Check out all the coolest features on the $400,000 Ford GT supercar

Ford's GT supercar was revealed at the Detroit auto show in 2015 and, a little over a year later, the racing version won the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans and notched a second in the 2017 race.
That meant that the race car and the road car had to be developed at the same time.
And unlike the GT's on-track competition in the IMSA WeatherTech series in North America and the World Endurance Championship in Europe, the GT was really a race car first.
The Ferrari 488, Corvette C7R, and Porsche 911, among others, were longstanding road-car designs that happened to be track worthy.
Now that the GT is starting to be delivered to owners - only 250 in the first year of production - we can see what race-car elements influenced and in many ways determined the design.
Of course not everything was crafted for hardcore performance. The GT has plenty of features that have nothing to do with turning fast laps.
