In 2022, Ford produced the last road-going version of the historic GT. The special edition supercar, with its Wimbledon White paintwork and antimatter blue exterior details, pays homage to the iconic GT40 racing car that dominated Le Mans in the 1960s. The cabin is sterile to keep weight down, but features a 6.5-inch touchscreen, is voice-activated and includes navigation. A 10.1-inch digital gauge cluster displays information ranging from oil temperature to gear selection. The GT has 43 inches of legroom for two occupants, headroom is limited, and like most supercars, it’s difficult to get in and out of.
Ford equipped the GT with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 that produces 660 horsepower at 6250 rpm and 550 lb-ft of torque at 5900 rpm and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to rear wheels The GT, without the aid of any hybrid technology, accelerates to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds, reaches the quarter mile in 10.8 seconds at 134 mph, and reaches a top speed of 216 mph.
The Ford GT’s race car performance is aided by a sculpted body that adds considerable downforce at high speeds (between 1,800 and 1,900 pounds at 150 mph). Road-gripping competition tires provide enough traction to make use of downforce, and 15.5-inch carbon-ceramic brakes bring the supercar to a halt when needed. Despite its racetrack capabilities, the suspension can be tuned for a comfortable ride on normal roads. In 2022, the Ford GT was sold at a starting price of $500,000.
