The wide front end is
reminiscent of the classic Ford GT40, but the rest of the
design is fully supercar-modern. The tight, two-seat
passenger cell tapers to a point above the two
cannon-sized central exhaust outlets, and the rear fenders
sit entirely apart from the main fuselage. (Credit the
laydown, pushrod suspension for making the channels
between the wheels and body possible.) Unlike last
decade’s GT, the doors hinge up and forward and don’t
incorporate portions of the roof; they still, however,
grant access to a simple, businesslike cabin. A digital
gauge cluster is augmented by a central color touch-screen
display with Ford’s just-introduced Sync 3 infotainment
setup, while the slim center tunnel houses the starter
button and transmission selector buttons. A pair of paddle
shifters sprouts from behind a squircle-shaped steering
wheel, and we can’t get over the awesome door-mounted HVAC
vents.
