I like it. I bet it will be a lot more impressive in person out on the track with the sun beating down on it. All dressed up in a new suit and somewhere to go! Now please give us some breathing room on BOPs so we can show the world who the new Sheriff is!

I like it. The past color scheme was too boring, let alone they were very similar to the livery that some of the other teams were running. The metallic color strikes a very nice cord for me with nice 'eyeball',

ALTHOUGH​

..........I stopped by the LA Auto Show and saw the red Heritage version that harkens back to Gurney/Foyt......

Man that car looks incredible. It still amazes me that the original '67 stripping & roundels translates so damn well to the new GT's lines. I would luv to see Ford run one as a tribute with that color scheme at LeMans!

AND

I would LOVE to see Ford put one in MY GARAGE!

Pretty Please!?!?!?​

This would be a killer factory paint option.

Will not be a factory paint option. At least not for mortals. :lol :secret:

I like this a lot more than last years colors. And I normally favor non-metallic autos. Agree with a previous comment about last years car looking too much like a competator's red-white-blue entry.

I like it! If I was going to wrap my car in race car colors I was going to do the satin chrome finish for a similar look :)...

Yep, the colors look quite a bit deeper. I like it better too.

Ford listed the blue as: Blue Lightning. Will this be offered as a standard color in the upcoming model year?

When asked the same question didn't Ferrari say something like "I want my drivers looking where they're going not where they've been" ?

Wasn't it in "The Gumball Rally" that the Italian driver ripped off the rear view mirror and said " Whatsa behind us, is no matter"

Lightning Blue is a standard Ford color on everything from F-series to Edge etc currently.
I asked about it for my 2017 Ford GT... but was told it would have been a large $$ upcharge .

But , it would like nice on a new 2018 FGT for sure.!!
In some photos, the Liquid Blue looks just like Lightning blue.
