Want one of these rare Fords? You better be a millionaire

A rare collection of Ford GTs, inspired by the iconic GT40 race cars, is now available for purchase.
The ultra-rare Ford GT Mk IV alone cost the selling dealership an astonishing $1.8 million to acquire.
Each Ford GT is powered by a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, producing between 660 and more than 800 hp.

Three nearly identical Ford GTs have hit the market and each takes inspiration from the classic GT40 race cars of the 1960s. Anyone who is an avid Ford fan or collector would do well to make an offer before it’s too late.

The incredible three-car collection consists of a road-going 2021 Ford GT, a 2022 Ford GT Mk II race car and the 2023 Ford GT Mk IV, the definitive track-focused version of the mid-engine supercar. THE 2021 GT It has a custom finish combining Frozen White with a blue bonnet and blue stripes, taking inspiration from the paintwork of a GT40 working prototype, known as the GT/105. Together, they represent the pinnacle of Ford engineering, but owning one will cost a lot.

The sale is being handled by a dealership in Ontario, Canada, and they are keen to point out that the 2021 model only has 88 km (55 miles) on the clock. It’s chassis #105 and the interior has been customized to feature black leather and blue Alcantara on the carbon fiber Sparo seats. The original sticker price? A cool $786,200 – not exactly a bargain, but considering the rarity and condition, it very well could be.

Then we move on to the 2022 Ford GT Mk II. Only 45 examples were built by Ford Performance and Multimatic Motorsports. This is chassis no. 26, and its blue and white livery is inspired by the GT/106 GT40 Mk II prototype that was driven by Bruce McLaren and Ken Miles in the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is the only modern Mk II in this finish abroad and has 160 miles (257 km) under its belt. Talk about a garage queen.

2022 Ford GT Mk II

Ford made a multitude of changes to the MK II to make it a track weapon. For example, the 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 has been tuned to produce 700 hp, there’s an updated transmission, new aerodynamic add-ons and air intakes. It’s also equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport tires and a custom interior that includes new Sparco seats. If the $1,287,575 price tag doesn’t scare you, perhaps the thought of destroying these slicks will.

Last but not least is the 2023 Milestone IV. Only 67 units were built of this track-focused monster for the GT’s final model year, and this car has a livery inspired by a 1966 GT 40 Mk IV, chassis J-1. It also combines Frozen White elements with dark blue accents and, since it was delivered, it has only been driven three miles. It’s even crazier than the Mk II, producing over 800 hp and costing the dealer $1,806,100 when ordered.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a piece of Ford’s automotive heritage, this is as close as it gets – assuming your wallet is as deep as your love for all things Ford.
