We asked readers which vehicle, regardless of cost or availability, they would choose to have from the Detroit auto show, if they could take home any of the top reveals.
DETROIT, MI - It was little more than two weeks ago that Ford Motor Co. confirmed some of the rumors that had been floating around, and officially unveiled an all-new Ford GT supercar.
Since then, onlookers both at the 2015 North American International Auto Show as well as online have not been able to see enough of it. It's a magnificent-looking machine, after all.
So it's little surprise that it took the top spot in a poll we posted Monday, asking readers to select which vehicle, regardless of cost or availability, they would choose to have from the Detroit auto show, if they could take home any of the top reveals.
With a total of 485 votes cast as of Tuesday morning, the Ford GT easily took the top spot with 166 votes. It was followed by the highly anticipated Acura NSX supercar, which garnered 73 votes.
Billed as American-made, Honda has offered hints of its luxury brand's updated sports car in the past, and the Japanese automaker finally released the twin-turbo charged production version of the car in Detroit.
The development of the next-gen NSX has been led by an American R&D team in Raymond, Ohio, and the car is being built at Honda's Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. Design was led by the Acura's studio in in Torrance, Calif.
Surprisingly, the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 R has so far held on to third place with 49 votes. The street-legal-but-track-ready Mustang is arguably a bit of a dark horse, seeing as it was unveiled at the show in the shadow of the GT, although Ford did pull the cover off of some in-house photos and specs ahead of time.
The same was true for the Cadillac CTS-V, which has held onto fourth place in our poll with 42 votes. Launching late next summer, the 640-horsepower CTS-V is the most powerful product in the General Motors luxury brand's 112-year history.
Rounding out the top five was the Ford F-150 Raptor, also unveiled just before the GT at the Joe Louis Arena on Monday, Jan. 12.
A total of 55 vehicles were revealed to journalists during the press preview of the show. Now in its 27th year as an international event, the Detroit auto show opened to the public on Jan. 17 and ran through Sunday.
