Ford GT90 1995 - The Concept Cars

Ford GT90 1995 - The Concept Cars

The Ford GT90 prototype from 1995 was inspired by the legendary GT40 racer of the 1960's, although the design was entirely original employing a new styling theme Ford called "edge design". This involved using sharp angles which collide into each other creating interesting shadows and highlights.

Power for the carbon fiber bodied Ford GT90 came from a quad turbo 720 horsepower V12 with ceramic exhausts.

Originaly Ford intended to produce a limited run of 100 GT90's but this plan never came to fruition and the the GT90 concept remained a one-off. 

The Ford GT90 was a concept car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. It was unveiled in January 1995, at the Detroit Auto Show as "the world's mightiest supercar". Claimed performance included a top speed close to 250 mph (402 km/h) from a 720 hp (537 kW) quad-turbocharged V12 engine, the exhaust of which was claimed to be hot enough to damage the body panels, requiring ceramic tiles similar to those on the space shuttle to prevent this.

The modern angular-looking concept car was unveiled in 1995 at the Detroit Motor Show  with a GT90 nameplate. This supercar was claimed to be “the world’s mightiest” at that time:  quad-turbocharged 6-liter V12 with 48-valve engine was mounted in the middle and might have produced 720 HP and a top speed of 250 mph [402 km/h]. One of the interesting features was exhaust – it was so hot that it could damage the body panels so it required ceramic tiles for heat prevention.

The name plate prompts that GT 90 is the offspring of the famous and iconic Ford GT 40, but has taken almost nothing that considers design [maybe except doors that cut into the roofline]. GT 90 was the first one to display Ford’s “New Edge” design trend. Surprisingly, the mighty-ninety was built in 6 month by a small team. As a result, the car borrowed many components from the Jaguar XJ220 – double wishbone suspension, 5-speed manual transmission. The engine was from an other Ford family member – the Lincoln Mark VIII.

The six liter engine was born quite in a natural automative way – two V8s [4.6 liter DOCHs] had their 2 cylinders removed and then welded together in 90 degree angle. Sadly, this can may be driven only in some games. There are also some enthusiasts that have made GT 90 replicas.
