About this generation

The first-generation Ford GT supercar revived the heritage of the legendary 1960s GT40 Le Mans winner.

Developed to celebrate Ford's centennial, the first-generation Ford GT supercar was produced for 2005 and 2006. Its design faithfully recreated the iconic shape of the historic GT40 racer. Engineered around an aluminum spaceframe with mid-engine architecture, it stands as a landmark american supercar.

Offered with versatile feature packages, this iteration successfully balanced day-to-day usability with solid resale value.
