Description[]
The Ford GT90 was a concept car unveiled by Ford at the 1995 Detroit Auto Show. It was intended to be produced in numbers, but production was cut short before work really began. This led it to be a test-bed for the new technology of the time, and to show the world that Ford had the capability to build a supercar itself.
After the initial fanfare died down and the dust settled, the car went into storage and was forgotten for the next decade and a half. In the last few years, it has just recently been making rounds at auto shows and showrooms again, and was even yanked from being put on an auction. The car is currently on display at Hajek Motorsports Museum in Ames, Oklahoma. The Hot Wheels model of the car, however, can be found more easily.
Nevermind 1995, even by today's standards it is a supercar of supercars. The quad-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 puts out an estimated 720 horsepower, the body is constructed completely of carbon fiber and top speed is somewhere in the 250 mph range. The only hints that it's not a modern supercar is the all-navy blue interior, and wheels that are decidedly not from this decade.
