Ford GTX1 is the dream of a man, Kip Ewing, a Ford SVT engineering supervisor. Kip had designed the convertible version of the Ford GT on a mat using the 1966 Sebring winning Ford GTX1 roadster as his inspiration - hence the name.
Ewing took a 1:18 scale die-cast model of the Ford GT and modified it, first by cutting the roof and remodeling regular car with mastic. He finished it off with a paint shop. He used this model to convince the higher powers that his project was possible. GTX1 Ewing talks about design history.
"I spent my education between engineering and fine arts, but my career was engineering," said Ewing. "To be able to do my design work recognized in a show is something I've wanted all my life."
GTX1 is not only a great concept, some clever engineer went to the multi-roof mounting.
GTX1 The roof system consists of four individual hard panels. These panels can be configured as a coupe, T-top, or full convertible. The panels are painted the same yellow with silver stripes Valencia tungsten covering the entire car. Therefore, when the car is configured as a coupe, it does not lose its attractive design, a problem with most convertibles. All panels on the roof of the Ford GTX1 stored properly in the car, which means that if a sudden summer rain begins to stay dry, but not for long.
Genaddi Design Group, a Wisconsin coachbuilder based on the experience of cutting the roofs off expensive and exotic cars, was chosen to build the car.
Ford GTX1 was presented at the 2005 SEMA show, one of the Premier Automotive products trade event in the world.
