One of very few cars that can make a Ferrari 458 Speciale look pedestrian.

Mind blown for the umpteenth time regarding this car.

looks like it could use bigger brakes compared to the M

I'm sure it doesn't need them, and bigger brakes mean greater mass. But from an aesthetic point of view, the gap between the outer edge of the rotor and the inner surface of wheel is quite substantial compared to the Fcar and Macca.

More air for cooling.

Those two cars do not even look like they are in the same league as the GT. Maybe the Aventador will make for a better comparison.

The Ford is the best looking car in the bunch!

Gentlemen,

The last shot from the rear shows the starkest contrast. The F & M cars look like school buses compared to the new Ford GT from that angle.

What's crazy is early on there were people saying the GT and the MP4 look similar. There almost couldn't be two more dissimilar 2-door sports cars. 650S looks like a complete bus next to the GT, and it's pretty good looking when it's sitting by itself.

It would be interesting to see it parked next to a GT40 in race stance. It looks very low compared to the other two.
