It is with great sadness that I have to share with you that Chris Svensson passed away yesterday.
As Ford’s Design Director for North America, Chris played in instrumental role in the development of the 2017 Ford GT and was also the owner of a 2017 Competition Series GT.
Chris had been fighting a courageous battle against cancer since late last year. He had an incredibly positive attitude throughout which was an inspiration to us all.
For those of us who had the privilege to know and work with Chris, he will always be remembered as a talented designer, a passionate advocate for building great cars - especially the Ford GT, but above all, a good friend.
Chris did not want a funeral but there may be a memorial service planned in the future.
Please keep Chris’ wife Sonia, and his daughters Hannah and Ella in your thoughts and prayers.
Godspeed, Chris.
