2017 Ford GT Fitted With Gorilla Glass Windows
Ford Motor Company is teaming up with Corning Gorilla Glass to create the first-ever car windows made with super-strong Gorilla Glass, which is typically used on tablet screens and smartphones.
This new feature will be added to the 2017 Ford GT supercar with hopes to reduce the vehicle weight and increase the crack-resistance of the windows.
The windows are made of three layers of transparent material, with a Gorilla Glass-based hybrid on the inside, traditional annealed glass on the outside, and noise-absorbing thermoplastic in between. Ford says they’re up to 50 percent thinner than traditional windows, and will knock 12 pounds off the GT’s weight.
