In just over a year – hyperspeed in the auto world – the Ford team designed and developed the all-new Ford GT, preparing it to debut in January at the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
We were very pleased with the reaction to the car at the auto show, and we’ve heard you loud and clear: you want to see more! Below, you’ll find photos and videos of the Ford GT taken during its design, showing the story behind the creation of this supercar.
There was a select group of designers who worked on the all-new Ford GT. Starting in November 2013, the small and talented team began the enormous task of creating the fourth-generation successor to the GT40, working in the utmost secrecy of the Dearborn design studio.
Focused on efficient and lightweight design, each element of the vehicle had to be simultaneously functional and beautiful. Over a 14-month period, as demands for extreme aerodynamic performance relentlessly drove the design process, a completely modern supercar with clear Ford GT bloodlines carved by the wind emerged.
You can read more about the car’s technology and innovation, including its next-generation twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 with a projected horsepower of more than 600, in our post earlier this year: All-New Ford GT Sets New Standard for Ford Innovation.
