The retro-inspired speed machine has barely been touched in 16 years.
Ford really outdid itself with its first supercar. The Ford GT looks remarkably similar to the GT40. Designed Camilo Pardo wisely held on to the racer’s curvaceous body—just look at its long nose, sculpted hood and large rear fenders—though the newer vehicle is bigger, specifically three inches taller. Despite staying true to the essence of the original, the car—finished in Mark IV Red offset by white racing stripes and Ford decals—feels thoroughly modern, even when.
Just as beautiful as the exterior is the powerplant that keeps the Ford GT going. Mounted mid-rear is a 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 that is mated to a Ricardo six-speed transaxle manual gearbox that sends power to the the rear axle. It can produce 550 hp and 500 ft lbs of torque, allowing the car to rocket from zero to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 205 mph. Not bad for a vehicle inspired by one of the greatest race cars of all time.
. We’re guessing someone will be more than willing to pay that for such a special American speed machine.
