The Ford GT is a remarkable blend of history, innovation, and high-performance engineering. Originally inspired by the legendary GT40 that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1960s, the Ford GT has become an icon in its own right.

This, the second-generation GT arrived in 2016 with a focus on advanced technology, aerodynamics, and lightweight materials. A race-bred machine that celebrated Ford’s motorsport legacy by returning to Le Mans, where it won its class in 2016, exactly 50 years after the original GT40’s victory.

Limited to just over 1,350 hand-built units, Ford selected potential owners who were invited to purchase the car and it quickly became a highly sought after collector car.

At the core of the GT lies a bespoke carbon fibre tub with pushrod suspension front and rear, plus a seven speed Getrag dual-clutch gearbox that’s integrated within the rear suspension. All the body panels are made from carbon fibre, the vast majority of its metal components are made from aluminium. All up it weighs just 1385kg dry making it lighter than any of its more obvious rivals.

Powered by a race proven 638 bhp 3.5-litre twin turbo V6 it will go from zero to 60mph in 2.8sec and on to a top speed of 216mph. It features five different drive modes: Wet, Comfort, Sport, Track and V-max. In Sport and Track there is an anti-lag system that eliminates turbo lag by keeping the turbines spinning irrelevant of the throttle position.

The GT’s handling dynamics, coupled with its lightweight construction and aerodynamic design, made it one of the best-handling supercars of its time, and it has the racing pedigree and exotic feel of a fully-fledged hypercar.

There's still nothing quite like the GT; as a key car of Ford’s competition history, not to mention the direct and unabated connection to the racer that won its class at Le Mans, it's utterly unique.
