Ford GT Part Of Multimatic Exhibit At The Henry Ford Museum

The sleek, sporty Ford GT has been out of production for a few years now, but the sculpture in motion remains a stunning sight. Visitors to the Henry Ford Museum can have a firsthand look at the supercar, which is currently on display compliments of Multimatic.

The Ford GT exhibit features several iterations of the sportscar, from the roadgoing variant to the track-ready race car and then some. There’s a cutaway model that splices the No. 6 GT race car – which competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans – together with a street legal version of the supercar. This model showcases the stark similarities between the two vehicles and highlights their slight differences, which are most evident in the rear wing. The race car’s spoiler is much more pronounced than that of its roadgoing counterpart.

The exhibit also features the full-size clay model built by designers early in the Ford GT lifecycle. This helped the design team visualize aerodynamics and tweak the sculpt as necessary before the supercar ever made it to the production line. Visitors can also check out the digital display, which shows examples of telemetry and data captured from the Ford GT both in a street and racing setting.

“Multimatic is proud to continue our support of the Sports Car Performance Center racing exhibit, which focuses on the design, engineering, prototyping, development, testing, and manufacturing expertise behind winning racing programs,” the organization stated on social media.

It’s been a decade since the second-gen Ford GT broke cover at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The supercar began production in 2016 and began shipping out in December as a 2017 model year vehicle. Acquiring the Ford GT was an exclusive process in and of itself. Prospective owners had to apply to even get a chance of purchasing the supercar, and, unsurprisingly, it seemed to heavily favor more affluent customers.

The final second-gen Ford GT rolled off the assembly line in 2023. It’s not clear if the supercar will ever make a comeback, but it shouldn’t be ruled out, either.
