Vehicle Description
The 2006 Ford GT was a collector car from day one because it gave
the car world the iconic GT40 lines wrapped around a supercharged
V8 that could back up its race car appearance. So when you can find
one in an exceptionally rare color, that's barely averaged 520
miles annually, then you know it's the right cut-above classic.
Owning a Ford GT already makes you a standout, but when you want to
be noticed even when you showcase this one with other exotics,
there's no better way than Speed Yellow. Not only is it an
attention-grabber, but also GT people know this is a rare hue
(likely less than 171 ever received the color, only 75 in 2006.)
And optional black striping is the exact way to complete a speedy
package like this. We all know why we love these Ford GTs. It was
Ford finally building one for enthusiasts who wanted to capture
that same magic that Ford used to capture LeMans. But building
these was a tall order. Engineers and designers had to work
together to make sure that iconic silhouette was retained, while
every duct fed cold air to competition components, and the body
knew how to cheat the wind. This kind of detail means the GT is a
hand-assembled supercar worthy of its Ferrari-beating heritage. And
this example still lives up to that today, thanks to less than
5,800 miles on the odometer.
Low mileage also means little seat time, and so the interior is
just as fresh as the day Ford unleashed this on the world. The GT40
spirit is apparent everywhere inside, too. It starts with those
unique doors that help form the roofline - sure it makes it easier
to get in and out, but we really know you just love them for how
cool they look! Slide into the perforated leather buckets, and it
almost feels like a fighter jet as the dash surrounds you. The
large tachometer remains the prominently in front, to remind you
that this GT comes from a true competition past. Plus, the
three-spoke steering wheel, brushed aluminum trim, and retro toggle
switches complete the GT40 feeling. But the real trick of the Ford
GT is how much modern comfort is provides in this retro cool
package. You have ice-cold air conditioning, power windows, power
locks, dual airbags, and keyless entry/ignition. There's even the
optional AM/FM/CD premium audio system, but we really know you're
favorite soundtrack is really produced by the beast that just over
your shoulders.
Take a look behind you and you'll see an incredible view of what
makes this Ford a true supercar. Peeking in the rear window is a
supercharged 5.4-liter V8 that is capable of 550 horsepower and 500
lb/ft of torque. That's enough power to propel this slippery body
to 60 mph in about 3.5 seconds, and to an electronically limited
top speed of 205 mph. On a car that has been babied all its low
mileage life, it should be no surprise that this is the original
powerplant, and it has been expertly maintained to perform as good
as it looks. That powerful V8 is mated to a manual six-speed
Ricardo transmission fitted with a limited-slip differential. As
you glance inside that exotic engine bay, you'll noticed the coil
over shocks mounted to the formed aluminum frame keeps the
235/45/18 front and 315/40/19 rear Goodyear Eagle F1 tires planted
to the track or the road. Large Brembo disc brakes with optional
painted four-piston calipers, behind the factory BBS wheels keep
things in check, while power steering tosses the nimble chassis
around each corner with precise handling.
The Ford GT was built to be a worthy vehicle of the GT40 lineage.
But when a low-production performance machine like this, with the
options it has, and has also been expertly preserved to be a low
mileage time capsule, you can also see the investment value in this
rare example. Call now!!
