The Ford GT

All I Can Say That It's My Dream Car. Yes, The Ford GT.

The Ford GT is a mid-engine two-seater SUPERCAR manufactured and marketed by American automobile manufacturer Ford.

The Ford GT began life as a concept car designed in anticipation of the automaker's centennial year and as part of its drive to showcase and revive its "heritage" names such as Mustang and Thunderbird.

It All Started In 1964

Henry Ford II had wanted a Ford at Le Mans since the early 1960s. In early 1963, Ford reportedly received word through a European intermediary that Enzo Ferrari was interested in selling to Ford Motor Company.

The Mk.I was the original Ford GT40. Early prototypes were powered by 4.2 L (255 cu in) alloy V8 Engines and production models were powered by 289 cu(4.7L) engines as used in the Ford Mustang. Five prototype models were built with roadster bodywork, including the Ford X-1.

Second generation (2017–present)

The second generation GT at Ford was a very secretive operation–according to design director Chris Svensson "a handful of twelve people, including some key engineers, had access to the [design studio]". This secrecy was maintained inside Ford and to the press until its 2015 unveiling at the North American Auto Show.

The design of the new GT began with its aerodynamics package, which was closely related to the ultimate focus of the design team of creating a successful Le Mans race car.

Like its predecessor, the new Ford GT is only offered as a 2-door coupe with the mid-rear layout, for the purpose of improved stability by keeping the center of gravity near the middle. The new GT's weight distribution is 43% front and 57% rear. Unlike the first generation car, the new GT has butterfly doors that no longer include a piece integrated into the roof.
