The GT only comes in one model; it's a two-door, two-seat, tempered execution of the purpose-built race car that won the 24 Hour of Le Mans endurance classic in 1966 with Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon. The engine is a high-tech, supercharged, midship-mounted, 5.4-liter DOHC V-8 that produces an inspiring 500 horsepower and is connected to a Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle featuring a helical limited-slip differential. The engine also has a dry-sump oil system. The brakes are four-piston aluminum Brembo calipers with cross-drilled and vented rotors at all four corners. With great visual effect, when the rear canopy is opened, the rear suspension components and engine are evident and impressive.
The Ford GT features many distinctive technologies, including formed frame, aluminum body panels, roll-bonded floor panels, a friction stir welded center tunnel, a "ship-in-a-bottle" gas tank, a cap-less fuel filler system, one-piece door panels and an aluminum engine cover with a one-piece carbon-fiber inner panel. Standard safety equipment includes frontal airbags, antilock brakes and a tire inflation kit in lieu of a spare tire.
The Ford GT on offer is number 66 from a build of 2,011 similar models and was assembled on November 4, 2005; it is number 26 of 348 Ford GTs manufactured in Mark IV Red. The cockpit is finished in black leather with silver accents and entering in will transport you to a sporting-type environment with amenities included. Options on this GT include exterior painted stripes, finished brake calipers, McIntosh stereo and BBS wheels. The car also comes with its books.
