The Best Cars Ford Ever MadeFord is one of the most famous and historic automotive manufacturers. Its story started with the Ford Model T and continues with machines such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the latest version of the Mustang. This list contains ten of the very best Fords throughout the company’s history, ranging from some of their daily drivers to supercars such as the Ford GT. Ford’s success will no doubt continue as the company enters the all-electric era.Ford GT40One of Ford’s greatest creations is the iconic GT40 from the 1960s. The GT40 was created in collaboration with Carroll Shelby and his team as the Blue Oval looked to take on the might of Ferrari at the Le Mans 24 Hours. The GT40’s power came from a range of V8 engines, ranging from 255 ci to 427 ci. Ford used the British Lola Mk6 as its starting point. The GT40 would dominate Le Mans in the mid-’60s, and it took a famous, if slightly controversial, 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 edition of the race.Ford Model TOf course, a car as famous as the Ford Model T will be on this list. Many say it started mass-affordable automobile production and was one of the first to be produced in mass quantities. Producing began in 1908 and continued until 1927, with the Model T evolving as time went on. It has regularly been called the most influential car of the 20th century, and over 15 million had left Ford’s factory by the time production ceased. Only the VW Beetle has surpassed this, which did so in 1972.Lotus 49 Ford-CosworthWhile not a Ford car, the Lotus 49 used a Ford-Cosworth engine to take it to Formula 1 success in the late 1960s. The Lotus 49 was the first F1 car to use the engine as a stressed member of the chassis, revolutionizing the sport. The car finished second in the 1967 F1 constructors’ title before winning it twice in 1968 and 1970. The Lotus 49 also won two world drivers’ titles, with Graham Hill taking the spoils in 1968 and Jochen Rindt winning it posthumously in 1970 following his death at that year’s Italian Grand Prix.2004 Ford GTThe first of Ford’s GT supercars appeared in 2004 and was available for just two model years, making it exceptionally rare. The GT40 inspired the new Ford GT’s design, and it featured a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower. The retro styling was a big hit, and many view it as one of the greatest supercars of the 21st century. The car was also built to celebrate Ford’s 100th anniversary, with the headlight cluster designed to read “100” to signify this.First Generation Ford MustangIntroduced in 1964, the first-generation Ford Mustang is one of the world’s most iconic muscle cars. Its long hood and short deck became its trademark features, as did its incredible V8 engines. The Mustang introduced a whole new segment of automobiles: Pony Cars. Ford would produce multiple versions of the first-gen Mustang. The Boss 429 and the Mustang Mach 1 were among them, and even sixty years after its introduction, the first Mustang was one of the most popular muscle cars ever made.1955 Ford ThunderbirdThe 1955 Ford Thunderbird is one of the Blue Oval’s most recognizable creations. It was the original two-seater Thunderbird, produced from 1955 to 1957 before Ford enlarged it and made it a four-seater. The Thunderbird was built as a luxury sports car, and its chrome trim and slim body helped it to rise in popularity incredibly quickly. Ford used its Y-block V8s under the hood of the Thunderbird, and it trounced the Chevrolet Corvette in its first year of production, with 16,155 sold compared to just 674 Corvettes.2016 Ford GTFord brought the GT back in 2016, and the car also returned to the Le Mans 24 Hours that same year, as the company celebrated 50 years since its first victory at the race. It made an explosive debut at the race, taking first and third in the LM GTE-Pro class and winning multiple other races in the WEC and IMSA championships. The new Ford GT had a very different engine under the hood, a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 making up to 660 horsepower. The GT Mk II would see that increase to 700 horsepower, and there was a tremendous sense of sadness when Ford ceased GT production at the end of 2022.Ford F-100The 1953 Ford F-100 was the pickup truck that would produce the Ford F-150 we know and love today. The F-100 was part of the second generation of Ford’s F-Series pickups, which produced a wide range of versions, from light-duty trucks to heavy-duty pickups. This generation also saw Ford shift from its one-digit model numbers to three-digit numbers for both the F-100 and the F-350. The F-100 is now a highly popular classic truck and one of the most important vehicles Ford has ever made.Ford Sierra RS Cosworth The Ford Sierra RS Cosworth is one of the most outrageous-looking cars that the Blue Oval ever made. The enormous rear wing, bulky bodywork, and insane power made it an icon of the 1980s, and it proved that the Malaise era was well and truly over. The Sierra RS Cosworth proved its worth by winning the World Touring Car Championship in 1987. Its power came from a mighty 207 horsepower 2.9-liter turbocharged four-pot. In the RS500 versions, that power output grew to an incredible 227 horses.
