Although rumours were rife, no one really knew what Ford would unveil at the Detroit Auto Show in early 2015. The development of the second Ford GT, around a decade after the first reinterpretation of the legendary GT40, was one of the best-kept secrets at Ford in Dearborn. Under the leadership of design chief Chris Svensson, a tiny team of just twelve insiders worked in a shielded studio – so strictly confidential that even many Ford employees only found out about it at the presentation.
The focus of development was not on the road car, but on the goal of creating a Le Mans-winning car. It all started with aerodynamics: minimum drag, maximum efficiency. This led to the teardrop-shaped silhouette otherwise only seen on LMP1 class prototypes. The powertrain was secondary to this shape – V8 and V12 engines were considered, but the choice ultimately fell on the compact 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6. It gave the designers the freedom they needed to achieve perfect flow and balance.
Visually, however, the GT remained clearly recognisable: the flat front end, round rear lights, raised twin exhaust pipes – a modern homage to the GT40. Comfort and everyday practicality were deliberately sacrificed. The interior is spartan, the seating position fixed – all in the service of speed. The 2017 GT is not a luxury car, but an uncompromising road-legal race car – born in secrecy, built to win.
Like the racing car of old, the new Ford GT was designed with a mid-engine layout. 43% of its 1,598 kilograms were on the front axle, 57% on the rear. Unlike its predecessor, it had scissor doors. The EcoBoost V6, powered by two turbochargers, delivered 656 hp and 746 Newton metres of torque; power was transmitted via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission from Getrag. The GT sprints to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and to 200 km/h in under ten. It only stops at a ludicrous 347 km/h.
Production began in December 2016. Initially, 150 vehicles were planned for each of 2017 and 2018. Due to high demand, the number of units was increased several times; a total of 1,350 were produced before production ended in 2023.
Ford's four consecutive victories at the Circuit de la Sarthe with the GT40 provided ample reason to celebrate its former dominance with special models – the so-called Heritage Series. The first was the '66 Heritage Edition, followed by the '67 Heritage Edition in the design of the GT40 Mk IV by Dan Gurney and A. J. Foyt. This was followed by the '68/'69 Edition in Gulf design, a second '66 Edition in the style of the Daytona winner in 2021, the '64 Edition and an Alan Mann Edition in red and gold paintwork. In addition, two uncompromising racing versions without road approval were created with the GT Mk II and Mk IV – with 710 and over 800 hp respectively.
The '67 Heritage Edition, commemorating the only "All-American Win" – an American car with two American drivers – is still held in high esteem today.
On 12 June 2015, Ford announced its return during the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Chip Ganassi Racing entered the new GT in both the IMSA series and the WEC. Ford's comeback was a triumphant one: the GTs won at Le Mans, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, Canada, Fuji and Shanghai in 2016. In 2017, they won at Daytona, Silverstone, Elkhart Lake and Shanghai again; in 2018, victories followed at Daytona, Spa, Watkins Glen, Canada, Lime Rock and Elkhart Lake once more. After three more successes in the IMSA in 2019, Ford ended its motorsport programme – it had won practically everything there was to win.
This Ford GT from the '67 Heritage Edition was delivered as a new car to the entrant in Germany. It also had to go through the rigorous application process, during which Ford carefully checked how many vehicles the customer already owned, how intensively they would use the GT and how active they were on social media. Around 6,500 applications were received from 21 countries for the first 500 vehicles. Resale was contractually prohibited for two years – anyone who violated this was sued.
This Ford GT is from the 2018 '67 Heritage Edition and came to our supplier as a new car. The breathtakingly beautiful sports car has only covered 119 kilometres so far. You approach it with a mixture of fascination and awe – and when you start the engine, it gives you goosebumps.
