COTD - 10/01/24

A modern homage to the Le Mans-winning GT40, the 2005 Ford GT packs a supercharged 5.4L V8 pushing 550hp. With a 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph, it’s an American supercar icon.

Built to celebrate Ford’s 100th anniversary, the 2005 GT blends retro styling with cutting-edge performance. Its sleek design, inspired by the GT40, turned heads, while its mid-engine layout and race-proven aerodynamics made it a force on the road and track. It truly is any collector’s dream.

Despite its supercar credentials, the Ford GT was surprisingly approachable to drive, (from what the internet tells me), offering comfort and usability alongside its blistering performance. Limited to just 4,038 units, it’s a rare gem that continues to appreciate in value and admiration among enthusiasts

When new, the lucky recipients of the GT paid just shy of £121,000. Now? You’d be lucky to score one for less than £300,000!

Let me know your thoughts on the GT, I know I wanted one as a child.

Did you guess today’s car right? Gold star for you… sorry, can’t offer you much else!

Love,

Angus
