The Ford GT was conceived and built as a road-going interpretation
of the historic Ford GT40 race cars that proved Ford could triumph
over its international competitors. The Heritage Edition series
Ford GTs were hand-built to commemorate the winning Gulf
Oil-liveried Ford MKL GT40, chassis No. 175, which took consecutive
wins at Le Mans. One of just 343 cars built with stripes and
roundels that set it apart from the standard production run, this
GT has 3,348 actual miles (mileage not indicated on the title).
Powering this modern tribute to Ford racing history is a
supercharged 5.4-liter dual-overhead camshaft V8 engine. Capable of
a 0-60 mph blast in just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph,
the Ford GT has the performance to back up its Heritage Blue and
orange color scheme that stands as one of the most iconic liveries
in motorsports. With four camshafts and four valves per cylinder,
the aluminum block and head modular engine is factory-rated for
550hp at 6,500 rpm and 500 ft/lbs of torque at 3,750 rpm, a
considerable increase in power over the approximately 425hp engine
that powered the two-time-winning GT40. The mid-mounted engine is
backed by a Ricardo 6-speed manual transmission purpose engineered
for the Ford GT program. The sport-oriented interior is centered by
a pair of ventilated bucket seats for maximum control and comfort.
The Ford GT commands the road on a set of factory-issue BBS
one-piece aluminum-alloy wheels with Ford GT logo knock-off-style
center caps equipped with Goodyear Eagle F1 ultra-high-performance
compound tires.
