2006 Ford GT

The original Ford GT was a pure race car built in the mid-1960s to take on Ferrari in the demanding 24-hour race at Le Mans. The Ford GT race car beat the world’s best in endurance racing, placing 1-2-3 at Le Mans in 1966. 2006 Ford GT is offered in a limited-edition Tungsten Grey, as part of Ford's celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Ford GT's legendary 1-2-3 sweep at LeMans.

Limited-edition Tungsten Grey Model Commemorates 1966 1-2-3 LeMans Victory

Source: Ford Motor Company | Published: Tue Oct 18, 2005

2006 marks the 40th anniversary of that historic event, the start of Ford's remarkable four-year winning streak of the world’s premier endurance race. A special limited-edition exterior color, Tungsten Grey, is being offered on the 2006 Ford GT to commemorate that sterling victory.

The original Ford GT racers were engineering and design marvels demonstrating Ford’s dedication and perseverance. In a few short years, under the direction of Henry Ford II, the company built a program from scratch that reached the pinnacle of international motorsports competition – and stayed there for four racing seasons.

Perhaps the world’s most significant – and glamorous – motorsport contest, Le Mans in the early 1960s was showing signs of becoming a Ferrari showcase, because the Italians had become the leaders in a number of endurance classes and events. But the Ford GT race car changed Le Mans forever, and today it signifies a new era for Ford Motor Company.

Carroll Shelby led the Ford GT domination of LeMans in the Sixties, and served as an advisor during the development of the new, 2005 Ford GT supercar.

Design and Equipment

To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Ford's first win at Le Mans , the 2006 Ford GT will be offered in a limited-edition Tungsten Grey, which replaces Quick Silver on the Ford GT's color palette. A Quick Silver racing stripe can be added to the Tungsten Grey package. ...Ford GT: Page 2
