Concept vehicles pave the way for future models, and throughout its history, The Blue Oval has drummed up some interesting machines that never made it to production, but inspired consumer models all the same. One of those is the 1995 Ford GT90, which is currently on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California – and Ford Authority was able to check it out in person.
The 1995 Ford GT90 concept ushered in The Blue Oval’s “New Edge” design language defined by flat planes, sharp angles, and arcs that intersect each other. That design went on to inspire a number of production vehicles in the years that followed. As its name implies, the GT90 drew heavily from the Ford GT40, essentially paving the way for the release of the Ford GT later on. Its bodywork is composed of carbon fiber – and the build was completed by the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) in just over six months’ time.
Underpinning the 1995 Ford GT90 is a modified version of the aluminum monocoque found in the Jaguar XJ220. It harnesses the quad-turbo 5.9L V12 engine that’s rated for 720 horsepower. Combined with its light body, low stance, and aerodynamic styling, the Ford GT90 can reach up to 235 mph on track.
Ford Authority visited the 1995 Ford GT90 at the Petersen Museum’s “Modern Concepts” exhibit in July 2025, taking in its modern styling that was far ahead of its time. It’s hard to believe the concept is three decades old – it looks like it could have rolled off the assembly line just yesterday. We’re particularly enamored with the triangle-shaped taillights, which match the three-point exhaust outlet arrangement and its hood, too.
Fans can head to the Petersen Museum to check the 1995 Ford GT90 out for themselves, which is joined by one-off concepts from The Blue Oval’s competitors, such as the 2004 Chrysler ME Four-Twelve, the 1995 Chrysler Lugano, the 1998 Mobility Outfitters Gear Box, and the 2002 Cadillac Cien.
The patient is expected to make it.
It's one of 300 produced for the model year.
Hilariously claiming that it's getting a Tremor package.
Another nicely kept example of the luxurious sedan.

Dumbest concept car ever! It debuted at the same auto show as the new “oval” 1996 Taurus, so instantly Ford signaled the obsolescence of the new Taurus design language.
