Introduction to the Ford GT
The Ford GT is the only American supercar that has triumphed at the Le Mans race. To honor this victory that solidified its place in high-performance vehicles, Ford has unveiled the "GT Heritage" model, inspired by the original car that won the Daytona 24 Hours in 1966.
Design of the Ford GT Heritage
The "GT Heritage" features the "GT Studio Collection" graphics package, offering customers exclusive design touches that enhance its uniqueness.
Director's Statement
On this occasion, Mike Severson, the Ford GT program director, stated:
“In designing the 'GT Heritage' version, Ford's performance vehicle team delved into the history of the 'Ford GT' in one of the most prestigious races to create a limited edition model celebrating the 55th anniversary of the car’s victory at the Daytona 24 Hours, which eventually led to our success at Le Mans. For customers eager to showcase the carbon fiber body and high-efficiency cooling vents that contributed to its historic Le Mans win, the 'GT Studio Collection' package provides supercar enthusiasts with a chance to customize their vehicles in a completely new way.”
