Will the Ford GT be Reborn as a Hybrid?

If the rumors in the auto industry are accurate, the Ford GT might re-introduced as a retro-styled, modern Hybrid. What does this mean exactly? Well, it would essentially be a purely electric supercar much like the Mercedes Benz SLS E-Cell. I for one think the Ford GT Hybrid would be a welcome addition to the road.


In order to keep up with the competition, stop/start ability coupled with an electric assist engine will keep the car relatively "green" which is obviously a requirement of a hybrid, but targets are still set at approximately 600 horsepower!

Ford will likely achieve its goal with the help of a turbocharger (or two?) and a lightweight aluminum chassis. I'll be keeping my eye on this one!

    Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of the Ford GT?

    It won't be the same unless it drinks gas faster than a frathouse can float a keg.

    I love the idea, but how would the engine sound? Those electric cars are so quiet and wussy sounding... wouldn't this defeat the whole purpose of the GT?

    Beer: Some cars actually have the artificial sounds to mimic engine noises. This is mostly to warn pedestrians of coming cars, but I'm sure there's a way to fake the sound if you want power haha. But some mad bass in the engine.
