Description
This 2006 Ford GT is one of 343 Heritage Edition examples produced and is finished in Heritage Blue and Epic Orange over Ebony leather and is equipped with optional forged-aluminum BBS wheels and red-finished brake calipers. Power comes from a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 linked with a six-speed manual gearbox and a helical limited-slip differential, and additional equipment includes Brembo brakes, HID headlights, a front splitter, a rear diffuser, and air conditioning.
The GT took inspiration from the GT40 racing cars of the 1960s and features an extruded-aluminum space frame, roll-bonded floors, and aluminum body panels. The Heritage Edition included a Gulf-inspired blue and orange livery similar to that worn by the 1968 and 1969 Le Mans-winning GT40. Additional equipment includes Ford GT graphics, HID headlights, fog lights, side air intakes, a vented hood, a front splitter, a rear diffuser, and a dual center-exit exhaust system.
Factory-optional BBS forged lightweight aluminum wheels measure 18” up front and 19” out back and are mounted with 235/45 front and 315/40 rear Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires. The Brembo braking system features optional red-painted four-piston monoblock calipers with cross-drilled and ventilated rotors that measure 14” up front and 13.2” out back.
The cockpit is trimmed in Ebony leather, and rubber mats cover bare aluminum floors. Manually adjusted seats were designed by Sparco and feature carbon-fiber shells with GT40-style ventilation grommets and harness slots. The console on the center tunnel houses rotary climate controls, and amenities include air conditioning, remote keyless entry, push-button ignition, and a CD stereo.
