In fact, Ford developed and engineered the GT with technologies intended to trickle down into future cars, trucks, SUVs, and even electric vehicles. Naturally, the GT made sense since its halo vehicle status could absorb some of the cost associated with experimental engineering. Foremost, the Ford GT's material usage foreshadows more mainstream usage in regular vehicles. And by "material usage," Ford means carbon fiber. Plenty of carbon fiber...
