The Ford GT's first television commercial, entitled "The One," positions the 205 mph, 550 horsepower supercar as the "pace car for an entire company.


The Ford GT is a mid-engined sports car built by Ford Motor Company from 2003 to 2006.

The 5.4L Modular V8 powerplant is all-aluminum and fed by a Lysholm twin screw-type supercharger.
Power output is 550 horsepower (410 kW) and 500 foot-pounds force (680 N·m) of torque.

A Ricardo six-speed manual transmission is fitted featuring a helical limited-slip differential.

The Ford GT features many new and unique technologies, including super-plastic-formed aluminum body panels, roll-bonded floor panels, a friction-stir welded center tunnel, a “ship-in-a-bottle” gas tank, a capless fuel filler system...
