Let's set the record straight from the get-go, shall we? The real world is no place to talk about the next iteration of the Ford halo car: the Blue Oval has yet to complete production of the current, second-gen GT, while a successor may or may not land right away. However, such initiatives are always welcome in the virtual realm, which is where the rendering sitting before us enters the stage.
Before we dig into the details of this pixel contraption, keep in mind that it is somehow related for Ford, as it was created as part of the automotive producer's Fordzilla P1 challenge.
The said development kicked off last year, when the Old Continent arm of the company launched Fordzilla, a venture into the esports arena.
Well, gamers and designers are invited to come up with a proposal that would become representative for the crew and that should be used for racing action - checking out the @TeamFordzilla Twitter page is one way to hop aboard. For the record, the proposals also include glorious nods to Mustang specials of the past, such as the Mach 1.
Besides, this third-generation Ford GT rendering comes from Sajdin Germond, a designer who, via his Instagram account, claims he works for the Blue Oval - if his name sounds familiar, it might be thanks to the... Bugatti SUV rendering he did a while back.
Returning to the FGT itself, the machine clearly packs the born-as-a-racecar-and-adapted-for-the-road philosophy that has brought Le Mans laurels to the current car. And the best way to perceive this is to zoom in on the lower front fascia and especially on the rear end, where the downforce rules everything.
The vehicle appears more compact than the current car, which could make sense: a lighter vehicle would also mean lower emissions.
And, as we've discussed on previous occasions of the sort, Ford's future halo car might just see the carmaker returning to Le Mans's new top class.
