Following the success of the race, Ford offered the Ford
GT to customers in the 2017 model year. Among those
produced was a handful of Competition Series cars,
which were customer copies of the 2016 race car that
won the LMGTE Pro class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The Competition Series lacked anything not essential to
performance - including things like air conditioning, a
sound system and cupholders.
In 2019, a compelling addition graced the order form
of the Ford GT: the 600A Lightweight Package. This
package drew inspiration from the weight-saving
strategies of the Competition Series, incorporating
elements such as titanium lug nuts, a titanium exhaust
and a lightweight Alcantara steering wheel. However,
it skillfully maintained the creature comforts found
in the standard Ford GT, including features like air
conditioning, cup holders and the infotainment system.
By offering this option, Ford struck a harmonious
balance between shedding unnecessary weight and
preserving the desirable amenities that enhance the
overall driving experience.
The unique 2019 Ford GT heading to Barrett-Jackson's
2023 Las Vegas Auction is a No Reserve offering. The
event, scheduled for June 22-24, takes place in the West
