The 2006 Ford GT we’re featuring here is finished in Speed Yellow and has only covered 1,284 miles. It is one of only 31 examples produced in this color with black brake calipers. On average, the car has only traveled 116 km per year, less than 10 km per month, making it almost brand new.
It comes fully loaded with manufacturer options: black stripes, McIntosh audio, forged wheels, and black-painted brake calipers. It also includes all the original parts, boxes, and paperwork, making it an extremely desirable 2006 Ford GT.
When Ford introduced the GT in the mid-2000s, they didn’t follow the trend of loading their flagship cars with electronic gadgets and comforts like luxury automakers. Instead, they built a machine focused on power and a minimalist interior, ensuring the driver’s undivided attention on the driving experience.
The GT is not just a mode of transport; it’s a driver’s car in the truest sense, shaped by its Le Mans heritage and equipped with a supercharged V8 engine that demands skill, not software. Amidst this changing landscape, the Ford GT is a deliberate nod to the past while confidently marching into the future.
This particular GT is one of only 31 cars painted in Speed Yellow with black brake calipers out of the 2,011 produced in 2006. Already rare in terms of color and configuration, the car becomes even more appealing when you consider its incredibly low mileage of 1,284 miles.
It’s uncommon to find a modern supercar from the past two decades with such low mileage, and even rarer to find one with such attractive specifications. This scarcity is why Barrett-Jackson describes the car as “frozen in time.”
At its core is a 5.4-liter DOHC supercharged V8 engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, producing 550 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. These figures are still impressive by today’s standards.
Ford offered the GT with four factory options for customers to choose from, and this car has them all: black racing stripes, McIntosh audio system, lightweight forged wheels, and black-painted brake calipers. Each detail tells a part of the story of the mid-2000s.
To understand the significance of the Ford GT, consider its competitors at the time. Ferrari F430 introduced the first popular paddle-shift gearbox. Lamborghini Gallardo reshaped the brand with its new V10 engine. Porsche’s Carrera GT was hailed as one of the last great analog supercars.
In this context, the Ford GT was both a peer and an exception. It matched the performance of its European rivals but offered something none of them could: a direct lineage to the GT40 that humbled Ferrari at Le Mans in the 1960s.
What makes this 2006 GT so appealing today is how it connects the ages. Just a few years after its launch, the supercar world became dominated by dual-clutch gearboxes, hybrid systems, and electronic fine-tuning.
The GT sidestepped all of that. It stuck to an old-school philosophy: a car should demand attention, precision, and an exhilarating feel for the driver. Driving it now feels almost rebellious, reminiscent of high-performance cars before computers intervened.
The auction of this rare Ford GT by Barrett-Jackson at their 2025 Scottsdale Fall Auction, taking place from October 15-18 at WestWorld, has caught the attention of enthusiasts. With its low mileage, full options, and complete documentation, the car is sure to attract collectors who value a purebred over sheer performance.
