Why not orange and blue?

Why not orange and blue?

Because it was the Black/Silver #2 GT40 that won the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. In fact, there wasn't even a Gulf GT40 in the 1966 Le Mans race. The first Gulf GT40 was in 1968 (it won in '68 & '69)

...Hmm. I thought the new GT made 650 horsepower. Strange. Besides the cosmetic bits and bobs, what's new?

I thought the new GT made 650 horsepower.

It actually makes 630HP.

Besides the cosmetic bits and bobs, what's new?

Performance is identical to the standard '17 GT. Only changes are cosmetic.

...Interesting, then, to read R&T articles linked in OP keeps harping on about 600. I also checked online, and it does seem like the final number will be around 630. Which is a bit.... disappointing, if I'm honest. I expected more.

This is why I always said it was a mistake on Ford's part, sticking a bloody EcoBoost motor in a supercar. It's got a word Eco in the name for crying out loud.... How un-sporty can you get, really now....

Okay. But they should still offer the Gulf color scheme. And maybe others.

I'm more interested in why no actual words, but two screens' worth of links.

I mean, if @BJahalt88 had posted any description of any kind, he'd have immediately seen that it's just an options pack for the Ford GT and - like the car itself - will be delivered to its first customers this year, not next year...

Because it's not the least bit overused.

A watch is bad enough...

...but a 🤬 fixie with a 🤬 belt drive? 🤬 hipsters.
