Need For Speed 2 was the first game I got as a kid with my Playstation 1. This car, the XJ220 and the Mclaren F1 have always been among my top tier cars because of this game.
For you to be able to sit in this peice of American history is amazing! Thank you for putting this out there, this car was the stuff of dreams for many kids like me that grew up in the 90's. Thank you!!
my jaw dropped when i heard that the gt90 prototype is here in my home state of oklahoma :D and at a motorsports museum i didn't know even existed im gonna have to revive an old birthday tradition of mine and come there this year the gt90 is my favorite car from ford racing and pgr lol and its every bit as awesome as i would have imagined
This car just transports me back to my childhood and me playing NFS II SE. I loved this car back then and I still love it now. 90's and even 2000's concept cars were crazy, one of the best eras. Nowadays everything is just too plain and unexciting.
I was just thinking of this car so I searched it up on TH-cam and you came up I appreciate it. Definitely would have my favorite looking cars of all time I love this thing. I saw it in a book when I was like 10 years old at school about concept cars and this just reignited all of that.
@@farfromaverageautomotive thanks man I'm only 14 hours from this car. Gonna make the drive one day. Crazy I'm not a 90s kid I'm an early 2000's kid I just really appreciate nice cars and this car was always beautiful to me as young kid. He honestly aged better over time.
The more I think about it, it would be cool to see jay Leno have this in his collection. Because at least we would see it run and drive. And perhaps one day they would hookup up all 4 turbos.

I raced as that thing all the time in Need for Speed 2 and I had a poster of it above my bed back in 1997. I haven’t thought about that thing since the 90s so thanks for the video. Does anyone else remember the Ford Indigo?
Hi doug demuro fan here, great job at finding this ! hopefully next time you can show us the interior a bit more take this as positive feedback, great video nonetheless thank you !
It never clicked for me why I loved the Jaguar XJ220 so much until I watched this video. I remember drooling over the GT90 in Gran Turismo 2, although I would never unlock it (until I used cheats years later as a teen with Codebreaker). Gran Turismo 3, however, I unlocked the XJ220 legit. Same for GT4, GT5, and GT6. Even if there are things that differentiate between the two, the XJ220 did carry a torch on behalf of the GT90 and was a great car across several games. I hope todays racing games could bring back the GT90 just for the new generation of car enthusiasts to try out.
Would be so sick my wife and I cleaned my closet this week and found my old 360 and i sped play though PG3 to unlock it in a day! So weird to play it in that game have been inside of it in real life!
I remember when I saw this car on one of the major automotive publications at the time...maybe Car & Driver. I was so disappointed that they didn't move forward with producing it. The design was wild! I loved the designs for concept cars that were coming out at the time. Brilliant. I do remember the publication bemoaned the fact that the tires weren't grippy and or useless due to the logo "GT90" being used as tread in the tires but it looked cool. Thanks for making this video! Oh and can we see the engine and see a start up?
Such a good looking car! . Looks so fresh even today! . FORD really need to put this into full production. Not some limited run nonsense . And do it soon before we can no longer buy petrol cars!
My favorite Ford ever produced. This car was my absolute jam in Sega GT 2002 (Xbox) and Rush 2 (N64). Such a shame it never saw production. The GT90 and Chrysler ME Four-Twelve will forever be my favorite American hypercars. A reminder that Detroit used to be capable of producing world-dominating hypercars.
Forgot about PGR3 somehow. Sad how little representation this car got in video games, considering its radical, very futuristic design and performance. I would kill over dead if the latest Forza Horizon game did a retro prototype DLC drop that included the ME412 and GT90.
Nice. I have a die cast of this car that I treasured as a kid, I was always kinda mad that they never built it. I'd looked for more recent info on it and never found much, thanks for showing it off.
Maybe you also remeber the secret Hollywood track with that gigantic jump in blade runner set of the track. And maybe you rember that it was totally possible to kick the little indigos out of the way with a car like the GT90. I know a old friend of mine loved to do that back in the day. He was facinated every single time seeing the indigos flying around from that jump XD
If Ford had made it then, this would undisputedly would have the same value Mclaren F1 has today. This car had better specs than the F1. GT90 will probably remain my favourite concept car of all time.
That would be awesome! Though I highly doubt this was up to code in the 90's and it certainly isn't today. Would absolutely need design changes to meet today's safety standards and current manufacturing processes. Especially to be priced at Z06 pricing.
Why have two mid-engine production cars? the Ford GT in 05 and 17+ proved that its the only one the mainstream cares about... GT90 was a concept that lead to the Ford GT concept in 2002/03
I remember when this popped up in the mid 90s. If I recall, the design was the concept to see if the public would accept it. The UK Ford's following it had similar sharp lines (Focus Mk1 and Fiesta definitely)
Same thoughts i just recently googled if ford managing to start producing this development , but unfortunately no , but anyway who knows if we got a huge number of people asking for it on their ford performance ig account , they may think about it if we kept the pressure up on them
That would be amazing all though I feel like that would be tricky since the only own is in a privet collection I would think this guy would need to sign off on it !
My first experience with this car was as a 1:18 scale die cast model made by the Maisto brand, back when I was a kid in the 90's. Then, in Gran Turismo. This car is more iconic than most give it credit, as it gave birth to Ford's New Edge design. The Puma, Cougar, Mustang, Mondeo, Ka, and other Ford cars from this time all owe their very characteristic look to this car. I'm glad this car is still being kept, even as just a display piece. I read last person who owned it kept it in very poor shape, pretty much forgotten in storage. The car's mechanical components are all in pretty bad shape and it barely starts, if it even does. You can kind of see it's a bit rough. Although unlikely, I hope someday, someone can take on the task of restoring this unique piece. Or at least see it in a modern video game. Although that is also unlikely due to licensing. But one can hope!
@@farfromaverageautomotive back in the mid-90s it was an amazing car for sure and still is. The 90s really weren't a great decade for automotive styling to begin with. I feel like a lot of Automotive styling from the 90s hasn't aged well. I wouldn't say anything bad about the GT90 I just never got it personally. It is incredibly unique and iconic and there's no other car quite like it that's for sure. I would love to watch a video on what iterative design styling concept was behind this car and how they arrived at what they finally did. The guys on the design team for this who are still with us they should all be interviewed.
Same here I was reference by project Gotham racing. I'm drooling for someone to complete this project. Not asking to seek optimal performance, but just enough for the streets. Would like to see the turbo hooked up properly. That oozing sound gives me the vibes.
@@farfromaverageautomotive The scene was when Marty was in the town square in the future, the GT90 was parked in the background. Can't remember if it was before or after the 3D shark lunged at him from the movie theater billboard.
Um it's not in that movie be cause back to the future came to theaters in 1989! This gt90 was from 1995. There is a white bean shaped concept car in there parked next to the Cafe 80's. And that is the 1987 Pontiac pursuit. Motorweek tv did a review on it. And that's on you tube. So maybe you got it confused with that.
That's back to the future 2. And it was interesting to see the Pontiac dealer sign in the town square since Pontiac went dead in 2010. So the movie got that one wrong.
This set the "New Edge" design language for Ford in the mid 90's - you can see the influence mostly on the European range, models like the original Focus, Ka, Puma, Cougar and Mondeo which were everywhere.
I found out about the GT-90 from a magazine article in my middle school's library. This car was ULTRA state of the art for its time even remember they used a special technique to weld the two v6 Cosworth blocks together to make the v12.
I never knew why they didn't sell this made to order. They clearly did all the R&D to make it driveable, if they sold it made to order, a bunch of millionaires would have paid whatever they charged and at least we'd have a few in the wild.
They would've had to slaughter an XJ220 for every car they made. Since Jaguar ended the production run for the XJ220, because they lost money on every unit sold, they were basically out 250.000$ of then-money for every car before adding the changes. It was simply deemed too expensive and also they didn't want to butcher that many XJ220, and developing a whole new chassis would've been prohibitively expensive.
@@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443 They were also using a heavily modified powertrain that was borrowed from an Aston Martin, and they didn't want to eat into the new model sales at the time. But I seriously would have sacrificed Aston Martin (at the time) for the GT90 given the long-term value of the car.
Fell in love with this car when I was a kid, my first Xbox game was Sega GT 2002 and it was one of the cover cars! Great video, do you know what the history is on that mustang @2:52 in the background? Love the 05-09 Mustang race cars
Yup she's the one that got away. I had the die cast model as a kid and always wonder why I never seen it around. No production which sucks for missed out on that one.
Id never be able to own one but ford should have went forward on this (they still can with updates) idk about anyone else but I had this diecast model and i loved this
I have seen it in person. My ex girlfriend worked at the Golden Eagle (GE) as a server, the GE was attached to the The Dearborn Inn Marriott. The Big wigs would bring friends a business partners to the GE after running the GT 90 at the Ford Proving Grounds which was right across the street on Oakwood and Rotunda. I got a close look one day when we went to pick up her paycheck. I also saw it at distance in 94-95. I went to Stout middle school which is right across Rotunda southeast of the test track. of course in has something like 12ft walls, but the track has a big hill and I could hear it and would see it crest the hill.
@@farfromaverageautomotive What was sick was their executive dinners when they would order a bottle of $3000-4000 Louie XIII cognac, a couple bottles of $200-300 wine and their food. She and her co-workers would clear $400-500 each in tips for the night.
@@joreal3759 It has an engine and it runs, though VERY poor. This prototype was fully functional and the engine was made entirely by Ford. Before the museum took it, the car was being held in storage without much care. Last time someone attempted to start it, it barely did.
My high school dream car haha. Still looks insane even by today's standards. It was the original design concept for Ford's "new edge" styling era. These days I do chuckle at the "253mph" top speed, pretty sure Ford never tested that claim, I'm not sure the GT90 has ever been driven hard in it's entire existence.
@@farfromaverageautomotive Oof that would mean they would have to take a loss bringing it to a reasonable sales price and limit the production as well.
Thank you very much for that video. I am very sorry that this car is the only one. I first saw that car in need for speed 2 and it blew me away. That car belongs to the class of mclaren f1 lamborghini diablo and ferrari f 50. You are literally living my dream as far as that car is concerned

To overcome the issue with having no visibility the car has sensors next to the doors and if another car is next to it a small red light comes on in the rear view mirrors.
This car was going to be unbelievable, but ..... Imagine a car made in 1995 can reach 400km/h for a stock one!!!! And its body is this brilliant this car is just the best car that never went under production, imagine must of today's high tuned cars cannot dream to reach that....just a mind-blowing

Um it's not in that movie be cause back to the future came to theaters in 1989! This gt90 was from 1995. There is a white bean shaped concept car in there parked next to the Cafe 80's. And that is the 1987 Pontiac pursuit. Motorweek tv did a review on it. And that's on you tube. So maybe you got it confused with that.
That's back to the future 2.
And it was interesting to see the Pontiac dealer sign in the town square since Pontiac went dead in 2010.
So the movie got that one wrong.
I've always Loved this Car. I love everything about it. Especially the triangle them. That's what's makes it unique ❤❤❤🥰❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
We couldn’t agree more!
I hope that Polyphony can come and scan it for a future Gran Turismo game
That would be cool!
I can't believe Ford would not keep this car forever.
Pretty wild!
GT90 shoulda been made, looks so rad!
I agree
I agree as well it totally should be made.
This set the "New Edge" design language for Ford in the mid 90's - you can see the influence mostly on the European range, models like the original Focus, Ka, Puma, Cougar and Mondeo which were everywhere.
Intresting!
I'd love to see this in a modern racing game
Right?!
I found out about the GT-90 from a magazine article in my middle school's library. This car was ULTRA state of the art for its time even remember they used a special technique to weld the two v6 Cosworth blocks together to make the v12.
That’s pretty cool!
The GT-90 V12 was made of using parts from two of Ford's modular V8's and not V6's.
I hope someone makes a kit car from that design, I wanna see more gt90 on the road
Right?!
@@farfromaverageautomotive I would pay big money to have a kit car replica
@@benjaminmaher8896 we would too!
incredible to see a proper HD walkaround of this thing
Thank you!
Ford racing for the PS2.
❤
Yup!
My hands down favorite car in many of the racing games I played.
Us too!
I never knew why they didn't sell this made to order. They clearly did all the R&D to make it driveable, if they sold it made to order, a bunch of millionaires would have paid whatever they charged and at least we'd have a few in the wild.
Would have been sick!
They would've had to slaughter an XJ220 for every car they made. Since Jaguar ended the production run for the XJ220, because they lost money on every unit sold, they were basically out 250.000$ of then-money for every car before adding the changes. It was simply deemed too expensive and also they didn't want to butcher that many XJ220, and developing a whole new chassis would've been prohibitively expensive.
Ford could have bought licensing for the XJ and just made a copy of it., allready lengthened for the GT90
@@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443 They were also using a heavily modified powertrain that was borrowed from an Aston Martin, and they didn't want to eat into the new model sales at the time. But I seriously would have sacrificed Aston Martin (at the time) for the GT90 given the long-term value of the car.
Somebody needs to make this into a kit car
Could not agree more!
Need For Speed Brings Me To This Car and I Never Forget it, it's a Dream Car
It is for a lot of us!
It's really a timeless design
Yea it is!
Fell in love with this car when I was a kid, my first Xbox game was Sega GT 2002 and it was one of the cover cars! Great video, do you know what the history is on that mustang @2:52 in the background? Love the 05-09 Mustang race cars
I do not he had a BUNCH of stuff I’m sorry but if your ever near her go check them out!
Yup she's the one that got away. I had the die cast model as a kid and always wonder why I never seen it around. No production which sucks for missed out on that one.
Such a neat car!
Id never be able to own one but ford should have went forward on this (they still can with updates) idk about anyone else but I had this diecast model and i loved this
I agree it’s such a timeless car!
Also had a diecast model -- it was so awesome, was one of my favourites along with the Shelby Cobra and Dodge 1992 Viper.
Don’t forget Need For Speed, that’s how I know this car. What makes this the coolest car ever? The fact that you can’t own it.
I said need for speed but had to reshoot that so many times the one we went with did not have it! Sorry!
I never realized how the front looks like a futuristic GT40
Haha right??
It was the planned successor actually.
The NFS2 car of my dreams as a kid
Me too!
@@farfromaverageautomotive I always wondered why nobody knew what it was.
I have seen it in person. My ex girlfriend worked at the Golden Eagle (GE) as a server, the GE was attached to the The Dearborn Inn Marriott. The Big wigs would bring friends a business partners to the GE after running the GT 90 at the Ford Proving Grounds which was right across the street on Oakwood and Rotunda. I got a close look one day when we went to pick up her paycheck. I also saw it at distance in 94-95. I went to Stout middle school which is right across Rotunda southeast of the test track. of course in has something like 12ft walls, but the track has a big hill and I could hear it and would see it crest the hill.
That’s sick!
@@farfromaverageautomotive What was sick was their executive dinners when they would order a bottle of $3000-4000 Louie XIII cognac, a couple bottles of $200-300 wine and their food. She and her co-workers would clear $400-500 each in tips for the night.
@@Wes_Is_A_Mess that’s super nice!
I can't believe you didn't show us the engine.
who said it had an engine
@@joreal3759 It has an engine and it runs, though VERY poor. This prototype was fully functional and the engine was made entirely by Ford. Before the museum took it, the car was being held in storage without much care. Last time someone attempted to start it, it barely did.
Not true he took it to a Dallas auto show and reved it for a while!
It has a engine it’s just hard to acsess
The Toyota Sera is probably the closest bubble canopy to this, but the Sera's windshield is still not a continuous piece of glass to the roof.
That’s sick I need to look it up!
buy it
I bought one back in the '90s. It came in a plastic bubble with a cardboard back. Cost me $1.49
That’s awesome!!
My high school dream car haha. Still looks insane even by today's standards. It was the original design concept for Ford's "new edge" styling era. These days I do chuckle at the "253mph" top speed, pretty sure Ford never tested that claim, I'm not sure the GT90 has ever been driven hard in it's entire existence.
The owner had some story’s but all under 200
Nfs2 has the best selection of cars!
Yea it did!
I wonder what would a production model actually cost in today’s money. And how much would it cost Ford to revive it today?
That idk it cost them 3,000,000 to make this one in 95!
@@farfromaverageautomotive Oof that would mean they would have to take a loss bringing it to a reasonable sales price and limit the production as well.
@@lrod312 but at the same time Bugatti did that with the Vayron!
@@farfromaverageautomotive You mean Veyron.
doug needs to get a hold of this car & do a quirks & features review
Would be cool but i enjoy being only one!
Still looks modern!
Right?!
They need to remake it as an EV. It was one of my NFS2 favorites
I agree!!
Thank you very much for that video. I am very sorry that this car is the only one. I first saw that car in need for speed 2 and it blew me away. That car belongs to the class of mclaren f1 lamborghini diablo and ferrari f 50. You are literally living my dream as far as that car is concerned
@@-teki9- hey thanks man! It was VERY surreal to get my hands on it and I’m still beyond grateful for the opportunity that I was given to film this and in shock, I have a pic on my desk at work of my wife and I sitting inside of it!
Too bad they never made more of these. Need for Speed 2 it was a fun car to drive
Yes it was!
this is a legend that was never born :(
i still have 1:18 scale model die cast from maisto i think, after 16 years
only clip i knew with this car was the need for speed 2 clip i watched thousands of times
how could some one say this is an ugly design i cant never understand
what a shame
It’s such a iconic car!
You beat Doug DeMuro. That’s the guy that counts, in this case. Thanks for creating and posting.
It’s a honor!!🫡
Loved this car as a child, really old computer game had this as a choice, super sick 🤙
Core memory!
This was my favorite hot wheels growing up
So sick! I just got the hot wheel after filming to put in my office!
This was my dream car as a kid, my dad bought me a scale model of it. Super cool car
That’s so sick!
You beat them to it, and the best part is they don’t care because it isn’t about beating.
Jay smiles along :D
True but still cool to do as a smaller you tube
I remember seeing that car in magazines as a kid.
Such a iconic car!
@@farfromaverageautomotive I want to see the 2006 concept camaro because it's not even been seen I know there are 4 of the concept camaros one a convertible In orange and a silver one and a red one owned by some gm head and last the bumblebee concept 2007 one
Super wild. We saw this at the Detroit auto show in 95!
THats so cool!!!!
Start it up. As a kid I wanted to hear it. Rev it too. One time😂.
We tried owner said no!
This was my favorite hot wheel growing up, this and the orange dragster s10😂😂 simple times those were
Lol yes they where!
I also had the 1:16 model of the GT90 growing up. I never realized how crazy the specs are on the car .
Right it’s unreal!
I remember this was the first supercar car I’d ever seen in Sega 2002 racing
No idea it was a 250mph V12
Yes sir! Crazy right??
Ford was going for 220mph.
Witch was the automotive top speed stratosphere in 1995.
To overcome the issue with having no visibility the car has sensors next to the doors and if another car is next to it a small red light comes on in the rear view mirrors.
Aye okay! That’s cool!
This car was going to be unbelievable, but ..... Imagine a car made in 1995 can reach 400km/h for a stock one!!!! And its body is this brilliant this car is just the best car that never went under production, imagine must of today's high tuned cars cannot dream to reach that....just a mind-blowing
It was a golden idea that was not used to its potential.
Did you forgot the McLaren F1 and its BMW S70/2 Engine?
ahh, I got one of these in 1:18 size since late 90's... love it!
So sick I still need to get one for my office I have the hot wheel of it on my wall!
