Ford GT

“Immense thrust, unshakable grip and, head-turning looks – don't think you can go about your business in a Ford GT and not be noticed. It’s one of the coolest shapes on the road but also one of the best-performing cars you can buy. Period.” - Car and Driver Magazine

On February 1, 2004, the Ford Motor Company aired an extraordinary television commercial during Super Bowl XXXVIII’s pre-game show (click the Ford logo to watch the commercial).
