Motorcycles News: Ford celebrates Le Mans history with GT '66 Heritage Edition

Just more than per week following its LM GTE Pro category win at Le Mans 2016, Ford is taking a trip back in time for you to an even bigger win. The all-new 2017 Ford GT '66 Heritage Edition pays homage to Ford's historic 1966 Le Mans victory. This unique edition Ford GT brings a race-inspired look to the streets.

Inspired by the GT40 Mark II driven to victory by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon in 1966, the 'No. 2' 2017 Ford GT wears "shadow black" paint (inside a choice of gloss or matte finish) with silver stripes, "frozen white" #2 graphics around the hood and sides, and an exposed carbon fiber package. The car rides on 20-in one-piece forged aluminum wheels inside a gold satin clear coat.

The Heritage interior has ebony leather around its carbon fiber seats, instrument panel, pillars and headliner; debossed Ford GT logos on the headrests and leather-wrapped steering wheel; exposed matte carbon fiber around the center console, door sills and air register pods; gold appliqués; and blue-webbed seat belts. The "2" appears inside the door, as well as outside, and an identification plate lends authenticity to the distinctive limited edition.

"While the appears are distinctly based on the GT40 Mark II race vehicle, we've accentuated new styling cues to provide a modern interpretation," says Garen Nicoghosian, the exterior style manager for the vehicle.

Ford will offer a restricted quantity of Heritage packages exclusively for the GT's 2017 model year.
