2022 Ford GT MkII

Ford Performance and Multimatic are leveraging expertise gained from winning Le Mans to create the ultimate track-focused Ford GT variant. The Ford GT MkII enabled a select few individuals to own and experience on-track a thrilling connection to Ford’s Le Mans-winning legacy. With liveries and select options defined in close consultation with individual clients, only 45 vehicles were created. The MkII mission is direct: to deliver the full performance potential of the Ford GT in a track-only version, engineered and built independently of the usual race-series rules, regulations and homologation limitations associated with such cars.

This particular 2022 Ford GT MKII was inspired by GT/106, which was the first prototype MkII and received the legendary 427 CI engine and the recipe that won Le Mans. Chassis GT/106 was tested by Ken Miles at Ford’s 5-mile oval at Romeo, Michigan. After a promising demonstration (which saw Miles breach the 200 MPH mark), Ford decided to enter a brace of the 7.0L cars at Le Mans.

GT/106 was originally allocated to Bruce McLaren and Ken Miles and managed by Shelby American, which had made a breakthrough with the GT40 in late February when it won the Daytona 2000-kilometer World Sportscar Championship race. During the week-long build-up to Le Mans, the MkII prototypes stood out as the fastest cars ever seen at the circuit. The car could reach 210 MPH down the Mulsanne Straight and qualified almost 10 seconds faster than any Ferrari. During the opening hours of the race, prototype GT40s were in the lead. Unfortunately, transmission problems arose, retiring both cars. Afterwards, it was clear that the 427 GT40 would be the car to race and that a more robust transmission was necessary to make the distance.

This 2022 Ford GT MkII was painted in the same livery as GT/106 with a Frozen White base with blue stripes and white meatballs with the No. 1 displayed. Offered with only 160 miles on the odometer and in showroom-new condition, this stunning 2022 Ford GT MkII features the unbridled twin-turbocharged 3.5L/700 HP EcoBoost engine delivering the GT’s true potential, not limited to racing sanctioning bodies. The GT MkII features a purposeful black interior with Sparco driver and optional passenger seats with six-point harnesses, a cooling system for driver and passenger, an in-car communication system and a MoTeC data acquisition unit with a rear display camera, all within an FIA-compliant roll cage structure. With over $87,000 in options, the final MSRP of this special GT was $1,287,575. Accompanying the GT is a document binder, air jack safety stands, a battery charger, a camber shim kit, a MkII car cover and an additional set of aluminum alloy wheels.

With production limited to just 45 examples, the Ford GT MKII is already one of the most exclusive automobiles in the world, and this one is presented in a one-off livery to commemorate one of the greatest original GT40s of all time.
