Ford really did catch the world by surprise when it unveiled the GT at the North American International Auto Show in early 2015. In an era when seemingly every upcoming product is teased for months ahead of its eventual debut, the automaker managed to keep the new supercar under wraps until the moment of its reveal.
What emerged on stage in Detroit was unlike anything Ford had ever offered before. While it shared a name, and a basic rear/mid-engine layout, with the Ford GT built from 2005–2006, and while it too was a direct descendant of the all-conquering GT40 of the 1960s, any resemblance ended there. Styling was revolutionary rather than retro, with carbon fiber bodywork—including eye-catching “flying buttresses” behind the doors—designed to channel air to its engine and brakes while maximizing downforce.
Though its predecessors were fitted with V-8s, this new GT would boast a 647-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 (boosted to 660 horsepower for 2020) mated to a seven-speed Getrag dual-clutch transmission. From a standstill, the GT could sprint to 60 mph in just 3 seconds, leading to a top speed of 216 mph. An adaptive suspension could lower the ride height by a full two inches, while the self-adjusting rear spoiler raised itself to improve aerodynamics. Anchored by Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes with six-piston calipers and huge 15.5-inch rotors up front, the GT also employed hydraulic power steering, making for a supercar that by every account provided immediate feedback to the driver from every input.
Beyond its world-class performance brief, two further factors raised excitement surrounding the GT to a fever pitch. First, Ford planned to take its new machine racing, with the goal of winning their class at the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans—50 years after Ford’s fabled 1-2-3 sweep at the event with the GT40. Remarkably, Ford achieved its objective, with the Ford Chip Ganassi Team USA’s GT claiming 1st in the LMGTE Pro Class, just ahead of the Risi Competizione Ferrari 488 GTE.
Second, only 1,350 units of the second-generation GT were planned for production by Ford’s partner, Multimatic, making it substantially more exclusive than its immediate predecessor. Demand was so strong for the GT that Ford implemented a rigid application process for the privilege of buying one, handpicking loyal Ford enthusiasts and mandating that they keep their cars for an extended period. Applications quickly outnumbered available chassis allotments by nearly tenfold at the model’s official launch.
FORD GT L139
Delivered new via Sam Pack’s Five Star Ford of Carrollton, Texas, Ford GT serial number L139 has had just one caretaker from new. GT buyers were given wide latitude to custom-specify their new purchase, and L139 was no different: Liquid Grey Tri-Coat paint with Lightning Blue overtop stripes were selected for the exterior (at a combined cost of $17,500), as a subtle yet effective combination that pairs well with the Light Speed interior package.
Further options include 20-inch matte exposed carbon fiber wheels and the matte exterior carbon fiber package ($20,000 and $15,000, respectively), highlighting the lightweight composite material used throughout the GT’s construction, as well as Blue brake calipers. In total, these options brought the MSRP to an impressive $612,190. Like all 2020 GTs, L139 benefits from an increased output of 660 horsepower compared to prior cars, along with improved engine cooling, and it is fitted with a weight-saving Akrapovič titanium exhaust as a standard feature.
Scarcely driven since its delivery, this car displayed 660 miles at the time of cataloguing, and its appealing livery has been safeguarded by a full-body paint protection film. It is accompanied by its window sticker, Ford Performance design kit used in the creation of its appealing specification, owner’s manual, and car cover. Despite its limited use, it has been regularly serviced, including most recently an inspection, battery replacement, and oil and filter change carried out by its original retailing dealer in May 2024.
Production of the roadgoing GT concluded in 2022. It remains to this day the most extreme street-legal vehicle ever offered by the Ford Motor Company, and it is eagerly sought-after by both Ford Motor Company devotees and those that appreciate cutting-edge design and performance. Benefiting from single ownership, low mileage, and 2020 model year improvements, GT serial number L139 is a compelling example of Ford’s revolutionary supercar.
