In the season finale of “The Big Thing,” Magnus Walker takes to the track at Willow Springs with all three generations of Ford GT. A Ford GT40 MKIII, a first Generation Ford GT and a second Generation Ford GT. All three cars embody the spirit, grit and determination of the Ford Motor Company from different eras, and all three are each "The Big Thing," themselves, but which one will Magnus fall for the most?

The 05 GT still looks modern. A timeless design.

We're so glad to see our MKIII with all generations!

Hagerty has become the defacto car enthusiasts channel on KZfaq, period. Between all the shows that you are producing there can't be enough. We need more! Cheers to whomever has the brains to produce the ongoing content here as well as with Cammisa. Hats off to you all!

Great video. Just an editing note, the constant, epic music is absolutely not needed when the cars’ soundtrack is so good.

just visited the henry ford museum the other day, and got to see the 2016 le mans winning ford gt. also on display were the clay model they used to sculpt the road car, and a display car where half of it was the racing gt and half of it was the road going gt. insane. the car is just so breathtakingly low and wide, and it just makes you want one that much more.

The old cars still look fantastic today! I really love the '05 model and would take it in a heartbeat. I'll never be rich enough for the '16+ GT, but it's a beauty as well and a crazy piece of automotive engineering that's street legal. I love them all!

Man this guy reminds me so much about my Peepaw, everytime he's on screen I just need to watch what he has to offer. He was just as much of a nut for old cars like him. He had a beautiful Bel Air, A 73 Corvette, 74 Camaro an Og Fastback mustang, a Shelby Cobra replica, an 87 911 Carrera, A W220 S class, an E39 M5 and an E46 M3. He daily drove an Altima, you couldn't even tell by the looks he owned all those cars, unfortunately he passed last year due to Corona and we had to sell all the cars😭, only the M5 remains in the family and it's with my uncle who drives it on a weekly basis. I love you to heart Old man. I miss those cars a hella lot.

What a great episode minus the background interference of the music. Love the perspective that magnus gives

The Chief Designer of the 2000s Ford GT seems like a chill guy to hang out with.

If you are watching this video, you would enjoy spending a day, or more, at the Peterson Museum in Los Angeles, where these cars came from. It is simply amazing.

Three amazing Ford Supercars from the Gen 1 race car to the Gen 2 street version, raced by privateers in Europe to the current Gen 3 ultra beautiful current Ford GT previously raced by Ford Performance and Chip Ganassi Racing. Three extremely special Ford Super Cars at this one location. Different vehicles that accomplished the same goals. Go fast and with gen 1 & 3 win races in some of the most beautiful Supercars ever built. Thanks for the fantastic history of the Ford GT and the ride along with your Great video. Also hats off to the late Carol Shelby for his brilliance in helping develope the Ford GT program leading to Ford's dominance at Lemans in the 60s. For 2022. Ford announced that 1350 Ford GTs were scheduled to be built. As of February 2022. Only 250 copies remain before production closes. .

IMO this is the best of the Big Thing videos yet. The passion shows through without a doubt.

Love Magnus! But someone needs to talk to him about not using the same annotation pattern for every sentence no matter what he’s reading from the script 😅

The GT presents so much better in person. Its just nutty: so low and industrially built, not a dainty road car it looks positively scary and very substantial, just menacing. Its gorgeous like nothing you see on the road.
