Vehicle Description
This limited-edition Ford GT '66 Heritage Edition celebrates the
1966 Le Mans-winning GT40 Mark II race car piloted by Bruce McLaren
and Chris Amon. As an homage to that historic race car, this 2017
model is finished in Shadow Black paint with silver stripes and
Frozen White No. 2 graphics on the hood and doors. Other touches
reminiscent of the 1966 GT40 include seat belts with unique Ford
Performance Blue webbing, as well as 20-inch one-piece forged
aluminum wheels in a gold satin clear coat with black lug nuts -
echoing those on the original racer. The race-ready GT also
features the exposed carbon-fiber package. Sitting behind the
driver is the 647hp 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine, which
is mated to a 7-speed Getrag dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The GT can launch to 60 mph in under 3 seconds and on to a top
speed of over 216 mph. Stopping power is provided by Brembo
carbon-ceramic brakes, and the car has a push-button activated
front lift system. The carbon-fiber seats are wrapped in Ebony
leather, and the head restraints and leather-wrapped F1-inspired
steering wheel are embossed with the Ford GT logo. The instrument
panel, pillars and headliner also feature an Ebony leather wrap,
with gold appliques on the instrument panel, seats and shift
paddles. This Ford GT '66 Heritage Edition also has a unique
serialized identification plate, the No. 2 interior door graphic,
and exposed matte carbon-fiber door sills, air register pods and
center console. Although professional racing driver Joey Hand did
not drive this particular GT, he did win the 2016 24 Hours of Le
Mans in one - and there is a photograph of him signing the engine
bay of this car. This pristine 2017 Ford GT has just 36 actual
miles.
