2005 Ford GT Coupe

The Ford GT is an American mid-engine two-seater sports car manufactured by Ford Motor Company for model year 2005 and 2006 in conjunction with the company's 2003 centennial celebration. This example of a 2005 Ford GT is only 1 of 14 built in Red without the white stripe option. Other factory options include red painted Brembo calipers, McIntosch sound system, forged optional BBS wheels and Ricardo transaxle cooler package.

The production Ford GT engine is an all-aluminum 5.4-liter DOHC powerplant with a dry sump oiling system and a 2.3-liter Lysholm twin screw-type supercharger producing 550 horsepower. This GT is a production aluminum engine but with larger Whipple supercharger and larger Accufab throttle body producing 710 horsepower at the rear wheels coupled to a 6 speed Ricardo transaxle and a dual disc clutch.

The Ford GT is similar in the outward appearance to the original Ford GT40 cars, but bigger, wider and most importantly, 3 inches taller than the GT40. As a result, a potential name for the car was GT43. Although the cars are visually related, structurally, there is no similarity between the two.

Of the 4,500 GTs originally planned, approximately 100 were to be exported to Europe. An additional 200 were destined for sale in Canada. Production ended in 2006 without reaching the planned lot. Approximately 550 were built in 2004, and just over 1,600 in 2006 for a grand total of 4,038 worldwide.
