The Ford GT began life as a concept car designed in anticipation of
the automaker's centennial year and as part of its drive to
showcase and revive its "heritage" names such as Mustang and
Thunderbird. At the 2002 North American International Auto Show,
Ford unveiled a new GT40 Concept car. Camilo Pardo, the then head
of Ford's "Living Legends" studio, is credited as the chief
designer of the GT and worked under the guidance of J Mays. Carroll
Shelby, the original designer of the Shelby GT 500, was brought in
by Ford to help develop the GT; which included performance testing
of the prototype car. While under development, the project was
called Petunia.
The GT is similar in outward appearance to the original GT40 but is
bigger, wider, and most importantly 4 in (100 mm) taller than the
original's 40 in (100 cm) overall height; as a result, a potential
name for the car was the GT44. Although the cars are visually
related, structurally, there is no similarity between the modern GT
and the 1960s GT40 that inspired it. After six weeks from the
unveiling of the GT40 concept, Ford announced a limited production
run of the car. Three pre-production cars were shown to the public
in 2003 as part of Ford's centenary celebrations, and delivery of
the production version called simply the Ford GT began in the fall
of 2004.
As the Ford GT was built as part of the company's 100th-anniversary
celebration, the left headlight cluster was designed to read
"100"
