Ford GT Gets Rendered With A Race-Ready Bodykit

Rendering by Khyzyl Saleem

Since most of us can’t even imagine spending six-figures on anything other than a house, it can be difficult to comprehend the mindset of somebody who spends $400,000 on an already-amazing vehicle. Yet the 2004/2005 Ford GT, the most-expensive factory Ford ever built at $150,000, has become one of the most modified supercars on the planet. Just trying to find a bone stock one can be both difficult, and expensive. Go ahead, check eBay if you don’t believe us.

So even though the 2017 Ford GT isn’t even on sale yet (and likely won’t be until next year at the earliest), Internet artists and renderers have already started modifying the Blue Oval’s latest supercar…at least virtually. While most of these renders are par-for-course at best, and gaudy and overbearing at worst, one in particular caught our eye from the talented Khyzyl Saleem. Taking his cue from the GT’s Le Mans racing history, Saleem added a widebody kit inspired by Liberty Walk (and mixed in with a bit of Lamborghini Egoista) that gives the new Ford supercar a race-ready look.

Liberty Walk, for those that don’t know, focuses mostly on high-end, elite automobiles from the likes of Lamborghini, Porsche, and other European exotics. While they definitely have some kits pertaining to modern American muscle cars like the Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300, most of the vehicles they modify have starting prices well into the six-figures. In other words, Liberty Walk and the Ford GT are a great fit, especially with the low-slung, racing look Saleem gave his rendering.

Ford has already announced that the GT would return to the Circuit de la Sarthe for the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, rolling out a race-prepped version of the GT prototype. You can bet that deep-pocketed buyers are already scoping out options for making their $400,000 supercar stand out from the crowd.

No matter how much money you have apparently, the desire to be different never really goes away.
