A rare 2017 Ford GT is heading to auction. Finished in custom Riviera Blue, it is reportedly the only example of the second-generation GT to leave the factory in this shade, a colour more commonly associated with Porsche.

There is another detail that makes this car stand out. It is the only example specified without the NVH panel between the occupants and the carbon-fibre tub, leaving the carbon finish exposed. The car also gets a $30,000 exterior carbon-fibre package, 20-inch carbon-fibre wheels and factory-painted brake calipers.

Inside, the cabin features Dark Energy Alcantara and Sparco carbon-fibre bucket seats.

Power comes from Ford’s 3.5-litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, producing 647 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox sends power to the rear wheels, allowing the GT to hit 60 mph in around 3 seconds and reach 216 mph.
