Why it matters
The second-generation Ford GT was developed in secrecy and shown at the 2015 Detroit show with the declared aim of winning its class at Le Mans in 2016, fifty years after the GT40's 1-2-3 finish. It replaced the supercharged V8 of the 2005-2006 car with a twin-turbo V6 and a carbon fibre structure. Ford planned only 1,350 cars and sold them through an application process, which makes it much rarer than the 2005-2006 model.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |

| Total model productionstreet cars built | 1,3501 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Ford introduced the car at the 2015 Detroit show after developing it in near-total secrecy; a small group under chief technical officer Raj Nair set out to build a road car that could also be homologated for the GTE racing class. The racing version won its class at Le Mans in 2016, with Chip Ganassi Racing running the entry.
Production began in December 2016 at Multimatic in Ontario, Canada, with a first target of 1,000 cars over four years that was later raised to 1,350. Buyers had to apply, past involvement with the marque counted in their favour, and they were barred from reselling for 48 months. Applications outnumbered the available allocations by nearly ten to one at the launch. Production ended in late 2022.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
The car has a carbon fibre passenger cell with aluminium front and rear subframes, carbon body panels with flying buttresses that duct air to the engine, and an active rear spoiler. Under the glass engine cover sits a mid-mounted 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6. Cached lot VINs begin 2FAGP9CW; the serials read HH2000xx for 2017 cars and JH1000xx for 2018 cars. European-specification cars exist: one lot calls a 2018 car one of 50 delivered in that specification.
