Bill Ford Jr. and Mark Fields introduce the new Ford GT in Detroit
Starting in the fall of 2014 there were vague-yet-recurring rumblings about Ford building an all-new Ford GT. This rumor resurfaced every couple years after the 2005-2006 Ford GT ended production in October of 2006, making it hard to take this one seriously. At first…

That was the first press day of the 2015 Detroit auto show, and Ford had the first press conference that day.
