but I really liked what I've seen of the first interations of this from 2016 and onwards and this is just that times two almost, really cool! Guess my only tiny complaints of the original car is the exterior design, its almost too simple and clean, its not that its ugly, its not, it looks great... but yeah, just too many clean empty surfaces I guess but its a very minor complaints, if I fell in to a few 100 million dollars I'd buy all of these! :D
I appreciate you invoking the name "CLK GTR"
