The Ford GT story follows a 50+ year timeline. The original Ford GT40s were built to break Ferraris seemingly unshakeable grip on the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. In 1966, they took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place at Le Mans, proving that Ford, an American manufacturer, could run with the European contenders and dominate them. The Ford GT name would lay dormant for almost 40 years, seeing its revival in 2004 with the new Ford GT road cars. These were developed to be street cars first, comfortable and easy to drive, with 550 horsepower to enjoy. Fast forward to 2015s Frankfurt Motor Show, and the all-new Ford GT is revealed. It is announced that the Ford GT is set to go racing in both IMSA and the World Sports Car series, spearheaded by the Chip Ganassi Racing team. Much like the fateful race at Le Mans 50 years ago with Fords triumph, Fords GT under Chip Ganassi Racing took to 1st in class at the 24 Hours of Lemans in 2016, cementing the modern cars place in racing history as its predecessor had done before it. This 2019 Ford GT was ordered through Galpin Ford, Van Nuys, and was optioned with the $70k lightweight Carbon Series package. The car is finished in Liquid Grey (a $5000 option) with a carbon and alcantara suede interior. Its 647 hp and 550lb/ft of torque comes from a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost V6 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle. The car is wrapped in paint protection film, ceramic coated, and fitted with a windshield protection film ($10,000 value). The GT features a carbon-fiber monocoque structure bolted to the front and rear aluminum subframes that serve as active stress members for the hydraulically adjustable pushrod suspension system. Variable ride height, selectable drive modes, and launch control are standard features. The Carbon Series package reduces total weight by approximately 40lbs and features exposed carbon-fiber stripes, carbon-fiber wheels, a titanium exhaust system, titanium lug nuts, and a polycarbonate engine cover with increased ventilation. The staggered-width 20 gloss carbon-fiber wheels are mounted with titanium lug nuts and 245/35 front and 325/30 rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Braking is handled by red-painted Brembo six-piston mono-block calipers over 15.5 carbon-ceramic discs up front, while four-piston calipers are mounted over 14.1 units out back. The interior is optioned with the Carbon package, and the Sparco carbon-fiber seats are trimmed in black Alcantara upholstery with contrasting silver stitching. Exposed carbon fiber is visible on the door sills, dashboard, center console, and seatbacks. The fixed-position drivers seat is paired with an adjustable pedal box and steering column, and amenities include air conditioning and an infotainment system with a touchscreen. The lightweight Alcantara-wrapped multi-function steering wheel flaunts paddle shifters and a digital instrument panel with multiple information settings. This one owner Ford GT has only 3215 miles and is now offered here at Canepa with the original window sticker, factory books, shipping documents, build photos, promotional materials, battery tender, and indoor and outdoor car covers. Consequent to its arrival here at Canepa, this Ford GT was treated to the Canepa Difference process where it was personally test driven by Bruce Canepa, mechanically inspected by our team, and then finished off by our Concourse Award Winning detail team. Bruce has had his fair share of experience behind the wheel of several Ford GTs and has his own personal example; however, this Carbon Series model is a cut above the rest.
