We still don't know how much it costs (expect at least $400,000). We still don't know how many Ford will build (the rules say at least 100 road cars). But we do know what it's like to drive, thanks to Forza Motorsport 6. It's the new Ford GT.

LOS ANGELES—We've already taken a look at the interesting technology on display at this year's LA Auto Show, as well as the cool concepts and custom cars. Today it's the turn of the sportiest stuff. Many of the big names we saw in New York—Aston Martin, Ferrari, McLaren—were absent. A few reappeared, inching closer to production like the Ford GT and Acura NSX. The former is Ford's celebration of its first win at Le Mans in 1966. The latter a hybrid sportscar that's more focused than BMW's i8 but a lot more affordable than any hybrid sports car McLaren, Ferrari, or Porsche have made.
Think of Alfa Romeo's Giulia Quadrifoglio as an Italian take on the M3. Rear wheel drive, 505hp, and that endangered species, the manual gearbox. The firebreathing one with the four-leaf clover will cost around $70,000, but the Giulia range starts at $40,000. We're still a little unsure how we feel about Fiat's Italian take on the Mazda MX-5. From some angles the new nose looks great, and the 1.4L MultiAir engine is interesting.
