Production of the Ford GT supercar has ended. The last car was built late Thursday at the Wixom Assembly Plant, for a total run of 4,038 units. Ford announced it would be discontinuing the GT as part of its "Way Forward" plan earlier this year. The GT was first shown in concept form in 2002, and a production version was readied within 15 months. Power comes from a 550 horsepower V8, with a top speed in excess of 200 mph. Zero to 60 mph is accomplished in 3.3 seconds. The MSRP for the car was $150,000, thought buyers typically paid as much as $175,000.

 

Good, Ford shouldn't sell such a great car through such ****ty dealers. It was doomed to fail.

 

too bad, i haven't seen this on the street yte. saw porsche gt and others, have yet to hear this in person

 

Actually, with my own RX300 in mind when I redid the exhaust...I was thinking of the GT sound, but I could not quite get rid of all the raspy sounds at some RPMs.

It has one of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard out of any vehicle.

The sound clips and video games that have this vehicle in them don't quite do the sound justice.

This one of a 1/4 mile run, near the end of the run has a really good sound to it.

RIP Ford GT...

 

In 20 years these will go for millions.

 

I've seen two on the streets so far. I must say it looks better in person than in pictures. It's LOW and WIDE. Beautiful car

 

I saw only a couple on the road, and one at a Ford dealership.

They looked really nice, but I wasn't a fan of the stripes. The Ford website said you could get one without the stripe "package" though.

 

Great car, but somehow the look never exites me that much, it just doesn't look high-end & exotic enough to me . . .

 

This is one of my MOST WANTED cars on EARTH!

I WILL have one one day.....

 

if this thing even lasts 20 years that is, it had MANY problems

 

Agreed.
I don't see cars made today going for a lot in a few years (20 maybe) because of all the eletronics and what not.

A muscle car from the 60's can do that because it's simple. It's a seat, a steering wheel, a body, some wheels, and god's own engine. But a McIntosh sound system, a supercharger and engine built with such precision tolerences...

Hey I might be wrong, the engine block from the GT is the same as the F150 right?

 

Here's an ode to the GT. Can you say 1000HP?

 

I've only seem them at shows never on the road. I liked that car. Oh well......

 

That's because it was never intended to be modern looking, it was built as an updated tribute to the original GT40 that won Lemans in the 60's.
