The Ford GT began as a concept car designed in anticipation of Ford's centennial
year and as part of its drive to showcase and revive its "heritage" names such
as Mustang and Thunderbird. Camillo Pardo the head of Ford's "Living Legends"
studio is credited as the chief designer of the GT and worked under the guidance
of Jay Mays. The designers drew inspiration from Ford's classic GT40 race cars
of the 1960s and the GT is sometimes mistaken for its 1960s counterpart.
