WD-40 partners with Throtle to reimagine a Ford GT

WD-40 is teaming up with automotive content creator Throtle to reimagine the Ford GT. The five-part series will premiere on Throtl's YouTube channel, documenting the transformation of a wrecked 2005 Ford GT into a custom-built supercar. The finished car will debut at WD-40's SEMA 2025 booth. 

According to WD-40, the rebuild represents the most ambition between the brand and Throtl, building on three years of partnership including product demonstrations, transforming fans' cars on Throtl's "Dream Build" YouTube series.

A word from from WD-40 and the Throtl team

“Transforming a completely wrecked Ford GT with no manual and no roadmap has been one of the most challenging projects we’ve ever taken on,” said Evan Beckerman, co-founder of Throtl Inc. “This build is a tribute to the fans who have supported us from the beginning. We’re documenting every step and bringing them along as we honor the Ford GT’s legacy, with a modern race car spin we know they’ll love. Partnering with WD-40 Brand has made it possible to push the build even further, giving us an opportunity to show fans how the right tools and products can take a project to the next level.”  

“This Ford GT build is WD-40 Brand’s first custom car build with an influencer partner,” said Erin Bala, vice president of U.S. marketing and Americas innovation at WD-40 Company. “Partnering with Throtl allows us to combine their hands-on expertise with our heritage of repairing and restoring. Bringing this American classic back to life, from a wrecked shell to a show-stopping supercar debuting at SEMA and participating in races across the U.S., embodies what WD-40 Brand is all about.”
