The SEMA Show is a platform where ambitious builds meet big crowds, and this year, WD-40 and Throtl are debuting the reimagined Ford GT rebuilt as a racer during the show. The project marks the finale of Throtl’s YouTube series documenting the car’s transformation from wrecked supercar to track-inspired showpiece—all brought back to life with help from WD-40 Brand’s products.

The unveiling is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, at 9:30 a.m., and a meet-and-greet follows at 1 p.m., where the first 150 fans will score a limited-edition Ford GT Leen Customs pin. Throughout the week, visitors can check out the rebuilt Ford GT up close, explore WD-40 Brand’s latest products, and grab exclusive swag like a custom lanyard and Ford GT Precision Pen while supplies last.

“This Ford GT was one of the most challenging, yet rewarding projects our team has taken on,” Evan Beckerman, Throtl co-founder, said. “WD-40 Brand gave us the right tools and products to bring it back, and we’re excited to show the results on the SEMA stage.”

Radical Rebuild

The rebuilt 2005 Ford GT wears a Doran GT2 carbon-fiber body kit and rides on three-piece HRE 305 Classic wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. The stance comes courtesy of Fortune Auto coilovers, while Wilwood big brakes provide the stopping power. It also packs custom 3D-printed headlights, a CSF cooling system, a Vibrant titanium exhaust, Speedhut gauges, and Sparco SPX reclinable seats — combining supercar pedigree with modern precision.

“Watching the Ford GT transform from a wrecked frame into a reimagined race car has been impressive,” said Erin Bala, vice president of U.S. marketing and Americas innovation at WD-40 Company. “It reflects the same problem-solving spirit WD-40 Brand has inspired for more than seven decades.”
