2006 FORD GT HERITAGE EDITION

The Ford GT was conceived and built as a road-going interpretation of the historic Ford GT40 race cars that proved Ford could triumph over its international competitors. The Heritage Edition Ford GTs were hand-built to commemorate the winning Gulf Oil liveried Ford Mk1 GT40 chassis #1075 which took consecutive wins at Le Mans. This example with 288 actual miles is one of just 343 cars built with the signature stripes and roundels that set it apart from the standard production run. Powering this modern tribute to Ford racing history is a supercharged 5.4-liter DOC V8 engine capable of 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph. With four camshafts and four valves per cylinder the aluminum block and head modular engine is factory rated 550hp at 6500 rpm and 500 ft/lbs of torque at 3750 rpm a considerable increase in power over the approximately 425hp engine powering the two-time winning GT40. The mid-mounted engine is backed up by a Ricardo 6-speed manual transmission purpose engineered for the Ford GT program. The sport-oriented interior is centered by a pair of ventilated bucket set for maximum control and comfort. The Ford GT commands the road on a set of factory-issue BBS one-piece aluminum alloy wheels with Ford GT logo knockoff-style center caps equipped with Goodyear Eagle F1 ultra-high-performance compound tires.
