The Ford GT, which goes on sale next year, features many modern innovations in the supercar industry, such as an advanced and lightweight chassis, and a carbon fibre passenger cell with aluminium front and rear subframes that have been enveloped in structural carbon fibre body parts.

Its exterior relies on aerodynamics for smooth performance, as seen in the optimum tear-drop shape to its aircraft-inspired fuselage. The new Ford GT comes with LED headlamps and unique DRLs, two large sculpted air scoops on the hood and a front splitter, while the rear has two round LED tailamps, dual central exhausts, an active rear spoiler and a carbon fiber diffuser.
