2004 Ford GT
Description
Key Points: Brembo Brakes with Red Calipers, Centennial White Exterior Paint with Racing Stripe and Side Tape Stripes in Blue, McIntosh Audiophile System with Single CD Player.
The Ford GT is a mid-engined two-seat sports car inspired by the GT40, which was a consecutive four-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 1966 and 1969, including a 1-2-3 finish in 1966. It won evo magazine’s ‘car of the year’ award in 2005, and was more recently described as ‘one of our top 25 cars of the last 25 years’.
It is powered by a dry-sump 5.4-litre all-aluminium alloy Modular V8 with an Eaton 2300 Lysholm screw-type supercharger, producing 550hp and 500lb-ft of torque, paired with a Ricardo six-speed manual transmission and a helical limited-slip differential. The result is a 0-62mph sprint time of 3.8 seconds, and a top speed of 205mph.
Technologically advanced at the time of its release, it features a superplastic-formed frame, aluminium body panels, and an aluminium engine cover with a one-piece carbon fibre inner panel. Stopping power comes from cross-drilled and vented rotors, with four-piston aluminium Brembo callipers.
Finished in the timeless shade of Centennial White with a blue racing stripe, this example features the optional McIntosh sound system, as well as aftermarket KW coilover suspension.
