Ford GT Story. Four decades ago, Ford produced a race car called the GT40 that ran away with the world-renowned 24 Hours of LeMans in 1966. GT40s won LeMans again the next three years. If you can't beat 'em, ban 'em. And that happened. Now, for 2005, a lookalike-but-performs-better Ford supercar has come to the market as the Ford GT. It might just be the best supercar in the world, especially at its price. Price: US$139,995. Warranty: 3 years/36,000 miles. First Glance It wasn't easy, duplicating the look of a low-slung endurance racer from the mid-Sixties. The GT40s that won LeMans four years running were essentially custom-built cars (although a few were sold for street use). Those 60s' GT40s were small, very powerful and prone to want to take off at speeds above 200 mph. Ford fixed all that for 2005 with the new Ford GT. It's bigger, very powerful and no longer wants to become airborne as it approaches its top speed of 205 miles per hour. Now, back when Henry Ford II wanted more than anything to kick some Ferrari butt after Enzo Ferrari wouldn't sell Henry the Italian automaker, the car created to do that was 40 inches tall and spartan on the inside, as befits a lean racer. But it looked stunning. There have been very few race cars that looked this good: some Porsche models, some Ferraris and the GT40. The rest would look silly driving around town. Not this one. It is docile as a Focus when it needs to be, can plaster you against the seats whenever you desire, and handles and stops as well as anything offered at any price. It's worth driving just to see the expression on that pickup truck driver's face as you roar by under full acceleration. No question that a Ford GT will always turn. |
