Always keen to celebrate its rich history, Ford unveiled the new Ford GT to a stunned crowd of international media at the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Developed in secret, Ford’s intention from the start was to return the Blue Oval to Le Mans in 2016, seeking a class win fifty years after Ford swept the podium at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans with the GT40. While the 2005 Ford GT was a retro-inspired homage to the original GT40, the new Ford GT was designed with motorsport at its core, utilizing cutting edge design and advanced materials throughout its construction.

At its heart, was Ford’s well proven 3.5-litre V-6 'Ecoboost' engine which was based on the power unit from the best-selling F-150 pickup truck. However, this was anything but a truck engine and the GT's engine was fitted with upgraded turbos, an aluminium intake manifold, unique camshafts, and a bespoke dry-sump lubrication system. Despite its relatively small displacement, power was rated at an impressive 647bhp and this was fed to the road through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The chassis was a radically designed carbon-fibre monocoque with lightweight aluminium front and rear subframes. Each body panel is made of carbon fibre with a distinctive aerodynamic channel running from the rear of the doors to the rear of the car and 'Active' aerodynamics and adjustable driving modes and ride height ensure that the car is always properly set up for road or circuit use.

The special example we have on offer here is one of the very few of these fabulous cars to be delivered to the UK. IT's been enjoyed by two owners from new and has covered just over 648 miles since it left the factory.

Specification highlights are as follows:

  • 3.5-litre V6 Twin-Turbo 647bhp
  • Colour – Ingot Silver with double alloy stripe
  • Lower – Exposed gloss carbon fibre upgrade
  • Interior – Dark Energy (Alcantara)
  • Alloys – Graphite (With Michelin Cup 2 Tyres)
  • Wheel nuts – Black
  • Brake Calipers - Silver

The GT comes complete with all the correct documents and items from the first owner:

  • · Specification carbon box with all the colour swatches etc.
  • · Concierge Presentation booklet
  • · Delivery presentation incl. build photos and specification document
  • · Original battery charger
  • · Indoor car cover (Blue)
  • · Handbook and service manual
  • · Original Ford Locking wheel nuts (Not fitted, currently in the storage compartment)

The car has a full PPF coverage which was added by the first owner. In July of this year, Multimatic  carried out a service and warranty work to ensure this particular example is bang up to date and a new Akrapovic Titanium exhaust was fitted at the same time

In summary, this is a rare opportunity to own one of very few UK-delivered Ford GTs, tastefully specified, in fabulous condition and absolutely ready for its next owner to enjoy the amazing thrills on offer. We welcome and encourage interested parties to book an appointment to come and see the car either at our storage facility before the sale or during the Silverstone Classic weekend itself.
