BACKGROUND

Bringing a modern digital cockpit to an iconic supercar

When Ford reintroduced the legendary Ford GT, the goal was not just to revive an icon but to redefine the modern supercar experience. With a 660-horsepower EcoBoost V6 and carbon-fiber architecture, the vehicle demanded a digital cockpit that matched its engineering precision.

 

We designed and developed the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and digital driver display, creating a cockpit experience that reflects the car’s performance DNA.

THE CHALLENGES

Addressing the

critical gaps

Adaptive single-screen driver display

Design a digital cluster that seamlessly adapts across drive modes while maintaining clarity at high speeds.

Real-time performance visualization

Real-time performance visualization

Translate complex vehicle telemetry into clear, intuitive visuals that drivers can interpret instantly.

A distinctive visual language

A distinctive visual language

Create an interface inspired by racing performance and aviation cockpit systems.

Automotive-grade performance optimization

Automotive-grade performance optimization

Develop graphics, assets, and animations optimized for high-performance automotive hardware.

SYNC Gen 3 Integration

SYNC Gen 3 Integration

Test and deploy the HMI within Ford’s SYNC Gen 3 infotainment framework while ensuring reliability and responsiveness.

Integrated Approach

THE ROBOSOFT SOLUTION

An integrated approach

Aviation-inspired interface design

Aviation-inspired interface design

Drawing inspiration from fighter jet cockpits, the interface emphasizes bold numeric data, progressive tachometer visuals, and high-contrast performance cues.

Adaptive drive mode experience

Adaptive drive mode experience

The display dynamically adapts across Wet, Sport, and V-Max modes, adjusting layout density, tachometer behavior, color schemes, and performance indicators.

Information on Demand (IoD)

Information on Demand (IoD)

Drivers can access additional metrics such as engine temperature, oil data, and tire pressure through a layered interface without cluttering the main display.

UX architecture and wireframing

UX architecture and wireframing

End-to-end UX journeys, structured wireframes, and progressive high-fidelity designs ensured usability and technical feasibility.

HMI development and validation

HMI development and validation

Display assets, animated transitions, and interactive prototypes were developed and tested in CGI studio environments before final deployment.
