With some buyers, owning
a supercar that's not a limited edition model is just not good business. This
is where the '66 Heritage Edition Ford GT factors in, as it's aimed at those
who want something that's even more exclusive than the regular all-new GT
supercar.
This car right here was built in honor of the
classic GT40 Mark II driven by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon during the 1966 Le
Mans race over 50 years ago. Visually, what separates it from its
regular-production sibling is the Shadow Black exterior finish, for starters.
You can get it in both gloss or matte, with the latter being on display in
Geneva.
Other features include the silver stripes, exposed
carbon fiber package, the Frozen White #2 bonnet and door graphics, and the
one-piece forged aluminum wheels, measuring 20" in size.
Inside, it's got even more #2 graphics (on
the doors), exposed matte carbon here and there, Ebony leather-wrapped carbon
fiber seats, pillars and headliner, unique blue webbing seat belts and gold
appliqués on the instrument panel.
Only a limited number of Ford GT '66 Heritage
Edition models will be available this year, and this year alone.
