Ford GT 2017

The Ford badge carries a certain weight when a buyer considers a supercar, and the catalogue data shows a more interesting picture than a simple assumption of outright numbers. The 2017 Ford GT reaches 348 km/h, placing it 57th for top speed among 600 cars, yet its power rank is 141st rather than a place at the very top. Its significance comes from the balance of its figures and the way those figures sit against the wider collection.

The standout detail is not a single headline statistic, but the combination behind it. Across the 600-car catalogue, 51 cars use a V6 engine layout, 22 pair a V6 with rear-wheel drive, and 23 are twin-turbocharged V6 cars. The Ford GT occupies that narrow intersection with a 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 producing 647 bhp and 746 Nm of torque. That specification places it in a distinct corner of the collection, where the character of the powertrain matters as much as the final performance figures.

The performance confirms why it remains a serious consideration. A 0-100 km/h time of 3 seconds places it faster than 488 cars in the catalogue, ranking 112th overall. Rear-wheel drive connects its 2-door coupé format with a traditional supercar layout, while its 348 km/h top speed keeps it firmly within the upper reaches of the collection.

Its position is also defined by value. At a used price of £520,000, it ranks 83rd by cost among the 600 cars, placing it above 517 others in the catalogue. That figure reflects a car that sits in a high-value part of the market without relying solely on maximum power as its measure of appeal. The Ford GT also comes from a manufacturer founded in 1903 in the United States, adding another established name to a catalogue that includes 31 American cars.

With 1,350 built, the Ford GT has a recorded production figure that can be measured against the 177 cars in the catalogue with known production counts. That number gives its place in a collection a tangible point of reference.

The expectation attached to this badge begins with performance, but the catalogue reveals a more precise story. The 2017 Ford GT is not simply defined by chasing the highest rank in every category. It brings a distinctive V6 twin-turbocharged, rear-wheel-drive formula, strong acceleration, high speed and a production figure that gives it a clear identity among known quantities. In a dream garage, this is the car that changes the conversation from how many numbers it can claim to why this particular combination belongs there.
