How do you develop a car of the caliber of Ford GT, without the early spyshots emerge? Easy: you make sure that he is simply not outside to see.

Ford chose for the 600 hp strong supercar to develop in the cellar. Only a select group of employees was the key of this room, where, mainly at night. The six designers had to even their family voorliegen about the project where they were working. That project was not, incidentally, known as Project Ford GT, but got a mysterious code name: Phoenix.

“There were people who knew that somewhere we were doing, but actually no one knew about the hat and the edge,” said Moray Callum, the ontwerpbaas of Ford. “You can only have one time in this way to develop a car and I have to be myself still in my arm and squeeze, because everything went and is going according to plan.” (via: Automotive News)
