Production of the Ford GT supercar will soon come to an end, but it is about to begin again in a roundabout way.

Ford currently sells the $500,000 GT that was launched in 2017, but is wrapping up the run in the coming weeks with 20 GT LM Edition street cars and 67 Ford GT MK IV track cars, priced at $1.7 million each.

This generation followed a GT that was inspired by the Le Mans racers of the 1960s and built from 2004 through 2006 with a 550 hp supercharged V8 that could power it to 205 mph.
