==Description==
Unveiled at the 2015 North American International Auto Show alongside the 2015 Xbox One racing game Forza Motorsport 6, the second generation Ford GT was put into production in late 2016.

Ford claimed that the GT would "exhibit one of the best power-to-weight ratios of any production car", constructing the GT with a lightweight carbon fiber chassis. Underpinning the GT is a carbon fibermonocoque bolted to aluminum front and rear subframes covered in carbon fiber body panels. The car also has racing inspired pushrod suspension, active aerodynamics, and dihedral doors. The windshield of the vehicle is made of Gorilla Glass manufactured by Corning, which is also used for smartphone screens. Gorilla Glass is used to reduce the weight of the vehicle by allowing for a thinner windscreen with the same strength. The result is a dry weight of and a curb weight of , resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of per tonne under the curb weight or per tonne under the dry weight.
