Xbox and Forza Motorsport 6 have brought us inside Ford’s Performance design and development to tell some of the story behind the next Ford GT.
You can see several iterations of the prototypes before the final design had ultimately come together. The clay model shows a rear wing that is raised high above the decklid. Does this mean that the production GT will have a retractable and adjustable rear wing? It’s likely, though Ford has not confirmed either way.
It’s clear that Ford wanted the next GT to combine a dose of heritage with a healthy amount of futuristic design. The nose of the car is reminiscent of the previous models, while the rest of the car looks straight out of the future.
The chassis tub and body shell are both made out of carbon fiber. There are aluminum suspension components, contributing to the car’s light-weight, high-performance design. The dash is also made out of carbon fiber and is an integral structural piece for the car.
The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 is said to produce over 600 horsepower, however a precise output is not yet known.
