“In creating a worthy successor to the 2017 Heritage edition, we logically looked at our next historic Le Mans victory with the all-American team of Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt,” said Dave Pericak, global director Ford Performance. “The 2018 Ford GT ’67 Heritage edition pays homage to that win, with a modern take on one of the most important vehicles in Ford’s storied history of racing.”

The Ford GT ’67 Heritage edition features a
gloss-finish Race Red exterior with white stripes and exposed carbon
package. The car sports Frozen White No. 1 hood and door graphics, and
20-inch one-piece forged aluminum wheels in silver satin clearcoat with
black lug nuts. Red calipers and silver rearview mirror caps complete the
look.
Rounding out modifications to the ’67 Heritage edition car are a unique serialized identification plate, plus exposed matte carbon fiber door sills, air register pods and center console.
“The first Heritage edition car was a huge success,
honoring our history with a modern interpretation of the Le Mans winner,”
said Garen Nicoghosian, exterior design manager for the car. “Continuing
with a 2018 Ford GT based on the winning GT40 Mark IV race car was simply
something we needed to do.” |
