When Enzo Ferrari walked away from a takeover by Ford Motor Company in 1963, Henry Ford II answered by pointing the full weight of his enterprise at Le Mans, and by 1966, the GT40 had swept the podium and taken the first of four consecutive victories that ran through 1969. Fifty years later Ford returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe with the same intent. Campaigned in partnership with Chip Ganassi Racing and built by the Multimatic, the second-generation GT took a class win at the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing first, third, fourth, and ninth in the LM GTE Pro field and closing the circle on the golden anniversary of the marque's first triumph over Ferrari.

Just months after the racer's class win at Le Mans, customer deliveries of its road-going counterpart began in December 2016. This second-generation GT, following the supercharged V8 model of 2004–06, shared far more than a name with its competition counterpart. GTE homologation regulations required a road-legal car offered for sale before the competition version could take the grid, so Ford developed both in parallel to a single set of rules. The result, as Car and Driver described it, was a homologation road car "pretty close to being the 2016 Le Mans GTE-Pro class winner with a license plate."

Amidships, within the same teardrop carbon-fiber tub as the race car, sits a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 producing 647 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque, driving the rear wheels through a Getrag seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle. The engine drew from the same family as the F-150 Raptor's, reworked with larger turbochargers, a lower compression ratio, and a dry-sump oiling system for track use. Suspension followed Le Mans prototype practice, with long inboard control arms actuating pushrods that twist torsion-bar springs and Multimatic's spool-valve dampers, the whole arrangement tied to hydraulic actuators that drop the car two inches in Track mode. At the tail, a hydraulically deployed rear wing rises at speed and pitches into an airbrake under hard braking, part of an active aerodynamic package that helps carry the GT to a 216-mph top speed.

Buyers configured each GT to their own taste, and the car offered here, chassis number 200087, wears one of the boldest combinations Ford offered paired with over $61,000 in optional extras. It is finished in Triple Yellow Tri-Coat with Lightning Blue racing stripes over an exterior gloss carbon-fiber package, the latter a $19,588 option and the stripes a further $13,088. It rides on 20-inch gloss exposed carbon-fiber wheels, another $19,588 line on the digital window sticker, wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and secured by optional titanium lug nuts, with blue-painted brake calipers behind the spokes. The cabin is trimmed in Dark Energy (black) Alcantara with matte carbon accents, and features the F1-inspired steering wheel, fixed carbon-fiber Sparco seats, and Sync 3 infotainment system.

Delivered new to Twin Hills Ford Lincoln in Ontario, Canada-just a few kilometers from Multimatic's Markham Ford GT production facility-and built to the single North American specification shared with U.S.-delivered cars, the accompanying clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report records that the car was first registered on 14 September 2017. Passing to new ownership in 2020 with just 1,471 miles shown at the time, the GT has continued to see minimal, selected use, with just 3,281 miles recorded at the time of cataloging. In recent years, the car was prominently displayed alongside other important Ford GT models at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California.

With production of this highly collectible hypercar ending in 2023, this GT offers not only the opportunity to experience the road-going expression of Ford's Le Mans class winner, but one offered in a unique finish and showing minimal use.
