Dateline 2003: Detroit, Michigan USA: Out in front of the Glass House at the 100th anniversary of Ford Motor Company, the successor to the victorious and multiple Le Mans winning Ford GT40 was unveiled. The GT?s design paid homage to the iconic car whose period silhouette, mimicked virtually every contour, line and detail of the original GT40 MKV racecar. Modern technology is incorporated in the underpinnings beneath the retro bodywork and the state of the art suspension with an All- American 550 hp 5.4-litre V8, able to attain supersonic speeds. In keeping with the GT?s legacy of besting Ferrari, America?s new supercar is just that. With an attainable top speed of over 200 mph and incredible stopping power, it really was a Ford that could run against Europe?s best.

Finished in the iconic color of Mark IV Red and charcoal grey, it is specked with all four available factory options: dual racing stripes (white), forged aluminum GT wheels, painted (red) brake calipers, and the McIntosh stereo. It currently has 1600 documented miles, reflecting its limited use and careful enjoyment, as does its immaculate, showroom new condition and presentation throughout. The original manuals accompany the car. Every sports car collection demands a Supercar, and this one would be an ideal choice. An excellent Ford GT to either continue to preserve, or to drive and enjoy, it would be a superb addition to any modern performance oriented collection.
