Word around the automotive watercooler suggests that the next generation of the fabled Ford GT supercar will debut next month at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show and if I had to guess, I would expect that the new LeMans-bound performance car will be powered by the same flat plane V8 engine as the new Shelby GT350 Mustang.

One of the most surprising introductions at the ongoing 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show is the new Rocket Mustang that was designed by Galpin Auto Sports and Henrik Fisker, with a very unique facelift to the 2015 Mustang GT and while I love almost everything about Fisker’s Rocket Mustang – I just cant love that huge grille opening.
