This 2017 Ford GT is one of 27 ’66 Heritage Edition examples built in commemoration of the GT40 Mk II that Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove at Le Mans in 1966. It was purchased new by Alan Hartman, then studio manager of Turn 10 Studios, maker of the Forza racing video game series. It has spent much of the last seven years on display in the Turn 10 Studios office in Redmond, Washington state, and now has 2,500 miles. It is finished in Shadow Black with Ingot Silver stripes over a Dark Energy leather interior and is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle. The car was optioned with the $20k Heritage Roundel Graphics package, matte carbon-fiber exterior trim, and titanium lug nuts. Additional equipment includes a front-axle lift system, 20″ Satin Bronze forged wheels, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, butterfly doors, and a retractable active rear wing. This Ford GT is now offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with an ordering kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Washington state title. Proceeds from the sale will be donated to SpecialEffect, a registered charity in the UK that aims to transform the lives of physically disabled people through the innovative use of technology.
