This Crashed Ford GT May Be Repairable, But It Won’t Be CheapA Ford GT met a brutal end in Carmichael, California, on April 5, and the wreck has already become the kind of clip people watch twice and wince at both times. Video from the intersection of Winding Way and Manzanita Avenue shows the blue-and-orange supercar lose control, spin hard, and smash into landscaping and concrete near an apartment complex. Two people in the car went to the hospital, but reports say both are expected to recover. The car, meanwhile, looks like it just lost a very expensive argument with physics. What The Video Seems To Show The available footage does not answer every question, but it does paint a rough picture. The GT appears to move a bit quicker than the cars around it as it approaches the intersection. At the same time, a van pulls out from a parking lot and merges into the road. The clip does not clearly prove contact, so it would be reckless to call that the cause. What it does show clearly is the Ford breaking loose, rotating clockwise, and then slamming into the edge of the Winding Way Apartments with enough force to toss the car up and peel bodywork away.Photos and clips from the aftermath suggest damage well beyond a cracked nose and bruised ego. The front corner took a huge hit, the body panels look torn up, and the car’s hazards were still flashing after the crash, which feels oddly optimistic given the rest of the scene. Local social posts also said the owner’s daughter was looking for witnesses who saw what happened in the moments before impact. This Is One Special Ford Part of the reason this wreck hit us so hard is that this was not just any fast Ford. It appears to be a 2017-2022 Ford GT wearing a GT40-style racing livery. That modern GT sits in a very small club – the brand planned only about 1,350 street cars worldwide, and the car packed a carbon-fiber passenger cell, carbon-fiber bodywork, aluminum subframes, active aerodynamics, and a 660-horsepower twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6. Ford built it as a road-going halo car with direct links to the company’s Le Mans story.That spec sheet also explains why a crash like this can turn ugly for owners and collectors in a hurry. A Mustang can eat a fender and live to tell the tale, but the GT brings carbon structure, exotic aero surfaces, low-volume parts, and bodywork shaped as much by airflow as by styling. None of that proves this car is beyond repair, and no official teardown has surfaced yet. Still, when a hit rips panels loose and sends the car airborne, the concern goes far beyond cosmetics. The real fear is what happened underneath, where the expensive bits live.Source: 916times on Instagram
