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. This striking 2018 Ford GT has had just one owner and is presented in the super stylish colour combination of Liquid Grey with Ingot Silver stripes and ‘Launch-control’ trim. Ordered new, and initially registered to Alan Mann Racing, this is an exciting opportunity to own a Ford GT with a name attached that is synonymous with Ford Motor Sport, GT40s and Le Mans.
Ordered in November 2017, the build was finished in May 2018 and the car was delivered new in July 2018. The full specification includes; Liquid Grey Tri-coat paint, Ingot Silver dual stripes, gloss carbon package, ‘Launch-control’ trim, English EU instruments, 20" Satin-Silver wheels and silver brake calipers with black decals. To date, this stunning example has covered just over 1,000 dry miles, been stored correctly, had its first service completed at 'GT101' and somewhat unusually for a car that's covered only 1,000 miles, is accompanied by its first MOT.
Accompanying this GT is the complete package from new including the build box – used to select your full specification, spare key, bespoke fitted car cover with ID number, battery conditioner, and images of the build in a presentation folder. Also forming part of the sale is a detailed history file with correspondence from Alan Mann Racing to the Ford GT Concierge team, Ford GT purchase agreement, the current V5c registered to Alan Mann Raging, EU Certificate of Conformity and the invoice from GT101 for the first service.
In summary, this is a rare opportunity to own one of very few UK-delivered Ford GTs, tastefully specified and in 'as-new' condition. *Note – This vehicle is VAT qualifying and accompanied by an EU COC as stated in the description.
