Ford GT Mk II. (Doc. RM Sotheby's)

JAKARTA - Automotive lovers, be patient. There is an extraordinary automotive masterpiece that will be auctioned off by RM Sotheby's auction house in Arizona, USA on January 25 and this is not just a racing car. This is the Ford GT Mk II, the true monster track produced is only 45 units in the world, and this one has never even touched the asphalt circuit.

Reporting from the RM Sotheby's page, December 18, with the new odometer showing 43.9 km, the Ford GT Mk II for the 2021 production year is clearly rarely used by the owner. The white body is decorated with an elegant carbon fiber midline and blue accent, equipped with an exclusive custom livery on the back wing. Meanwhile, Forgeline Satin Graphite's rim is increasingly adding a fierce impression on its aggressive form.

But beauty is not the only weapon of GT Mk II. Behind the fiber carbon skin, the EcoBoost V6 3.5 liters twin-turbo engine is stored, producing 700 dk or 53 dk of power from ordinary GT and almost 200 dk more than the specifications of racing car competition. This powerful force is channeled through the enhanced Getrag 7DCL750 double coupling transmission.

Not only machines, but the aerodynamics of GT Mk II are not kidding. The double back wing that replaces the active unit in the standard version is claimed to produce a 400 percent larger downforce than the usual GT, and is able to withstand the lateral force up to 2.0 g! The carbon-keramic Brembo brakes in all four wheels ensure that the stopping power is commensurate with its performance.

Entering the cabin, a viscous racing aura is felt. The carbon fiber steering circle, minimalist dashboard with additional control, and the Sparco FIA-certified racing seat are ready to welcome the driver. The passenger seat option is also available for those who want to share the sensation. Rollage complete with 6 points of hardness and the fire fighting system guarantees safety when in action on the circuit.

GT Mk II with frame number 031 is equipped with a factory option worth more than US$134,000 or Rp2.08 billion including passenger seat, coolingsuit, Motec V2 camera, onboard air-jack system, Mk II code reader, HD dive planes, and paint shielding layer. Not to forget the optional silent exhaust, the stand for the air-jack system, an additional set of wheels with attached tires, and a set of Michelin racing slick tires.

The Ford GT Mk II #031 is the peak of Ford's performance evolution, ideal for Blue Oval collectors, racing lovers, and drivers who are thirsty for true adrenaline. RM Sotheby's estimates its auction price at 900 thousand-1.1 million US dollars or equivalent to Rp13.9 billion-Rp15.5 billion.
