2017 Best New Cars BMW i5 SUV BMW’s recent focus on building ultra- efficient, yet sexy, cars continues with the launch of the i5 this year. Little informa- tion is available yet, though the consen- sus seems to be that it will be a crossover plug-in and hybrid model that closely resembles the current i-range; continuing to push towards the German manufac- turer’s aim of zero CO2 emission cars in the coming years.Expected release date winter, price not yet confirmed. Ford GT ‘Race on Sunday, sell on Monday,’ or so went Ford’s old mantra. This all-encom- passing attitude to cars has led to some spectacular sporting models for sale alongside its more practical releases. The GT is perhaps the most hotly anticipated of either category. The original run has al- ready sold out, but a second batch of the twin-turbocharged model has been ap- proved for 2017. You can’t just pop down to the garage to order one, though. Ford has a strict application process during which it decides if you’re worthy of own- ing this mean machine. Application date not yet confirmed, priced approximately £400,000. 16 4GUYS.CA
