In the mid-90’s, the Ford Motor Company was just beginning to embrace a new design language, dubbed “New Edge.” This styling would give us the SN95 Mustangs, the ugly round Taurus, among many other less-flattering Ford vehicles. While the design language itself wasn’t enormously popular with consumers, the New Edge-inspired GT90 concept certainly was.

An employee of video card maker Nvidia is currently in the midst of building a ground-up homage to the GT90 concept, which he has become obsessed with. Too much free time, or just a lot of passion and desire?

Adam Pintek is an avid video gamer and supercar fanatic. Pintek first met the GT90 while playing a Need for Speed video game, and has since decided to build his own. And we’re not talking about a Pontiac Fiero rebody here, but a complete homage built from the ground up. With a mid-front engine layout, a 1,000 horsepower twin-turbo 6.2 liter V8 engine, and a target weight of less than 1,800 pounds, this is more car than the actual GT90 concept.

Pintek is working with an F1 race car builder right now to figure out the tube chassis and body panels, and the GT90 is going to take many months to come together. And yet this dedication to a concept largely forgotten by a once-adoring public really endears us to Pintek’s work. We can’t wait to see the finish product.
