By any objective measure, today's [/roadshow/reviews/2017-ford-gt-preview/ Ford GT street car] is unusually close in design to the GT race car that the Blue Oval competes with at racetracks around the globe. Of course, that doesn't mean that the two can't get even closer. Enter the Ford GT Mk II. Believe it or not, in many ways, this $1.2 million, randomly generated track-only model is actually more potent than the company's own factory race cars.
Unveiled at the UK's Goodwood Festival of Speed on Thursday, just 45 of these GT Mk II models will be produced. Ford officials tell Roadshow that these examples are earmarked to come out of the GT's original planned allocation of 1,350 cars so as not to harm the resale or collector value of existing cars with a larger total production figure.
