With Ferrari in its sights after a failed takeover bid, the Ford Motor Company, under Henry Ford II, assembled the world’s best drivers and car-builders in an effort to dominate global long-distance sports car racing in the mid-1960s. The resulting GT40 program would propel Ford to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966 in a stunning one-two-three finish. They would win the race again in 1967, 1968, and 1969—in total, an incredible four consecutive years.

Fast forward nearly 50 years from their first win at Le Mans to the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, where Ford once again stunned gathered media and enthusiasts across the world with the all-new Ford GT. The rakish supercar featured a carbon fiber monocoque chassis following the mid-engined formula with a 647-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve EcoBoost V-6 engine, paired this time with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission supplied by Getrag. Early performance figures pegged the car as capable of achieving 60 mph in 3.0 seconds and a top speed of 216 mph. Street car production began in December 2016, but fittingly, the Ford GT made its debut well before that on the track with its highly anticipated return to Le Mans in June of that year; there, Ford achieved an extraordinary LMGTE Pro class victory while taking three out of the top four places in class on the 50th anniversary of their 1966 one-two-three finish.

This 2019 Ford GT left the factory uniquely finished in stunning Ingot Silver with Comp Orange stripes and was delivered new to Kunes Country Ford of Delavan, Wisconsin.
