The Ford GT is Ford’s mid-engine two-seat sports car that Ford describes as the “Pace Car For An Entire Company.” It is powered by a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 that produces 500 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, this design is inspired by the legendary Ford GT race cars of the 1960s that swept the top three positions at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966.
The 2006 Ford GT offers a limited-edition Tungsten Grey model to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the original Ford GTs placing first, second, and third at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. A limited-edition Heritage is also offered painted Heritage Blue with Epic Orange stripe to commemorate one of the racing Ford GTs from the past.
