The glowing shimmer of Liquid Red on a Ford GT is not a Photo Shop filter
As I’ve stated many times, the Ford GT’s design is dramatic, making it capable of looking great in just about any color. With that said, I’ve decided Liquid Red is the Ford GT’s most dramatic color. If you go on the Ford GT Configurator you can see the car in all eight factory-offered colors. And not surprisingly, the Ford GT looks dramatic in every one of those colors — on the configurator.
The Ford GT’s dramatic styling perfectly syncs with the the drama of Liquid Red
But I’ve seen multiple Ford GT’s in every factory color, and several non-factory colors, in person over the past 3 years. I can now say with full confidence that Liquid Red translates from the configurator to real life better than any other standard color. There’s a “shimmer” in the paint that almost doesn’t seem real.
I wonder how long it took the paint engineers to create the specific shade of Liquid Red
I’ve already locked my new Ford GT order, and I never seriously considered Liquid Red for one major reason. While I generally love red on a car I never liked the idea of having it on a Ford GT (old or new). My reason is simple: red has such a strong association with Ferrari, and in my mind the Ford GT is the anti-Ferrari. Painting one red seems wrong to me.
I didn’t get my Ford GT in Liquid Red, but maybe I should have…
That said, every time I see a new Ford GT in Liquid Red I’m struck by how good it looks. I’m still happy with my Ford GT configuration, but I’d be lying if I said this color wasn’t causing second thoughts…
