Description
With the tag line XCOP (Extreme Car for Ordinary People), Ford Motor Company presents T-40 by concept blending with GT-40 and model-T in the year of 2020. This car will let ordinary people experience an extreme super car with lower cost than the current Ford GT model. With its extremely high performance generated from magnetic levitation wheel motors, it benefits by reducing maximum mechanical components from the vehicle leaving an extremely light weight vehicle with a low production cost. Its inspiration, the cheetah, allows this car to have more dynamic and athletic sculptural form on its proportion.
