The 2006 Ford GT is a mid-engined sports car produced by Ford.
It is equipped with a 5.4L supercharged Modular V8 producing 550 horsepower. It's the modern interpretation of the GT40 from the 1960s which won the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans race four times.
It was built to mark the 100th anniversary of Ford's formation as a car manufacturer after the GT90 was presented at the 90th anniversary. A second generation GT entered production in 2016 to mark 50 years since the GT40 Mk. II won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966.

The GT was made available in Need for Speed: World on May 3, 2011 as a tier 3 car. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a B class vehicle.
The acceleration and handling of the Ford GT was sub-par compared to other tier 3 cars before it was retuned on May 5, 2012. It is currently one of the fastest accelerating B class cars, though it is less effective in A class events. It handles well but tends to understeer in difficult corners. It also has a weak nitrous boost and a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h).
Since the Ford GT has a high weight and quick acceleration, it is best used in Pursuit Outrun and Team Escape.
