Grid Iron Beast
2005 Ford GT
The Grid Iron Beast reimagines the 2005 Ford GT as a razor-sharp FIA GT3 contender with a focus on sprint endurance and track dominance. Its widebody architecture stretches the front and rear tracks by 220mm each side, accommodating massive Michelin GT racing slicks while respecting GT3 dimensional limits. Carbon fiber fenders integrate canards and vortex generators that channel airflow precisely, while the hood and rear engine cover feature NACA ducts and louvered vents optimized for cooling and downforce balance. The suspension employs pushrod coilovers and adjustable anti-roll bars, locking in a 75mm ride height for aggressive cornering stability.

Wave 15
What if GT3 Built This: Vol. 1
Our builds are a wild sprint through an alternate GT3 multiverse where muscle, metal, and madness collide with pro racing precision. We took the classic and the unexpected — from British lightweights to American muscle icons and even a crossover that forgot it was an SUV — then shoved them headfirst into the unforgiving world of FIA GT3 racing.
