So yeah, just saw this on Autoweek TV.

Apparently, some small company owns the name "GT40" and wanted more money than Ford was willing to pay for the name. So the new car that's coming out and bears a striking resemblance to the GT40 and up until now has been called the GT40, isn't going to be the GT40.

Silly Ford; or perhaps I should be mad at that company for trying to capitalize on a historical name like GT40. Nah.

 

ya, they announced it will be called GT

 

hopefully they don't make a gtr model. :squint: Wasn't there a pontiac that they were going to call the gtr or something like that? i dunno. :dunno:

 

GTO :fawk:

 

Yeah, this is kinda old. They gonna call it the Ford GT. The GT40 wouldn't really be a correct model name anyway, since the new car is 44 inches tall.

 

I want to know why Ford doesnt own the name GT40.

 

Ford never trademarked it when the original GT40 was out. Another company that specialized in something heavily related to the original GT40 (rebuilding them I believe?) took the trademark. To put it short, Ford got wned:.

But what I don't understand is why doesn't Ford name it the GT54 or some number after the GT. They did have a GT90 concept a decade ago. :dunno:

 

2 + 2 = GT44 :fawk:

 

You quoted yourself, dumbass.

 

Just trying to make conversation.
