So long as they remain stock, all supercars are beautiful, yet some are much sexier than others. Oh, and the unmolested reference made above is not a must.
Confused much? Well, let's shed some light on that while mentioning one gorgeous Ford GT. The tuning fairy paid a visit to this copy, presumably quite recently, and despite featuring some modifications that might anger the purist crowd, it is one superb build.

We haven't run out of adjectives to describe this sumptuous creation, which was placed under the spotlight by wheelsboutique on Instagram earlier in the week. And as you have likely guessed, it rocks an aftermarket alloy set, the RS2.3 Concave, in this case, signed by Anrky.

The retro-ish proposal features a three-piece forged construction, comes in 19- to 24-inch diameters with widths ranging from 4 to 14 inches, and comes to life in the US of A. The American supercar also sits a bit closer to the ground courtesy of the revised suspension that bears the signature of KW, and it has Brembo brakes assisting the wheels mentioned above.

Mind you, the icing on the cake is certainly the widebody conversion. Looking all fattened up for winter, this Ford GT seems ready to take on a tactical closed course and chase after lap times. As for the finish, unless we're looking at a wrap, it mixes silver with red and the occasional black touch. Adorning the body is the number 17, which can be seen on the front hood, on the doors, and on the left rear quarter panel next to that ginormous wing.

At this point, you are probably curious if it is for sale and how much it costs. However, the truth is that we don't know if it is looking for a new home, as the social media post doesn't say anything else about it. Therefore, we can assume it was tuned at the request of its owner, who deserves a big round of applause for their exquisite taste in supercars and for managing to make this Ford GT even sexier than it was when it rolled off the line in the mid-2000s.

That's right, you're looking at the original one that was deemed as the spiritual successor to the iconic GT40, which was made from 2004 to 2006. Powering it is a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 hooked up to a six-speed manual transmission. The output was rated at 550 hp (558 ps/410 kW) back in the day, and it had 500 pound-feet (678 Nm) of torque to play with. For a modern classic, it certainly is fast, as it was clocked at 3.3 seconds from 0 to 60 miles an hour (0 to 97 kph) in a test conducted by Car&Driver back in the day.
