The original Ford GT was a pure race car built in the mid-1960s to take on Ferrari in the dem and ing 24-hour race at Le Mans. The Ford GT race car beat the world's best in endurance racing, placing 1-2-3 at Le Mans in 1966.

2006 marks the 40th anniversary of that historic event, the start of Ford's remarkable four-year winning streak of the world's premier endurance race. A special limited-edition exterior color, Tungsten Grey, is being offered on the 2006 Ford GT to commemorate that sterling victory.

To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Ford's first win at Le Mans , the 2006 Ford GT will be offered in a limited-edition Tungsten Grey, which replaces Quick Silver on the Ford GT's color palette. A Quick Silver racing stripe can be added to the Tungsten Grey package.
