Paying tribute to the legendary Ford GT40 that won the 24 Hour at
Le Mans four times in a row. Ford introduced the development of the
GT in 2002 with production beginning in 2004 for Model Years 2005
and 2006. A total of 4,500 units were scheduled, but only 4,038
were actually produced.
The Ford GT features many new and unique technologies, including
superplastic-formed frame, aluminum body panels, roll-bonded floor
panels, a friction stir welded center tunnel, covered by a
magnesium center console, a "ship-in-a-bottle" gas tank, a capless
fuel filler system, one-piece door panels, and an aluminum engine
cover with a one-piece carbon fiber inner panel.
Brakes are four-piston aluminum Brembo calipers with cross-drilled
and vented rotors at all four corners. When the rear canopy is
opened, the rear suspension components and engine are visible.
The mid-mounted 5.4 L Modular V8 engine is all-aluminum with a
Lysholm twin screw-type supercharger. It features a forged rotating
assembly housed in an aluminum block designed specifically for the
GT program. A dry sump oiling system is employed, allowing the
engine to sit low in the car's frame. The DOHC 4-valve heads are a
revision of the 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R cylinder heads with
slightly increased wall casting thickness in the exhaust port. The
camshafts have unique specifications, with more lift and duration
than those found in the Shelby GT500. Power output is 550 HPat 6500
rpm and 500 lb�ft of torque at 3750 rpm.
A Ricardo six-speed manual transmission is fitted featuring a
helical limited-slip differential. Car and Driver tested the GT in
January 2004 and recorded a 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds, with a
5-60 MPH time of 3.7 seconds. Top Speed is 205 MPH and the quarter
mile is devoured in 11.8 Seconds.
In 2006, the GT was offered as a Heritage Edition and quickly
became the most sought after version with only 343 units
produced.
