To celebrate its 100th anniversary, Ford Motor Company developed the Ford GT<\/a>, with the GT40 Concept\u00a0\u00a0unveiled at the 2002 North American International Auto Show. This concept paid homage to the iconic GT40 race car <\/a>that triumphed at Le Mans in the 1960s. Production of the Ford GT commenced by the end of 2004, tasked with being a worthy successor to the acclaimed GT40.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Ford GT’s design echoes the legacy of the 1960s GT40 race cars, featuring all-new dimensions and a contemporary interior. The supercar is powered by an all-aluminum, 5.4-liter V-8 engine with a Lysholm twin-screw supercharger, delivering an impressive 550 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. Achieving a 0-60 acceleration in just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph, the Ford GT competes with elite counterparts like the Porsche Carrera GT and the Mercedes-McLaren SLR.<\/p>\n

\"2006<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the 2006 final model year, Ford introduced a limited production Heritage edition with only 343 units were made. Finished in Heritage Blue with Epic Orange stripes, these cars paid tribute to the double-Le Mans-winning GT40 of 1968 and 1969, featuring Gulf Oil sponsorship. The Heritage edition allowed owners to personalize the four white roundels with a chosen number, adding a rare and distinctive touch to this remarkable vehicle.<\/p>\n
