2022 Ford GT MKII For Sale - Special One-Off Livery To Commemorate
The First Prototype MKII GT40 LMC is very proud to offer for sale
this 2022 Ford GT MKII Ford Performance and Multimatic are
leveraging expertise gained from winning Le Mans to create the
ultimate track-focused Ford GT variant. The Ford GT MK II enabled a
select few individuals to own and experience on-track, a thrilling
connection to Ford's Le Mans-winning legacy. With liveries and
select options defined in close consultation with individual
clients, only 45 vehicles were created. The MKII mission is direct:
to deliver the full performance potential of the Ford GT in a
track-only version, engineered and built independently of the usual
race-series rules, regulations, and homologation limitations
associated with such cars. This particular 2022 Ford GT MKII was
inspired by GT/106 which was the first prototype MKII and received
the legendary 427ci engine and the recipe that won Le Mans. Chassis
GT 106 was tested by Ken Miles at Ford's five mile oval at Romeo,
Michigan. After a promising demonstration (which saw Miles breach
the 200mph mark), Ford decided to enter a brace of the seven-litre
cars for Le Mans. GT 106 was originally allocated to Bruce McLaren
and Ken Miles managed by Shelby American who had made a
breakthrough with the GT40 in late February when they won the
Daytona 2000km World Sportscar Championship race. During the
week-long build up to Le Mans, the Mk2 Prototypes stood out as the
fastest cars ever seen at the circuit. The car could reach 210 mph
down the Mulsanne straight and qualified almost ten seconds faster
than any Ferrari. During the opening hours of the race, prototype
GT40s were in the lead. Unfortunately transmission problems arose,
retiring both cars. Afterwards, it was clear that the 427 GT40
would be the car to race and a more robust transmission was
necessary to make the distance. This MKII offered here was painted
in the same livery as GT/106 with a Frozen White base with blue
stripes and white meatballs with the #1 displayed. Offered with
only 160 miles on the odometer in showroom new condition, this
stunning 2022 Ford GT MkII features the unbridled twin-turbocharged
3.5L/700 HP EcoBoost engine delivering the GT's true potential, not
limited to racing sanctioning bodies. The GT MKII features a
purposeful black interior with Sparco driver and optional passenger
seats with six-point harnesses, a cooling system for driver and
passenger, an in-car communication system and a MoTeC data
acquisition unit with a rear display camera, within an
FIA-compliant roll cage structure. Included in the sale is a
document binder, air jack safety stands, battery charger, camber
shim kit, MkII car cover, and an additional set of aluminum alloy
wheels are included. With production limited to just 45 examples
the Ford GT MKII is already one of the most exclusive automobiles
in the world and this one is presented in a one-off livery to
commemorate one of the greatest original GT40s of all time!
