A 3.5 liter 'EcoBoost' V6 sounds like the engine a lefty college professor would order when trading in his now despised Tesla except for the fact this eco-friendly sounding powerplant is good for 660 HP! In 2020, the Ford GT took to the streets and the tracks in a new Ford vs Ferrari showdown. That was settled when the twin-turbo Ford handily beat Ferrari's twin-turbo 488 3.9 L V8. Ford designed this 3rd gen GT as an aerodynamic tour de force but still managing to keep many of the styling cues of the venerable GT40 Mkll. This Maisto in the Heritage Edition in Gulf livery really offers quite a bang for the buck and demonstrates just how far Maisto has come in fit finish and parts count for a very reasonable price. When this 2020 GT was released, I paid a pretty good buck a GT Spirit curbside and when I got this Maisto, it immediately replaced that curbside on the shelf.

...it's a very nice model, but you don't like Autoart's? I don't believe it's offered in an orange & blue livery, but it's nice too. 😎

I'm consistently amazed at how Maisto can put out such great models, some of them, at the prices they do.

Right, I know volume & big-box store, mass marketing are the keys but it sure makes you wonder about the mark-up and / or profit margins on many of the other manufactures. 🤔 🤔

@chris I'm sure the Aa model is superior, but the overall look of the Maisto in that Gulf livery just looks great on the shelf.

@rich-sufficool Absolutely! That Maisto is a really nice model that holds up well under your lens or on top of your shelf.

@chris Have it, love it. Maybe not an AA but displays just as well.

I have the Maisto too. And it isn't an Autoart, but it does look nice on the shelf!
