Motorsports Makeover: Ford GT

Ford Motor Co. pays tribute to the historic 1976 Le Mans winner with this limited-edition supercar.

The 2018 Ford GT is available in a limited edition Heritage theme honoring the GT40 Mark IV racing car once driven by Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt. The American racing team drove the high-performance endurance car to victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1967. The limited edition GT features a gloss-finish race-red exterior, white stripes, a frozen white No. 1 on the hood and doors and 20-inch forged aluminum wheels. Red calipers and a silver rear-view mirror finish the look. The interior design features leather trimming on the carbon fiber seats with red accent stitching. The seat belt webbing is red and the paddle shifters are anodized gray. Satin dark stainless appliqués are used on the instrument panel, door register bezels and the X-brace. This super-sweet ride will impress car lovers and casual admirers alike, if you can get your hands on one.
