2005–06 Ford GT Buyer’s Guide (Hagerty)
Is there a better way to celebrate 100 years in business than by re-creating one of the most ambitious, inspirational vehicles from your past? That’s what happened with Ford’s stunning 2002 GT40 concept car, which previewed the instantly-adored 2005–06 Ford GT production car. While the shape is a clear nod to the original Le Mans-winning GT40, and there’s even a hidden 100th anniversary Easter egg (look closely at the driver’s side headlight), the Ford GT had real performance chops underneath its retro references. No matter how you slice it — gruff V-8, purposeful interior, low-slung silhouette — there’s plenty to love when it comes to the first generation of Ford’s celebrated supercar.
