The ULTIMATE Ford GT Collection!

Показать описание

Each of these new Ford GT cars wear a special one-off livery inspired by the original Ford GT40 Prototypes GT/105, GT/06, and J1 respectively. Together, they make a very neat collection of what we like to call "modern" GT40s.

We have owned our 1964 Ford GT/105 prototype for a number of years now have enjoyed every moment with it. This is one 3 remaining GT40 prototypes, and the only one "out there" as the other two remaining reside in the Miller Museum. GT/105 was one of five prototypes that laid every inch of foundation for Ford’s Le Mans domination, and it is a significant piece of this amazing and victorious Anglo-American effort. GT/105 represents the first chapter in one of the most iconic and mythical stories in the history of the sport. We have gotten to race the car at historic Le Mans, we have brought it to Goodwood, and is one of our favourite cars to have had the opportunity of owning over the past 40 years.

With the original GT/105 as the inspiration, our matching serial number 2021 Ford GT was treated to a one-off paint scheme as designed by the team at Multimatic and Ford. The only example with this livery which features a Frozen White base, with a dark blue painted hood and over the roof stripe just like the original GT/105. As with all third generation Ford GT’s, power comes from a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine generating 647hp and 550 ft/lbs of torque, with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Ford Performance and Multimatic are leveraging expertise gained from winning Le Mans in 2016 to create the ultimate track-focused Ford GT variant. The Ford GT MK II enabled a select few individuals to own and experience on-track, a thrilling connection to Ford’s Le Mans-winning legacy. With liveries and select options defined in close consultation with individual clients, only 45 vehicles were created. The MKII mission is direct: to deliver the full performance potential of the Ford GT in a track-only version, engineered and built independently of the usual race-series rules, regulations, and homologation limitations associated with such cars. This particular 2022 Ford GT MKII was inspired by GT/106 which was the first prototype MKII and received the legendary 427ci engine and the recipe that won Le Mans. Chassis GT 106 was tested by Ken Miles at Ford’s five mile oval at Romeo, Michigan. After a promising demonstration (which saw Miles breach the 200mph mark), Ford decided to enter a brace of the seven-litre cars for Le Mans.

Finally, our Ford GT MKIV. This final track-only model has extreme performance, superior aerodynamics, and otherworldly handling that follows in the foot steps of its original 1967 Le Mans winning counterpart. Our MKIV, wears a one-off livery inspired by the J1 prototype. The MKIV is a full on track monster boasting over 800 HP in its top power setting and has trick active suspension, otherwise known as Adaptive Spool Valve (ASV) race suspension. This is the ultimate track weapon that's ready to set new lap times at tracks across the globe.

Together, all of these cars amalgamate to what is possibly one of the ULTIMATE Ford Collections ever.

Guys you have a complete Ford GT collection! From Mark I built by Carroll Shelby & Ken Miles in the mid-60's to Mark II & Mark IV of nowadays. In my opinion Ford GT is the most iconic American racing car that became a legal road later. Many thanks for another great video!

Now you’re just flexing.
How good does that make you feel that Ford and Multimatic work with you to create these amazing 1 or 1 specials. Almost unbelievable
For me it’s a tossup between the GT 40’s and the 427 Cobra’s as my all time favourites. I drove by your shop once, but I didn’t want to gut come and bug you to just look at your cars.

57 year left feeling like a teenager. Nice! Do an 05 or 6 in that livery. Then a Cobra and a Daytona.
