Ford is holding on to the nostalgia of his 56-year-old Le Mans victory. with a new limited edition GT Heritage Edition. The GT will be on display at the New York auto show next week alongside one of the Holman Moody Ford GT40 Mk IIs that won the top three spots in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966. Ferrari won’t have a booth. at this year’s show in New York, so the best thing you can do to relive the historic race is movie 2019 Ford and Ferrari.
Ford debuted its original Ford GT40 prototype at the New York show in 1964, so it’s fitting that the 2022 Ford GT Holman Moody Edition will make its public debut at this year’s show. It will provide plenty of visual cues to guide racing fans back to 1966. The most obvious are the exclusive Holman Moody Gold yellow and red, accented by Oxford White circles displaying the number of years on the top. doors, hood and rear wing.
The new GT of course has many touches that might not have been available on the 1966 model, such as “outstanding” glossy carbon fiber components and Ebony Alcantara-upholstered carbon fiber seats with gold stitching. You’ll be able to see some exposed carbon fiber on the 20-inch wheels, front splitter, side sills, mirrors, engine air vents and rear diffuser, says Ford. Other touches that link Ford’s 2022 car with the one from 1966 includes a translucent circle displaying the year number and made of carbon fiber on the door panels. Alcantara ebony can also be found on the pillars, headboard and steering wheel.
Sitting in the driver’s seat only underscores the new version’s connection to the 1966 winners, as there are dual-clutch paddle shifters behind the steering wheel that match the Holman Moody yellow exterior. There are also gold embellishments found throughout the interior, on the dashboard and the X-brace of the seats, among other places.
Mike Severson, Ford GT program manager, said: “Of all the Ford GT Heritage Edition showcases we’ve done, Holman Moody Heritage Edition’s signature red and yellow theme is not to be missed. a monumental tribute to the end of our 1966 Le Mans,” said Mike Severson, Ford GT program manager. in a statement. “Inspired by one of the most famous Ford GT40 race cars, this latest Ford GT celebrates the know-how and innovation of the Holman Moody racing team to stay ahead of global competitors.”
The Holman Moody GT will be the ninth in the Heritage Edition GT line, which began in 2006 but then went on hiatus until 2017. Since then, Ford has produced at least one Heritage Edition GT per year, with two of them. the most recent is 2022. (the Alan Mann Heritage Edition and Heritage Edition Prototype ’64) is still in production.
Ford says the Holman Moody Edition will be the final Heritage Edition for the 2022 model year and it will only be offered in “extremely limited” quantities. If that sounds appealing, know that Ford will only take orders from approved Ford GT customers, and they can expect to receive three specially painted vehicles later this spring.
