Stemming from a failed acquisition of Ferrari, an understandably frustrated Ford enlisted Carroll Shelby and others to build a racing car with one mission: to beat Ferrari at Le Mans. With their goals set high, the GT40 became the most iconic and successful underdog in Le Mans history. Arriving in prototype form just in time for Ford's centennial celebration in 2003, the Ford GT borrowed heavily from the stunning design and profile of the GT40 and set out on a similar mission: to compete with, and surpass, the established supercars. The ultra-high performance Ford GT showcases the finest in advanced technologies, constructed on a lightweight aluminum chassis clothed in superplastic-formed lightweight composite and aluminum body panels. Powered by a mid-mounted, hand-built, supercharged quad-cam 550bhp V8 engine mated to a 6-speed manual transaxle and featuring racing derived suspension and braking systems, the GT avails the driver of astounding performance and power. With this prolific power, the Ford GT will accelerate from 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds, hurtling on to some 205mph before the speed limiter kicks in. When production ceased in 2006, with just over 4,000 Ford GTs produced, the epic Ford had made its mark on automotive history once again - and became an instant collector's car. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED This stunning 2006 model-year Ford GT is offered in incredible original condition with fewer than 2,700 total miles since new. The car finished assembly by hand, at the Wixom, MI based Ford plant during May of 2006, and benefits from many of the improvements carried out during the production run. This capable American supercar was finished as it appears today in striking Mark IV Red, a color that highlights the design and curves of its muscular lightweight bodywork. Adding to its desirability, this GT was specified with the desirable four factory options; the luxurious McIntosh stereo system, lightweight alloy rims, painted calibers and the bold painted Shelby Le Mans stripes down the center of the car. According to the CARFAX issued for this car, the GT received its Pre-Delivery Inspection by King Ford of Murphy, North Carolina in July of 2006, and was sold later that month, to a first owner who appears to have resided in Sarasota, FL. The GT was serviced in the Sarasota, FL region over the next years. By 2016, the Ford GT had migrated West to California, where it is recorded with just 2,452 miles on the odometer. Purchased by the current and 3rd caretaker in 2017, the Ford GT has since resided in his prominent collection of sports and performance cars. Today this potent supercar has less than 2,700 miles on the odometer and shows impeccably well in original condition throughout. The Ford GT is part of a rare class of modern cars that instantly became collectible and have become more and more sought after. Given its inimitable heritage, prolific performance, stunning design, and thrilling driving experience, Ford's supercar is a unique creation that will undoubtedly be revered for years to come. This particular GT offers a great opportunity to add a low mileage and well-specified example to any collection.
