The Making of the Ford GT: America’s Modern Supercar

On this episode of Our American Stories, in 2003, Ford marked its 100th anniversary with something more than a celebration. The company decided to build a supercar that would honor its legendary Le Mans victories while proving it could still compete at the highest level of performance. The result was the Ford GT: a car that blended heritage and innovation in a way few vehicles ever have. Through the voices of industry leaders Neil Ressler, Scott Ahlman, and Mark McGowan, Jon Elfner tells the story of how the GT was designed, tested, and unleashed as America’s answer to Ferrari.
