Carrying on the legacy of Ford’s GT40 race car, storied for its milestone podium sweep over Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, the Blue Oval marque reimagined the model as the first-generation Ford GT in 2004. A second generation was revealed 11 years later, then fittingly introduced as an entry in the 2016 edition of Le Mans, taking first and third in the LMGTE Pro class. Production of the street-legal iteration yielded 1,350 examples, and the one set to cross the auction block through Broad Arrow—consigned by the original owner—was specified for Italy and is pristine, with only 33 miles on it (at the time of cataloging).
“Another area Broad Arrow are making their own: modern hypercars," says Kidston. “This one has great colors and virtually negative mileage, the ultimate trump card amongst owners… and the price is keen. Don’t tell anybody, but I actually quite like it."

Number build: 1,350
Engine: Twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6
Output: 660 hp
