Introduction to the Ford GT and its Comeback
The Ford GT is an iconic American supercar that was first developed in the 1960s. The original version, known as the Ford GT40, achieved legendary status with its victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it secured four consecutive wins from 1966 to 1969. These successes cemented its place in motorsport history. From 2005 to 2006, Ford introduced a revival that paid homage to the design and performance of its predecessor. This latest version serves as the inspiration for the 1/18 scale model car showcased here, manufactured by AUTOart and created using diecast materials. This model car is a must-have for motorsport enthusiasts and collectors of meticulously detailed replicas of historical vehicles.
Technical Specifications and Design of the Ford GT
The original Ford GT from 2005 to 2006 impresses with its technical specifications and unique design. Under the hood lies a 5.4-liter V8 supercharged engine producing 550 horsepower (410 kW) and 678 Nm of torque. With a top speed of over 205 mph and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under four seconds, the GT is a true supercar. Chief designer Camarillo Moreno placed a special emphasis on using lightweight materials and aerodynamic enhancements to make the vehicle not only faster but also more efficient. The design of the car bears a strong resemblance to its predecessor, the GT40, including the iconic dual stripes running across the body.
