Second-generation Ford GT in ’67 Heritage livery — red, white roundel number 1 — on a black show floor

Ford GT Born from air

Air doesn't go around it. It goes through it. The second-generation GT: 647 horsepower drafted into the shape of the wind, then sent back to Le Mans to settle a fifty-year-old score.

Every surface negotiates with the wind

The buttresses don't block the air; they invite it through. Twin channels run between the canopy and the rear haunches, feeding the wing, while the keeled fuselage splits the flow underneath.

Keel fuselage

The cabin tapers to a teardrop; the mass rides in a narrow keel slung between the wheels.
Flying buttresses

Air passes through the body, not around it: pressure recovered, rear axle pinned.
Active wing · Gurney flap

Rises, tilts and air-brakes on its own judgement. In Track mode it simply stays out.

Six cylinders of heresy

They said a supercar needs twelve cylinders. Le Mans disagreed.

Fifty years between checkered flags

’66

The GT40 sweeps Le Mans 1-2-3. Ferrari never saw it coming. Then it happened again in ’67, ’68 and ’69.

’16

Fifty years later, to the weekend, the GT returns and takes LM GTE Pro: car #68, Hand · Müller · Bourdais.

Fighter jet protocol

The seat is bolted straight to the monocoque. You don't adjust to this car. It adjusts to you: pedals and wheel travel to the driver, and the world arrives through a canopy of Gorilla Glass.
