Description

The Ford GT40 became an instant legend in racing history by dominating the 24 Hours of LeMans. First, by taking the top three podium spots in 1966, and winning again in 1967, 1968, and 1969. For Ford's centennial celebration in 2002, the company reincarnated that famous racing machine with the Ford GT. Even though the body closely resembles the classic machine, the new GT was fitted with some of the best technological advancements around. The new car was 17 inches longer and 4 inches taller than the original GT40, but the gorgeous exterior masked the size change. The engine used by the GT was a longitudinally mounted 5.4L DOHC V8 that pumped out 550 HP and 500 ft-lb of torque mated to a manual 6-speed transmission. The new GT boasted great performance as well. A 0-60 MPH time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 205 MPH. Around 4,000 GTs were released to the public during its 3-year production run, and theres no doubt that this revived classic will be just as collectible as the original.
