Ford Motors introduced the all-new 2017 Ford GT in a limited edition heritage theme honoring the GT40 Mark II which was driven to victory by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon at Le Mans in 1966 – part of the historic 1-2-3 Ford GT sweep. The car will feature unique interior and exterior color themes, and an exclusive wheel finish. The 2017 Ford GT ’66 Heritage Edition is a stunning tribute to the car that kicked off Ford’s string of Le Mans.
The Ford GT ’66 Heritage Edition features a Shadow Black exterior in either gloss or matte finish with silver stripes and exposed carbon fiber package. The car sports Frozen White #2 hood and door graphics, and 20-inch one-piece forged aluminum wheels in a gold satin clear coat with black lug nuts.
The interior of the limited edition model wraps the Ford GT carbon fiber seats in Ebony leather, with pillowed inserts and plow-through stitching, and the seats’ head restraints and the steering wheel are de-bossed with the Ford GT logo. The instrument panel, pillars and headliner also features an Ebony-leather wrap, with gold appliqués on the instrument panel, the seat’s X-brace and shift paddles.
Like the 1966 race car, the steering wheel is leather wrapped, with seat belts featuring unique blue webbing. Rounding out the modifications to the Ford GT ’66 Heritage Edition are a distinctive serialized identification plate, the #2 interior door graphic, and exposed matte carbon fiber door sills, air register pods and center console. Limited quantities will be available for the 2017 model year only.
