  • 2017 Ford GT

    The Ford GT provided plenty of shock and awe when it debuted at the 2015 Detroit auto show, but the brand had more in mind than just raw performance. In fact, Ford developed and engineered the GT with technologies intended to trickle down into future cars, trucks, SUVs, and even electric vehicles. Naturally, the GT made sense since its halo vehicle status could absorb some of the cost associated with experimental engineering. Foremost, the Ford GT's material usage foreshadows more mainstream usage in regular vehicles. And by "material usage," Ford means carbon fiber. Plenty of carbon fiber...
