| NHTSA Crash-Test
Results The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. |
2-door coupe | |
| Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: |
5 = 10% or less 4 = 10-20% 3 = 20-35% 2 = 35-45% 1 = More than 45%. |
|||
| Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: | 5 = 5% or less 4 = 6-10% 3 = 11-20% 2 = 21-25% 1 = More than 26%. |
|||
| Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: | 5 = Less than 10% 4 = 10-20% 3 = 20-30% 2 = 30-40% 1 = More than 40% |

This is why
| A British company, Safir Engineering, who made
continuation GT40's in the 1980's owned the GT40 trademark at that time, and
when they completed production, they sold the excess parts, tooling, design,
and trademark to a small Ohio company called Safir GT40 Spares. Safir GT40 Spares licensed the use of the GT40 trademark to Ford for the initial 2002 show car, but when Ford decided to make the production vehicle, negotiations between the two failed, and as a result the new Ford GT does not wear the badge GT40. It is rumored that Safir GT40 Spares asked $40 million dollars for the rights, but this has never been verified. The partners at Safir GT40 Spares state they have correspondence from Ford declining Safir's $8 million offer. |
| FORD GT SUPERCAR WITH EXTRUDED ALUMINUMSPACE FRAME REVOLUTIONIZES HOW SPORTSCARS ARE DESIGNED AND BUILT The Ford GT all-aluminum space frame is comprised of 35 extrusions, seven complex castings, two semi-solid formed castings, and various stamped aluminum panels. The structure has two unique features: A large center tunnel to house the mid-mounted fuel tank, and cut-out roof sections for the cantilevered doors.

Friction stir welding: Another contributor to chassis rigidity is the industry's first application of friction-stir welding, in the multi-piece central aluminum tunnel. |
