How many Ford GT90s were made?
I’m nerding out about Ford supercars and learning so much! The GT90 is my favorite—how many of them are out there?

Ford made just one GT90 concept car. It was revealed at the 1995 Detroit Auto Show and was, at the time, the world’s fastest and most powerful car. Its six-liter turbocharged 12-cylinder engine was capable of 720 horsepower, which was totally unheard of at the time. Its engine was so powerful that ceramic plates were installed around the exhaust to keep it from damaging the car’s body with the heat it generated—a practice more common in space shuttles.
The GT90 had a top speed of 253 miles per hour and reached 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. It was designed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original GT40 that famously beat Ferrari in the 24 Hours at Le Mans endurance race in France in 1966.
Its space-age design, white paint job, and intense violet interior now come across as distinctly of the 90s—but back then, it was straight out of the future. The fact that only one of them was ever made makes it that much more interesting.
The GT returned once again in 2005, and most recently in 2016 for the 50th anniversary of the original GT40.
