The second-generation Ford GT evolved the formula from the more “authentic” first-gen, but it wasn’t lesser because of it. Paying homage to its 1966 Le Mans win, Ford called the track car version the GT Mark II and built 45 of them, all powered by a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 producing 700 horsepower (40 horses more than the street version). Other tweaks include a roof-mounted intake, special outboard system, larger fixed wing and diffuser, downsized 19-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport GT racing tires, fixed ride height, and stripped interior (helping reduce 200 pounds in the process). When new, the 2020 GT Mark II cost over $1.2 million, with this particular example selling for $1,088,500 at RM Sotheby’s auction during Monterey Car Week 2023.
