After all, the original Ford GT wasn&rsquo;t made to compete against luxury sports cars in the first place, it was made to win the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2016-ford-gt-1024x636.png\" alt=\"2016 ford gt on display\" class=\"wp-image-79164\" width=\"1024\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2016-ford-gt-1024x636.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2016-ford-gt-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2016-ford-gt-768x477.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2016-ford-gt-150x93.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2016-ford-gt.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Ford claims that the GT has a maximum speed of 216 MPH, making it one of the the fastest street-legal sports cars out there.

During the &rsquo;60s, Ferrari dominated Le Mans, with its cars winning six consecutive times from 1960 to 1965. In an attempt to rival Ferrari, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/web-stories\/henry-ford-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ford Motor Company\">Ford Motor Company<\/a> commissioned the research and development for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/web-stories\/who-is-carroll-shelby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ford GT\">Ford GT<\/a> in 1963. By 1966, Ford won the race with the GT, and then also won the next three races until 1969.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ford GTs used in Le Mans were powered by a carbureted V8 engine that produced anywhere between 350 to 485 horsepower, depending on the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After more than three decades, Ford decided to make a Ford GT sports car for the public. It also coincided with The Ford Motor Company&rsquo;s centennial anniversary. The first-generation Ford GT was made from 2005 to 2006, with a production run of around 4,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2012, Ford&rsquo;s performance team decided to revive the Ford GT again. Ford wanted to beat Ferrari at Le Mans again in 2016, 50 years after the GT40 achieved the same feat. The second-generation Ford GT is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 647 horsepower. Ford didn&rsquo;t opt for a traditional V8 engine like prior Ford GTs. Instead, it opted to use a turbocharged V6 engine, which is lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to the cars made by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/porsche\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Porsche\">Porsche<\/a> and Lamborghini, the GT is less luxurious, especially on the inside. However, the GT costs twice as much. Despite these drawbacks, the Ford GT remains unique. With its identity and heritage, it&rsquo;s a sports car built without compromises for the track.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Ford claims that the GT has a maximum speed of 216 MPH.
