It's one thing to keep a single example of a desirable car in as-delivered condition in hopes of cashing in after production winds down. It's another to have fifteen pristine brand-new copies of the fastest cars Ford ever sold become available all at once. More »

An anonymous tipster from Qatar sent this shot of a recently-wrecked Ford GT. No word on what happened, or where (the tipster insisted on remaining unidentified), but if I were a betting man, I'd say he understeered into a giant, golden yak. More »

American Le Mans Series privateers Dave and Andrea Robertson are apparently ready to pack it in. That means we may have seen the last of the Ford GT, a car Ford never intended to go racing, on a competitive racetrack. That's just sad. More »

The driver of this $140,000 Ford GT was traveling through Norton Shores, Mich., when he swerved to avoid a car heading into a driveway. The GT lost control and was split-in-half and roasted by a utility pole like a giant, V8-powered sunflower seed. The passenger and the driver somehow survived the crash, though the extent of their injuries are unknown. More »

Even on fire this 1,000-horsepower twin-turbo Ford GT is kind of sexy. Just look at the outline in the flames. Despite the sadness we feel at seeing a GT burn to the ground, there's a bit of schadenfreude in it for you Ferrari enthusiasts out there. More »

Five years ago Ford killed the GT, the mid-engine two-seater 550 HP "halo" supercar inspired by the automaker's classic GT40 racers of the1960s. Now we're told they might be working on a successor. Is Ford building a new GT? Yes, and it'll likely be a hybrid. More »

Everyone's favorite ponytail-ed Ford designer Camilo Pardo has teamed up with the twin-turboizing folks at Heffner Performance for a very special edition of the already special Ford GT. The Camilo Pardo Special Edition includes the typical Heffner Performance twin-turbo kit good for 900 HP and a 150 MPH quarter-mile speed. The differences come with the subtle interior and exterior tweaks that Pardo designed for the car, including concept-style rear bumper and aluminum seat grommets. Full details below. More »

While we'll be awaiting the results of an election tomorrow, certain Canadians will be awaiting the results of the auction of a Ford GT used as a pace car during various Canadian Champ Car races. As there are no more Champ Car races, and with the Canadian F1 Grand Prix gone, there's not much more for the pace car to do. There won't be any F1 races at all on the continent of North America next year — the first time that's happened since 1957. Lacking a race to lead (okay, there is still Indy) the car is now on the block for certain Canadian customers. This is a chance to pick up a rare version of an already rare car. Check out the flyer below the jump. More »

It now takes two hands to count the number of production supercars making over 600 HP, which means it’ll take at least 400 more HP to guarantee permanent one-upmanship against the Joneses. That's where this eBay find comes in. Sure, the starting price of $229,500 is a bit steep for a Ford GT, but you’ll be bidding on a car equipped with the best interior of any vehicle yet this decade. Oh, and there’s the Hennessey twin-turbo conversion that nets “1000+” HP and 865 lb-ft of twist. All that power is good for a 235.4 MPH top speed — but probably not a 7:26.4 ‘Ring lap. More »

In a sad follow-up to a story we brought you during our 2008 Woodward Dream Cruise coverage, the Ford GT-powered Ford Five Hundred built by Washtenaw Community College students was involved in an accident returning home from the Saturday event. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but newspaper reports of the incident state that the trailer containing the Five Hundred and a motorcycle swerved out of control and flipped, requiring both vehicles to be "cut from the trailer." To WCC and the entire automotive community, we mourn your loss today. Perhaps a GT500KR-powered Focus project would make you feel better. [MLive; Thanks, Mike the Dog] More »

At Washtenaw Community College near Ann Arbor, MI, you can take algebra and English lit. You can also take Custom Cars & Concepts, where your assignments might include building a mid-engine Ford Five Hundred with a supercharged 5.3-liter Ford GT engine putting out 550 HP. What course would you choose? Instructor Scott Malnar told us this beast was entirely student-built and took first place at the Autorama show two years ago in the "street exhibition and performance" category. One look at the gallery below will tell you it was well-deserved. More »

Today we encounter something different—an Anti-Auto Branding Adventure—with luggage giant, Samsonite, taking cutes from the auto industry for luggage designs. Recently announced are a few different types of luggage designs inspired by the automobile industry. The Graviton is a polycarbonate case with a design inspired by diamond plating used on vehicles. The Proteo is a case with unique laptop shock absorbing technology inspired by a car's suspension. The Silhouette 10 is a stylish rolling case that is "Inspired by modern cars," whatever the hell that really means. Check out the gallery below to see the luggage shown off with cars that wouldn't have near-enough trunk space to actually hold said luggage. More »

Eventually, auto enthusiasts of the Australian persuasion will rise up with pitchforks and torches and rebel against their fun-hating government. On Sunday, police in New South Wales descended upon a gathering of motorheads and proceeded to search 72 vehicles, issue 39 tickets and impound 18 vehicle — one of which was a rare $200,000 Ford Falcon GT. This wouldn't be such a huge deal except for that part about the impounding being permanent, and the vehicles being sent to auction, and the proceeds going to government coffers. Adding insult to injury for that Falcon driver, what was the offense? A second burnout ticket. More »
