Car Spotting: 2019 Ford GT

One of 50

Show of hands. How many of you have seen the movie Ford vs. Ferarri? That’s part of the reason behind the creation of this special edition 2019 Ford GT. As if they’re not special enough, right? This one was built to commemorate the 1968 LeMans race where a Ford GT in Gulf colors won the race. This one I spotted while on vacation in Florida. The owner also owns the previous model Ford GT. Lucky guy.

When he was chosen by Ford to be able to purchase it, yup, you need to apply before you can even buy it, it set him back around $600,000. Now they go for around 1.3 Mil. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Ford makes the owner sign an agreement that they will not sell it for two years after purchase.

This Heritage Edition features the 647 HP twin-turbo V6, 7-speed dual-clutch transaxle, top speed of 216 and will go 0-60 in about three seconds. Imagine that. Going fast and looking cool all at the same time. I’m down with that.

Check back each Friday as I feature a cool car I spotted out and about.
