Vehicle Description
2006 Ford GT in Gray w/Black interior.Supercharged 5.4L V-8 6-speed
manual transaxle.Most car buff's know the legend of the mighty Ford
GT.� The original GT40 was a world beater on international race
tracks across the world.� It won the 24hrs. of Le Mans four
consecutive times from '66-'69!When word got out that Ford was
going to bring back the Ford GT speculation was at a fever pitch!�
The new GT began life as a concept car designed in anticipation of
the automaker's centennial year and as part of its drive to
showcase and revive its "heritage" names like Mustang and
Thunderbird.� It was unveiled at the '02 Detroit Auto Show.� Camilo
Pardo the then head of Ford's "Living Legends" studio is credited
as the chief designer of the GT and worked under the guidance of j.
Mays and Carroll Shelby the original designer of the Shelby GT 500
was brought in by Ford to help develop the GT; which included
performance testing of the prototype car. While under development
the project was called Petunia.The GT is similar in outward
appearance to the original GT40 but is bigger wider and most
importantly 3 in (76 mm) taller than the original's 40 in (100 cm)
overall height; as a result a potential name for the car was the
GT43. Although the cars are visually related structurally there is
no similarity between the modern GT and the 1960s GT40 that
inspired it. Three pre-production cars were shown to the public in
2003 as part of Ford's centenary celebrations and delivery of the
production version called simply the Ford GT began in the fall of
2004.The GT was built for only two short years but boy did it make
a great first impression!� And the years have been nothing but kind
to the car's legacy.This one owner example is an '06 of which only
1919 units were built that year.� It's in showroom condition having
traveled only 1800 since new and is equipped with all four of the
most desirable options; Stripes Red brake caliper 10-spoke wheels
and Macintosh audio system! Visit Corvette Mike online at
