According to the head of the team that designed the shape of the Ford GT, nothing on the car is accidental. The buttress in the quarter panel area at the rear of the car is not only a very distinctive feature, it also houses the intercooler discharge. The overall look retains something of the Ford GT40, the car that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times in a row, from 1966 to 1969.
