From 2005 to 2006, Ford produced the Ford GT, a remake of the GT40 which saw success in the Le Mans 24 hour race in the 1960s. At the 2015 Detroit Motor Show, they announced a 2nd generation model with further advancements.

The previous model was styled almost exactly like the original GT40, but while the second generation model, updated 9 years later, carried over the image of the GT40, the concept was now very different, with various aerodynamic improvements being implemented. These included an active rear spoiler, and under the panel flowing from the roof to the rear fenders there was now a large air tunnel going from the side through to the rear.

The body was also a structure combining aluminium front and rear sub-frames, and the body panels were made of carbon for thorough weight reduction.

The power unit was not the traditional V8, but a twin turbocharged 3.5L V6. Producing 646 BHP and 76 kgfm combined with a 7 speed DCT transmission, the car marked a top speed of 347 km/h.
