Ford GT is a track-focused supercar. So neither the M5 nor the upcoming M8 is a direct competitor. M8 is more of a GT car / cruise missile, whose direct competitors will be the likes of the AMG S63 Coupe and Bentley Continental. The C&D article is only making a comparison to the Ford GT for its click-bait factor while marveling at the sheer absurdity of comparing a family sedan to a supercar.
