2022 Ford GT Holman Moody Heritage Edition

Through two generations of the GT model, Ford has presented special editions of the supersport two-seater as many as eight times, recalling the day when, in the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans, the dominance of the invincible Ferrari was finally stopped. Now Ford has prepared a GT Holman Moody Heritage Edition based on a model from the 60s.

With the ninth special edition, the Holman Moody Heritage Edition, Ford pays tribute to the Ford GT40 Mk.II which, with third place in 1966, secured Ford the title in 24 Hours of Le Mans. The drivers were Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson.

The car comes in original colors with start number 5 and red details. The GT Holman Moody Heritage Edition will have its premiere on April 15 at the New York Auto Show.

Ford has not revealed how many copies will be produced, but according to previous special models, that number should not exceed 50.

Ford GT Has Come To An End

Production of the Ford GT has come to an end. After half a century, Ford has returned to 24 Hours of Le Mans with the latest example of the second generation Ford GT whose production began in December 2016. The racing version, Ford’s long-hidden project, won first and third place in the LMGTE Pro class in the prestigious race that same year.

The latest generation is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine with 660 hp (485 kW) and 550 lb-ft (746 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in just 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (350 km / h).

The Canadian company Multimatic will make the last 250 examples of this model by the end of this year. Part of the total production is seven special editions, five of which are reminiscent of Ford’s success at Le Mans in the 1960s. Thus, after six years, Ford will close the story of the supersport carbon two-seater, whose total production will eventually amount to the previously planned 1,350 units.
