What color is the wind tunnel tested GT? It looks darker than tungsten. Very nice.

Did you notice the track app on the touch screen while the guy was cruising around the track? (You can see this at 4:28) I hope they implement a track app similar to V box.

Pe2unia, you have it on your car. Your track performance in Utah forced Ford to shut it off electronically.

Great find. I’d love to see other vids that focus on the development of other systems in the car, in particular the transmission, suspension and cooling systems. All of which were built specifically for the GT. Every time I see panels removed, I’m in awe at the intricacy of them.
