    Pretty clever and I love their confidence. It reminds me of the Audi/BMW spat years ago:

    I'd say it is a 'tongue in cheek' reference to 'LaFerrari's name which is different to mocking the car itself...funny nevertheless.

    They can mock as much as they like for now. We'll see if they beat Ferrari at LeMans as the original GT did though.

    I'm a Ford fan (owned several GT500s, couple Boss 302s, and a last-gen GT) ... but i still don't love this new GT :(

    and ... if they are really inviting a performance comparison to LaFerrari, well ... Ford fans are in for a huge disappointment.

    Maybe it's just because it's Geneva and they speak French? ;-)

    Depends on what performance one finds important, the Ford GT will actually race, unlike the Laferrari.

    0-60, quarter mile, laptime on just about any circuit you choose ...

    Yes, a version of the Ford GT will race. Doesn't mean that the car they're showing will outperform LaFerrari in performance metrics.

    Remember ... Ford is apparently inviting the comparison, not me.

    The LaFerrari can't be bothered with that. She will send her little sister, the 488, to beat the GT in the GT Championship!

    Racing a bunch of FXX-K cars isn't exactly motorsport IMO...

    Wouldn't be so sure about that. The 488 GT3 will be a race car built around a road car design. The Ford GT is a road car built around a race car design. It's a matter of homologation and marketing from what I understand. Surely being the latter of the two has an advantage.
