Developed in secret to win Le Mans, the second-generation Ford GT stunned the automotive world at its 2015 debut. Its mission was to win the GTE-Pro class at the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, 50 years after Ford's famous 1-2-3 victory in 1966. It did exactly that, cementing the new GT's place in motorsport history before customer cars were even delivered. Power comes not from a V8, but from a 3.5L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 producing up to 660 hp, wrapped in radical, active-aero bodywork.
The GT's instant collectibility stems from its direct racing pedigree, extremely limited production, and the exclusive application process Ford used to select its first owners. With an initial run of just 1,000 cars, later expanded to 1,350, scarcity was guaranteed. Special models like the various Heritage Editions and the lightweight Carbon Series are even more desirable for their unique liveries and specifications that honor Ford's racing past.
Ford's initial 2-year resale restriction for original owners created massive pent-up demand. Once cars started trading freely, values quickly doubled or tripled the original MSRP of around $500,000. Today, the market remains very strong, with average sale prices hovering just above $1 million. It's a certified blue-chip modern supercar, and low-mileage examples or sought-after special editions frequently sell for significant premiums.
Buying Tips
- Verify the specification. Heritage Editions, Carbon Series, and Competition Series models command large premiums, so confirm the car's authenticity.
- Check for expensive options. Exposed carbon fiber bodywork, carbon fiber wheels, and the Akrapovič titanium exhaust were costly extras that add significant value.
- Inspect the paint and protection. The GT's complex bodywork is difficult to paint and repair. Look for high-quality paint protection film (PPF), as its absence can lead to many rock chips.
- Review service history. Maintenance can only be performed by a small number of certified dealers. Ensure all services, especially for the hydraulic suspension and active aero, are documented.
Based on recent sales, prices range from $659,553 to $1,870,000 depending on year, mileage, and specification.
