What's New for the 2005 Ford GT?
In the mid-1960s, the original Ford GT40 was created to battle for supremacy on the Le Mans race circuit and to assuage the ballooning ego of Henry Ford II. In 1966, it placed 1-2-3 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and won the grueling endurance race the next three consecutive years. Today, the 2005 Ford GT is a modern interpretation of that legendary racing car, with styling faithful to the original but thoroughly modern underpinnings and a habitable interior.
Advantages of the 2005 Ford GT:
- An American supercar worthy of its heritage
- Costs less than other exotic high-performance sports cars
Objections to the 2005 Ford GT: - Nobody thinks "Ford" when considering high-dollar sports cars
Editor's Advice:
Like the 1966 racer, the 2005 Ford GT is a low-slung, two-seat, mid-engine V8 supercar designed to beat the best from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Unlike the original, the new GT serves as Ford's halo car, its engineering and performance tour de force. Buyers willing to plunk down $139,995 for the 2005 Ford GT will be well armed to hunt down and embarrass Ferrari and Lamborghini owners worldwide.
