In 2005, Ford debuted the GR-1 at the North American
International Auto Show. A spiritual successor to the Shelby Daytona
coupe, the GR-1 was part of Ford's push for a retro supercar that also
saw the Ford Shelby Cobra concept in 2004 and culminated in the
legendary Ford GT that entered production the same year. 14 years later,
the Ford has announced that the GR-1 is going to be built thanks to a
licensing deal with Superperformance, a company that makes officially
licensed Cobra and GT40 replicas. The original GR-1 concept packed a 6.4
liter, 600 horsepower V10, and Ford says that both ICE and electric
versions will be produced, along with a special edition closely based on
the 2005 concept. Ford said that production will be limited to about
200 units, and like the new GT, will go fast to a very exclusive group
of buyers.
