Facts
The signature channels linking the roof to the rear fenders could take their complex shape because they were made from moulded carbon fibre.
The Ford GT has five drive modes—Normal, Wet, Sport, Track and V-Max—that alter aerodynamics, suspension and powertrain behavior.
The GT's hydraulic suspension can change ride height; switching to Track mode lowers the body by about 50 mm.
The new GT's engine is paired with a seven-speed Getrag 7DCL750 dual-clutch transaxle.
The production Ford GT uses a 3.5-litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 rated at 647 hp under SAE standards.
The second-generation Ford GT uses a mid-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive with a limited-slip differential.
The second-generation Ford GT uses a carbon-fibre monocoque with an integrated steel roll cage and aluminium substructures.
The 2005 Ford GT used lightweight aluminium construction, becoming an important step in Ford's development of light vehicle materials.
The GT's aerodynamics include a deployable rear wing and active front-body elements coordinated with its drive modes.
The racing Ford GT won the GTE Pro class at the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, exactly 50 years after the historic GT40 victory.
