The first generation Ford GT was initially created as an homage to those very famous racers of the 1960s. Although visually similar, the designers started with a blank sheet. They were out to create the ultimate Ford supercar—one capable of producing a blistering 550 brake horsepower and top speeds of 330 km/h. Equipped with a mid-mounted 5.4-litre modular V-8 engine topped with twin super chargers, the driver is reminded of the raw power they wield with every glance in the rear-view mirror. Completed with a Ricardo six-speed manual transmission featuring a helical limited-slip differential, the Ford GT is as close as you can get to driving a race car while on the road. Presented here is chassis 400165, offered in Midnight Blue over black, complete with optional white racing stripes, McIntosh radio, and fitted with black brake callipers. It has been driven only 4,607 miles since new.
La prima generazione di Ford GT è stata inizialmente creata come omaggio alle famose vetture da corsa degli anni ‘60. Anche se le vetture sono simili nell’aspetto, per realizzarla i progettisti sono partiti da un foglio bianco. Il loro obiettivo era quello di creare la migliore supercar mai prodotta da Ford, in grado di arrivare ad una potenza di 550 Cv e di raggiungere i 330 km/h. Dotata di motore posteriore centrale modulare V-8 da 5,4 litri, arricchito dalla presenza di due compressori a ricordare al pilota, ad ogni sguardo negli specchietti retrovisori, la potenza brutale che sviluppano. Completa di un cambio manuale Ricardo a sei marce e di un differenziale autobloccante a lamelle, la Ford GT è quanto di più vicino ad un’automobile da corsa si possa arrivare a guidare su strada aperta. La vettura presentata all’asta, telaio 400165, è verniciata in Midnight Blu, completo delle opzionali “racing stripe”, su interni neri, è equipaggiata con la radio McIntosh ed è dotata delle pinze dei freni nere. Ha percorso, da nuova, solo 4.607 miglia.
