Raj Nair is not only the Executive Vice President and President of Ford North America, he was also the person who led the Ford GT project. To put it bluntly, if it were not for Nair, the current GT and its race team would not exist.
Story Behind the Riviera Blue 2017 Ford GT
Being such a force behind the company’s supercar, he had to get himself his own GT, but one unlike any other. Our friends over at FordGTForum.com have just handled the delivery of Nair’s 2018 GT, serial #0001.
Nair’s Ford GT is unlike any other, thanks to its “Victory” scheme that’s only available to those within the company. In fact, Bill Ford and Mark Fields had their 2017 GT’s (#0001 and #0002, respectively) in the same scheme, but in the 2016-2017 race team colors. For Nair’s GT, he went with the 2018 race team colors, which include Liquid Red, Frozen White, and Lightning Blue.
