“Expected 2300 New FGT’s“. WTF? Just read this in the Hagerty rag last night.

Not a very accurate article. I am positive there were no $139,000 05 GT’s produced. And like AJ said there are not going to be 2,300 new models built. Just another person filling page space.

While maybe a little squirrely on some details (another one, the 0-60 time is WAY lower than "less than 4 seconds"....which implies something more like 3.9 rather than what it really is), the guy did hit on a number of points I agree with (pure driving experience without driver aids, had no direct successor, the continuing freshness of the design).

Another factor is IMO, it is the last significant car of it's type that will ever be made.

Agree. Probably a typo. Maybe he meant 1300, as I was led to believe the total was planned at 1350.
