When brands like Mansory and Under Armour come together, we know the result is something special. This time, they have joined forces to create the one-of-a-kind Under Armour Le Mansory Ford GT, inspired by none other than Steph Curry.

Ford GT is an exclusive car in itself, combining American muscle and European precision. Its racing heritage dates back to its famous victory at Le Mans in 1966, and today's version is a modern interpretation of that legendary beast. But Mansory, known for its extreme and often controversial modifications, did not stop with the classic elegance of the Ford GT. This time, the modification is called the Under Armour Le Mansory Ford GT.

In collaboration with a sports brand Under Armour have created something even more drastic – a one-of-a-kind Le Mansory Ford GT, a tribute to basketball genius Steph Curry. It’s not just a car, it’s a moving sculpture that combines automotive and sports culture in the most daring package possible.

Special edition Under Armor Le Mansory Ford GThis isn't just an aesthetic move, but part of a promotion for the new Mansory x Under Armour clothing collection, which will be released in August. Instead of a classic campaign, they opted for something more eye-catching – a car that reflects Curry's dynamic style and the color scheme of his special Under Armour Echo sneakers, which he premiered at All-Star weekend.

More aggressive than the original – Under Armour Le Mansory Ford GT

Mansory already introduced its brutal interpretation of the Ford GT, called Le Mansory, in 2020. Now they've upgraded that conversion and made it even more extreme. The body is wider, the aerodynamics are even more aggressive, and the entire car gives the impression of a futuristic hypercar that you'd rather expect to see in a sci-fi video game than on real roads.

The main visual feature is the unique carbon design in a black and yellow combination, which expresses power and exclusivity. The front end has been completely redesigned, with new LED headlights that give the car an even wilder look. On the sides, the carbon fiber flows into the sharp lines of the widened fenders, while at the rear, a massive wing and diffuser ensure optimal downforce at high speeds.

The rims are of a forged design and follow the same color philosophy - the black and yellow combination reinforces the sporty character, while the wider tire means more grip on the asphalt.

More power, more speed

Under the hood of the Under Armour Le Mansory Ford GT is a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that produces 669 hp (493 kW) and 746 Nm of torque in the standard version. But Mansory wouldn't be Mansory without a little more throttle. The engine has been revved up by more than 50 hp, which means that this special edition now reaches at least 720 hp (529 kW).

The extra power also improves the top speed, now at 354 km/h (220 mph), making it faster than the standard Ford GT, which reaches 347 km/h. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h remains lightning fast – around 3 seconds, meaning this machine could compete with the best electric hypercars on the market at a red light.

An interior that exudes exclusivity

If the exterior is aggressive, the interior is no less. Mansory has dressed the cabin in a combination of Alcantara, leather and carbon fiber, which creates a sense of prestige and sporty purpose at the same time. The seats are sporty, but at the same time luxurious enough to survive a long drive in them, although we all know that this car will spend most of its time in the air-conditioned garage of some super-rich collector.

Of course, the black and yellow color scheme of the Under Armour Le Mansory Ford GT dominates here too, which perfectly matches the aforementioned Under Armour Echo sneakers. Details such as contrasting stitching and special Mansory logos further emphasize the uniqueness of this model.

Exclusivity you can't buy

If you've been dreaming of buying this unique Ford GT, we've got some bad news - the car is not for sale. It's a one-off, used to promote a new clothing line, and will likely remain in Mansory's possession or end up in Curry's garage.

Price? If it were to sell, it would definitely be in the millions. A stock Ford GT costs around €500,000 (€540,000 for the $), but Mansory's conversions are known to double or even triple the price. If this car were to hit the market, it could easily fetch over €1.5 million, if not more.

Conclusion – sneakers on four wheels

Under Armor Le Mansory Ford GT is the automotive equivalent of exclusive sneakers – aggressive, powerful, sophisticated and reserved for the select few. It combines the automotive madness of Mansory, the unrivaled heritage of the Ford GT and the global influence of Steph Curry.

Is this the best Ford GT ever? From an exclusivity perspective, the answer is probably yes. But if you're a purist and swear by the original Ford GT, this carbon monster might leave you cold. But one thing is clear - this car is the definition of extravagance, where the automotive and sports industries come together to create one of the most striking creations of recent times.
