Ford’s 2016 GT supercar is making its second appearance on US soil at this week’s Chicago Auto Show, with a new color twist.

Instead of the Detroit show car’s racing blue hue, this one is finished in a more purposeful “Liquid Silver” color with matte black double-racing stripes and gloss-black alloy wheels.

In related news, Canadian media are reporting that Ford confirmed production of the new GT at a company in Markham, Canada, named Multimatic, with Ford’s president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs telling The Star that the privately-held global auto parts supplier was chosen “because of its expertise in carbon fibre”.

Hinrichs also told reporters that while pricing and production numbers will be announced at a later stage, Ford will make “fewer GTs and they will cost more than the previous GT” because of its carbon fiber construction that’s more expensive than the older aluminum model.
