Vehicle Description
If we were to personify automakers, we'd probably identify Ford as
'the quiet guy you have to watch out for'. They're not the biggest.
They're not the loudest. But when they put their muscle behind
something, they're usually the best. Case in point: the success of
the brand's hallowed GT super car. Developed in a high-stakes
grudge match, the original GT40 proved America had the chops to
beat the best manufacturers on the planet. And with the advent of
this six-figure stunner, Dearborn showed it had the heritage and
expertise to continue its legacy as one of the world's premier
transportation companies. Apparently the public agrees, since,
despite a global recession, GT transaction prices have more than
doubled merely a decade after production ended. Having spent most
of its life in a Ford dealer's garage, this 131-mile GT wraps a 550
horsepower, all-American V8 in world-class engineering. Looking for
a killer exotic that's virtually guaranteed to be exclusive? Time
to take off those Rosso colored glasses!
ROSSO CORSA
A fitting follow-up to the original GT40, this incredible coupe
utilizes a lightweight, all-aluminum body that optimizes
aerodynamics to the tune of 3.3-second 0-60 sprints and an
electronically limited top speed of 205 MPH. That body, which rides
on roll-bonded floors, reflects a clean CarFax report with the help
of racy Mark IV Red paint, standard GT side stripes and optional
painted racing stripes. Baubles and bolt-ons are kept to a minimum,
with a standard aero package complementing HID headlamps, halogen
fog lights and two body-matched mirrors. And, while we all know it
isn't easy to create a legendary exotic that'll stand tall among
peers and competitors alike, the car's excellent build quality is a
literal testament to Dearborn's world-class design.
SUPERCHARGED, NOT TURBO
When it comes to refined power, it's hard to go wrong with a Ford
mod motor. Specifically created for the GT program, this car's 5.4
liter V8 is founded on a unique aluminum block that benefits from
dry-sump lubrication. A forged rotating assembly plays well with
four GT-specific cams and reengineered heads that were borrowed
from SVT's awesome Mustang Cobra R. And all that proven hardware
spins under a Lysholm twin-screw supercharger to the tune of 550
horsepower and 500 lb./ft. of torque. That torque flows through a
Ricardo 6-speed transaxle, which powers a helical limited-slip
differential. That drivetrain rides in a fully independent
suspension, which is married to a sturdy, superplastic-formed
frame. Turns come courtesy of power rack-and-pinion steering. Stops
come courtesy of two 14-inch cross-drilled discs, two 13.2-inch
cross-drilled discs and red Brembo 4-piston calipers, which make
good use of electronic brake distribution and standard anti-lock
technology. The big engine roars through big stainless pipes. And
all that track-ready prowess grips through 1-piece BBS alloys,
which twist 235/45ZR18 Goodyear Eagle F1s in front of 315/40ZR19
Goodyear Eagle F1s.
SPEED AND COMFORT
Naturally, this GT's interior is every bit as nice as its
lightweight shell. Gone are the days of cramped capacity and
Lexan-induced scorch as a 3-inch higher profile combines with
factory air conditioning to provide 21st century comfort. Step over
the car's "Ford" branded sills and you'll find lightweight carbon
fiber buckets that stretch plush leather trim under retro aluminum
grommets. In front of those seats, an Azdel Superlite Composite
dash hangs clean telemetry above retro switches and a factory CD
player. At the bottom of that dash, clean carpet frames metal foot
pedals and a magnesium console, which rides on a friction
stir-welded tunnel that houses the car's fuel tank. At the edges of
that carpet, 1-piece door panels found keyless power door locks
beneath factory power windows and requisite power mirrors. And in
front of the driver, a leather-wrapped steering wheel laps a
tilting and telescoping column.
This storied Dearborn super star is an impressive, track-capable
investment that's highly exclusive and scary fast! Comfortable
where it matters, and possessing serious performance provenance, it
pairs the raw tenacity of a LeMans-winning GT40 with the cool
confidence of modern, world-class engineering. Don't miss your
opportunity to own one of the most incredible classics on the
planet!
