In the 24-hour 1966 Le Mans race, Ford famously swept the contest, claiming all three podium positions. The unprecedented victories reestablished respect for the American automotive industry which was long dominated by its Italian competitors. The story later served as inspiration for the 2019 film Ford v. Ferrari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ford GT Holman Moody Edition in focus is inspired by the livery of the gold GT40 MK II race car that placed third in the \u201866 Le Mans race driven by American duo Ronnie Bucknum and Dirk Hutcherson. Exteriors feature exclusive Holman Moody Gold paint, contemporary carbon fiber touches, Brembo\u00ae brake calipers, \u201cHeritage Red\u201d accents, and \u201cOxford White No.5 \u201croundels. Cabin interiors are finished in carbon fiber and gold appliqu\u00e9s with ebony Alcantra\u00ae fabrics spread across the steering wheel, pillars, headliner, and seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf all the Ford GT Heritage Edition liveries we\u2019ve done, the Holman Moody Heritage Edition\u2019s can\u2019t-miss signature gold and red theme is an epic tribute to our 1966 Le Mans finish,\u201d said Ford GT program manager, Mike Severson in a press release. \u201cInspired by one of the most well-known Ford GT40 race cars, this latest Ford GT honors the Holman Moody race team\u2019s know-how and ability to out-innovate global competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Holman Moody and Shelby American teams were tasked with reimagining the GT 40 MK II for the Le Mans race and were the main contributors to the success of the history-making racecar as they tweaked everything from the brakes, suspension, and tire setups to designing a new experimental automatic transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis spirit of innovation continues today, with the 2022 Ford GT\u2019s track-capable hardware, paddle-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and carbon fiber body,\u201d Ford said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GT Holman Moody Heritage Edition will make its first public appearance on April 15 at the 2022 New York International Auto Show alongside the 1966 Ford GT40 MKII. First deliveries for approved Ford GT customers begin this spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
