Archie Cochrane Ford has been waiting patiently for this gorgeous car to arrive at the dealership. The car arrived by an enclosed truck with several other GT’s in transit to their destination. Ford has put a limit on the production of these fine automobiles.

The Ford GT engineering team certifies 205-mph top speed during high-speed stability and powertrain durability testing at Italy’s Nardo test track.The Ford GT is the fastest production road car ever built to wear the Ford badge
Just as the Ford GT40 was the first race car to break the 200-mph barrier at Le Mans, the Ford GT has become the first production road car wearing the Ford badge to achieve top speed in excess of 200 mph. In 1966, a GT40 reached a top speed of 201 mph on the Mulsanne Straight during the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, and now the Ford GT continues that legend by again breaking new ground.

Building on a Proud History
The original Ford GT was an engineering and design marvel that reached the pinnacle of international motorsports competition. Its success was the culmination of a four-year
effort to challenge such revered performance nameplates as Porsche and Ferrari in the most demanding endurance races in the world — including the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

1962 — The Beginning
In 1962, Henry Ford II set up a new company, Ford Advanced Vehicles (FAV), to lead Ford Motor Company’s motorsports development efforts. Based in Great Britain, FAV established a relationship with Lola to coordinate the chassis design, while Dearborn engineers worked on the drivetrain. In April 1964, the Ford GT was unveiled at the New York International Auto Show. The letters “GT” came from the Italian “Gran Turismo” or “Grand Touring.” The number 40
was added after the Mark II version of the car was introduced, and specifies its height in inches. CLICK TO CONTINUE
