This particular Ford GT, finished in a striking Frozen White with Ingot Silver graphics, is not merely a car; it’s a sculpted work of art. Its odometer registers a mere 753 miles, underscoring its pristine condition. The car was delivered new to Reineke Ford in Lima, Ohio, carrying a base price of $587,750, with an additional $49,000 in factory options, a clear indication of its exclusivity and the meticulous attention to detail in its creation.

The heart of this automotive masterpiece is a mid-mounted 3.5L twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine, an engineering marvel delivering a staggering 660 HP. This translates to an astounding 183 HP per liter and 550 lb-ft of torque. Enhanced by an Akrapovic titanium exhaust system, this powertrain is not just about brute force; it’s a symphony of power and precision, managed by a paddle-shifted Getrag 7-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission.

From a design perspective, the GT’s aerodynamic prowess is unmatched. Its teardrop shape, seen from above, tapers sharply towards the rear, with flying buttresses channeling cool air to the engine. The car’s aggressive front styling and pod-style LED tail lights enhance its dynamic presence, while the Gloss Exterior Carbon Fiber package, a $15,000 addition, adds to its allure.
