2004 to 2006 Ford GT
The early 2000’s supercar boost motivated many manufacturers to offer exotic cars, new models or bring back some old legendary names. Ford jumped on the bandwagon with a new retro style supercar they simply called the GT. It was an obvious successor to the fantastic Le Mans-winning GT40 from the late 60’s.
The 2004 GT was a perfect car in many ways. They introduced it during the height of the retro-futuristic car design, and it was extremely capable, powerful and fast. It was one of the best supercars on the scene and buyers loved it, even in Europe. In fact, in just two years of production, Ford managed to sell more than 4,000 examples, making it one of the most successful supercars in terms of popularity.
The heart of the Ford GT was the fabulous 5.4-liter supercharged V8 with 550 HP. The GT could go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds with top speeds of 205 mph. Although they didn’t design or build the Ford GT with racing in mind, the car was capable in the hands of several private racing teams.
