Bob Lutz is not the only one who is "often wrong, never in doubt". When I penned my Ford GT editorial, I had a pretty sound case for believing that the latest reports of a successor to Ford's supercar were little more than clickbait. By usually reliable sources inside the Blue Oval seemed to concur. And then I got a phone call from someone who is placed highly enough to know.
It turns out that our sources didn't initially see any indication of a new GT program because it's not being done through the usual channels. It will be a *very* limited product car, of around 300 units, and built by a third-party like Multimatic. Power will come from a 3.5L Ecoboost, to maintain a connection with Ford's sports car racing program. The car will be priced as you'd expect a limited-production 300-unit halo car to be priced.
N.B. The identity of the source checks out, but there is still the chance that it could all be a bunch of BS misinformation. However, I felt it prudent to put this on the public record in case I am wrong. My obligation to you, the readers, comes before my own pride/ego.
