At a development cost in the neighborhood of $ 3 million, the GT90 was certainly worth drawing style elements from the original Ford GT, and although it was never intended for production, was built according to a press release from Ford as a test bed "with the technology, engineering and design concepts, and driver-focused, which can potentially be used in the production of Ford vehicles."
Officially presented to the public in January 1995 at the Detroit Motor Show, the GT90 is finished bright white and blue interior carbon fiber. In the mid-engine V12 quad-turbo, which produces about 720 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque. As a result, it was claimed top speed of 253 mph, which is still by today's standards would make it one of the fastest car in the world - even faster than the McLaren F1, which was widely considered the world's preeminent super-time machine.
A small specialized team of more than Ford's SVT little more than six months, the temporal development concept was very narrow and therefore the shares borrowed from other vehicles. The team mainly borrowed from other parts of the super car, which was also well ahead of its time, the Jaguar XJ220.
The engine, which was 48 and six-liter V12 valves had to be combined with four T2 Garrett turbocharger systems to comply with its 720 horsepower and estimated based on the Ford Modular engine. Created with pieces of two V8 engines Lincoln, engineers remove the last pair of cylinder rear engine and the first pair of rollers in the front of the engine. The engines were cut and welded with the end result is a 90-degree V12, which used a 90.2 mm bore and stroke of 77.3 mm for maximum power.
The GT90 is the gearbox FFD-Ricardo five-speed manual available on the XJ220 and, given the torque load that is designed for management, is seen to have a relatively slight shift quality. Also taken from the XJ220 is about double wishbone suspension has been designed to allow the car to handle and high speed.
Using Ford's new philosophy of "Edge" design, combined with the mixture of advanced automotive technology flat planes, angles, glass and triangular in shape, apparently, all colliding with each other. GT90 was the first car created a new design directive Ford, who has left the responsibility for the creation of other Ford products, like the Ka and Cougar. The effect is impressive and wonderfully executed setback style to his predecessor, GT40, which is at the same time remain true to its heritage, but to recognize the modern design. Taken directly from the racing-car technology GT90 body panels are molded in carbon fiber, a body made out of aluminum honeycomb monocoque section.
GT90 is a test platform for advanced technology and design. Sport colored, laminated bubble over the cockpit and the rear spoiler, which rises from the overhead at high speed. According to Ford, it is a "sealed design of mechanical, without wasting space, high-tech lighting and blind spots, and the positioning of the tiles as the spacecraft points to protect the exhaust pipe of the V12."
The car's interior can be easily accessed by holding a small yellow sign located on the B-pillar, which allows the door to open. Surprisingly for a supercar, it is relatively easy climb to the cockpit, the threshold is low and narrow, and the arches of the roof glass and attached to the door. Reminiscent of an aircraft cockpit, the interior is finished in blue suede and leather, carbon fiber center console and custom indicators in blue. A lot of polished and brushed aluminum adorns the interior, the door opened and the links are moved from the center console controls for the car key.
Ford engineers added some options, which are designed for use in the display circuit, the tires were specially made for "GT90" directly affected by the tread, and the doors and all internal and external lights, could easily be opened or power via remote control.
After its presentation in Detroit, has been running the circuit GT90 Car Show in 1995, to travel around the world as far away as Frankfurt and Tokyo. And a few more times between the presentation, the car had recently been sent to Europe is on display in 2008, Ford of Europe exhibition, the Goodwood Festival of Speed. After returning home, the car transported to Alabama, where he was exposed as part of the forty-fifth anniversary of the Mustang.
RM Auction
This stunning concept car remains in excellent condition maps, which have been preserved and maintained over the years, seems to appearances. RM Auctions is pleased to offer GT90 publicly for the first time at auction. An important piece of automotive history and modern design, the offer could be a unique opportunity for fans of Ford concept cars and hobbyists.
