Re: Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Ford GT
The Gallardo is like a rolling gold chain IMO. Flashy and expensive, but not particularly tasteful. In other words, it is the perfect Lambo.
Whereas the GT just says class and heritage to me, the Gallardo says "rap video". Just my two cents. And, just a correction for freak here. The GT40MkIV, the most famous one, was designed totally in house by Ford Motor Company entirely within the United States on the explicit order of Henry Ford II. It was the most succesful GT40 design ever done, and was built to prove a point much like the new one. Not to start a flame war, just thought I'd let you know. Ford has indeed "built their own car from the ground up before". And, they beat the world with it three years in a row.. |

 I think people have it the wrong way around. The fact that Ford completed the GT in such a short time is a credit to them and not something to criticise  |

I hope nobody is under the impression that the GT was just thrown together. It sounds very far fetched for any company to produce a 150k+ car to just weakly throw it together and hope nobody notices. Little bit screwy if you ask me.
Also as others said, the amount of time it took Ford to design the GT is nothing of a dissapointment. Do you think other companies try not to complete their cars as fast as possible? "Time is money", I think that fits in here. The longer it takes to design the car may possibly reflect the to-be cost of it. Every car company tries to be as efficient as possible. Ford just happend to produce the GT in a very astounding time, congrats to them. |

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Ford GT
imo the longer a car is in r&d, the better it will be because the longer it is in there, the more time they had to perfect it. unless the company is experts in that type of car (which i dont think ford are complete experts in fast cars), it should take a little longer.

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Ford GT
Well, the GT would seem to defy that logic judging from what has been written about it so-far. The car seems to be very well conceived indeed.
