2006 | Ford GT
Technical Information
Overview
Offered here is a 2006 Ford GT finished in Mark II Black Clearcoat with Ebony leather upholstery—one of just 327 examples produced in this color for the model year. Assembled at the Wixom Assembly Plant, this example features all four of the desirable factory options: the McIntosh Audiophile System, BBS lightweight forged aluminum wheels, red-painted brake calipers, and painted racing stripes. At its heart is Ford’s supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V8 engine producing 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, paired to a 6-speed manual Ricardo transaxle. With its aluminum space frame, double-wishbone suspension, and race-derived aerodynamics, the Ford GT was engineered as a modern homage to the GT40 that conquered Le Mans in the 1960s.
This example was originally delivered to Tri-Ford Inc. of Highland, Illinois, and carries an original MSRP of $166,945, as reflected on the included window sticker. Standard features include HID headlamps, Brembo four-piston aluminum brake calipers, a stainless steel dual exhaust, and leather-trimmed sport seats. Unlike many contemporary supercars, the GT delivers a raw, analog experience—thanks in part to its hydraulic steering and aluminum shift knob—which has earned it lasting reverence among collectors and driving enthusiasts alike. The car’s specification ensures it is among the most desirable configurations of the 4,038-unit production run.
Whether destined for a concours lawn, private museum, or spirited backroad drive, this four-option 2006 Ford GT presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly original example of Ford’s legendary supercar. Included with the sale is the original window sticker confirming all factory-installed options, factory accessories, original purchase documentation and delivery details. As Ford’s most celebrated modern performance car and a fitting tribute to its endurance racing legacy, the GT continues to enjoy strong appreciation in the collector market. It is a modern classic that continues to captivate with its timeless design, exceptional engineering, and visceral performance.
