The first generation Ford GT is a mid-engined sports car produced by Ford.

The acceleration and handling of the Ford GT was sub-par compared to other tier 3 cars before it was retuned on May 5, 2012.

It also has a weak nitrous boost and a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h).
Since the Ford GT has a high weight and quick acceleration, it is best used in Pursuit Outrun and Team Escape.
