2017 Ford GT '66 Heritage Edition to commemorate 1966 Le Mans win

The all new 2017 Ford GT will be available in a limited edition Heritage theme honouring the GT40 Mark II 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 colour themes, and an exclusive wheel finish. 

"Celebrating the anniversary of Ford's historic victories at Le Mans has always been a part of the return of the Ford GT," said Raj Nair, Ford Executive Vice President, Product Development, and Chief Technical Officer. "The 2017 Ford GT '66 Heritage Edition is a stunning tribute to the car that kicked off Ford's string of Le Mans victories in 1966." 

The Ford GT '66 Heritage Edition features a Shadow Black exterior in either gloss or matte finish with silver stripes and exposed carbon fibre package. The car sports Frozen White #2 hood and door graphics, and 20-inch one piece forged aluminium wheels in a gold satin clear coat with black lug nuts.

The interior of the limited edition model wraps the Ford GT carbon fibre seats in Ebony leather, with pillowed inserts and plow-through stitching, and the seats' head restraints and the steering wheel are debossed with the Ford GT logo. The instrument panel, pillars and headliner also features an Ebony-leather wrap, with gold appliques 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 a unique blue webbing.
