In-game description[]
- "This third generation Ford GT continues the legacy begun so many years ago by the famed GT40. Equipped with a 3.6L V6 twin-turbo engine, it boasts an output of 646.9 BHP, with maximum torque of 76 kgfm. These supreme specs make it the highest-powered road car Ford has ever put into production. The race version was earning plaudits as early as 2016, finishing top in its class at Le Mans. This was no insignificant victory, coming as it did exactly 50 years after a GT first won the very same race."
- ―In-game description of the car, from GT7's Brand Central
From 2005 to 2006, Ford produced the Ford GT, a remake of the GT40 which saw success in the Le Mans 24 hour race in the 1960s. At the 2015 Detroit Motor Show, they announced a 2nd generation model with further advancements.
The previous model was styled almost exactly like the original GT40, but while the second generation model, updated 9 years later, carried over the image of the GT40, the concept was now very different, with various aerodynamic improvements being implemented. These included an active rear spoiler, and under the panel flowing from the roof to the rear fenders there was now a large air tunnel going from the side through to the rear.
The body was also a structure combining aluminum front and rear sub-frames, and the body panels were made of carbon for thorough weight reduction.
The power unit was not the traditional V8, but a twin turbocharged 3.5L V6. Producing 646 BHP and 76 kgfm combined with a 7 speed DCT transmission, the car marked a top speed of 347 km/h.
Cafe Conversations (GT7)[]
Kagurazaka[]
The Mini, Beetle and Cinquecento of today... Are more than just products of their manufacturers. They have become unique brands unto themselves. Well, the Ford GT that appeared in 2005 is a sports car example of this phenomenon. Nine years later, a slew of hypercars would appear, stirring fierce rivalry. This 2017 Ford GT returned to its origins while, at the same time, adopting innovation. Viewed from a low angle, it bears traces of the 1960s car that raced at Le Mans. And from a higher angle, one can clearly make out its innovative three-dimensional design.

Trivia[]
- The car in the game has active rear wing functionality, despite being set to use the Sport driving mode, which disables the active aerodynamics on the actual car; the feature is only available on the Track and Vmax modes (out of five available, adjusted by a dial on the steering wheel - the other two are Wet and Normal)
- Despite needing an application and to be selected by Ford themselves, for a build slot to purchase the car in real life, the car doesn't require a brand invitation in GT7.
