The first road-going version of the all-new 2017 Ford GT has rolled off the line – heralding the beginning of production of the long-awaited halo car from Ford Performance.



The Ford GT was originally unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in January 2015. The race-going version competed in both the IMSA WeatherTech Championship and World Endurance Championship this year, winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Raj Nair, Ford executive vice president, global product development, and chief technical officer, marked the milestone by driving a Ford GT off the assembly line at the low-volume assembly facility at Multimatic in Markham, Ontario.
"When we kicked off 2016, we had two primary objectives for our Ford GT supercar – to excel at Le Mans, and to start deliveries before year-end," said Nair. "We've achieved both."
"For everyone involved in designing and developing this car, including all of our employees and suppliers, this is a moment to celebrate," he adds. "The all-new Ford GT is a showcase of our strength in innovation and our commitment to delivering more for our customers – especially related to lightweight materials, aerodynamics and EcoBoost engine technologies."
