8 Badass GT Cars To Look Out For In 2016
1. Ford GT
Chip Ganassi Racing will field two new GTs in the FIA World Endurance Championship and two in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, with all four racing at Le Mans in 2016. Read more about the car here.
2. Ferrari 488 GTE
The 488 GTE continues to be one of the most attention-grabbing GT cars in motorsport. We’ll see them in the FIA WEC and WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
3. Porsche 911 RSR
More specifically the Gulf Racing machines competing in the FIA WEC this season, it looks amazing in the blue and orange livery. It certainly captures my attention! The 911 RSR also races in numerous other endurance championships including the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and Blancpain Endurance series.
4. Chevrolet Corvette C7.R
How aggressive does the C7.R look in bright yellow? We love it! The striking V8-powered Chevy will appear in the FIA WEC, WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and at Le Mans. Not only does it look good, but it sounds good too!
5. McLaren 650S GT3
Without a doubt one of my favourite GT cars out there at the moment, the 650S GT3 recently found success at the 2016 Bathurst 12 Hours. The beautiful McLaren machine races in a wide range of GT championships around the world including Aussie GTs, British GTs and the Blancpain GT series. It looks pretty amazing in orange, too!
6. Mercedes AMG GT3
How badass does the AMG GT3 look? I don’t think there could be a more aggressive GT car. The 6.2-litre, naturally aspirated V8 produces around 500bhp. It will race in numerous GT championships in 2016, turning heads at race tracks around the world.
7. Lamborghini Huracan GT3
The V10-powered beast looks damn good on track and off it, especially in green. It will be one of the most eye-catching machines in the Blancpain GT championships this year and will light up the race circuits in a variety of other sportscar series, including over in Japan, so the Huracan GT3 will certainly get plenty of airtime this year, fortunately for us!
8. Lexus RC F GT500
This one might split opinion. The RC F GT500 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine producing around 500bhp and sports an aggressive aero package, upping the visual anger considerably*. It may not be the most competitive car in the Super GT’s GT500 class but it is definitely a looker! Another version, the RC F GT3, will appear in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship this year too, as a bonus.
What other GT machines are you looking forward to seeing this year? Let us know below!

They sure look great, but are they fast as they look?
Good argument. You could say because of the extra body kits, aero, etc that it would weigh the car down therefore decreasing speed and disrupting power distribution.
These cars run 6:30 on the Nordschleife… So yes, they are very fast…
Nice cars!
That Lexus looks more like a DTM car than a GT3 car to me xD
Thats because the car on that picture isn’t the RCF GT3. It is the Super GT version or something like that. This is the real RCF GT3:
Uhm Jack, that pic of the RC-F is the GT500 version racing in Super GT, but yeah the GT3 version will race in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship
It will also compete in several races at the Nürburgring. It even did already.
Thanks for the tip. That’s actually the one I wanted to talk about, all corrected!
I sore the Ford, 488, Chevrolet, and the Porsche the are si awsome
‘Specially the Lexus and McLaren
What about the BMW M6 GT3?
And the GTLM one
At least share some photos
They should replace the GT500 Lexus with the M6. I mean, the RCF technically isn’t even a GT car since the GT500 cars are built after DTM rules rather than FIA GT rules.
[DELETED]
What about the Audi R8 lms?
Don’t forget to add pics of it bro
nothing to look forward to those things always dominate
“Eco Boost” haha
2 words that just dont fit together :L
The McLaren is still the best looking car. The Lexus looks … different … at least. I guess if it wins races it will start to look better! ;-) I think the Lambo is ho-hum.
I agree. I would say they could have made some slight asthetic changes to the lambo as well. And I agree with you for the Mclaren looking the best
