Description
The GT was styled after Ford’s GT40 racing cars of the 1960s and utilizes aluminum bodywork over an extruded-aluminum space frame. 343 Heritage Edition examples with a Gulf-inspired blue and orange livery were produced for the 2006 model year, and this car’s door and hood roundels bear the number 5. The Carfax report indicates that an accident/damage report was filed in 2011, although no further information is provided. The paintwork and exterior trim are shown up close in…
The GT was styled after Ford’s GT40 racing cars of the 1960s and utilizes aluminum bodywork over an extruded-aluminum space frame. 343 Heritage Edition examples with a Gulf-inspired blue and orange livery were produced for the 2006 model year, and this car’s door and hood roundels bear the number 5. The Carfax report indicates that an accident/damage report was filed in 2011, although no further information is provided. The paintwork and exterior trim are shown up close in the photo gallery below.
Forged 18″ front and 19″ rear wheels were produced by BBS for Ford and are mounted with 235/45 front and 315/40 rear Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires. Gray four-piston brake calipers are paired with cross-drilled rotors front and rear, and the system was flushed in 2017. The right-rear tie rod was replaced and a spacer was machined at that time.
The cockpit features Sparco-designed bucket seats with carbon-fiber shells, black leather upholstery, and GT40-inspired ventilation grommets. A center console extends between the seats, while mats cover the bare aluminum floors. Amenities include air conditioning as well as a McIntosh CD player.
Instrumentation includes a 220-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges to monitor boost pressure, engine temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer shows 11k miles, approximately 600 of which were added since 2016.
The supercharged 5.4-liter V8 is mounted behind the driver and utilizes dry-sump lubrication. Output was rated at 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, which is delivered to the rear wheels through a Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. In 2017 the intercooler system was serviced by Guyett Performance of Fresno, California, and additional work at that time included flushing the coolant, changing the fluids, and fabricating a battery-tender harness.
Additional photos of the undertray and suspension are presented in the gallery.
