Ford Honors Historic Le Mans Win with Limited Edition Ford GT


If you think the Ford GT isn’t exclusive enough, Ford Performance has just announced that they’re creating a special model that honors the GT40 Mark IV race car driven to victory by the all-American team of Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt at Le Mans in 1967. The car will feature unique interior and exterior color themes, and an exclusive wheel finish.

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.


The interior begins with new leather trimming for the carbon fiber seats, with red accent stitching, which carries over to the steering wheel. The seat belt webbing is now red and the paddle shifters are anodized gray. Satin dark stainless appliqués are used on the instrument panel, door register bezels and x-brace.

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.



Ford will be making the Ford GT ’67 Heritage edition for the 2018 model year in “limited quantities.”

    Do we already have the all-new Ford GT locally?

      Ford Philippines accepted orders for the all-new GT last year. That said, potential owners had to go through the screening process to find out if they were eligible to own a GT.

      From my understanding 1-3 people from the Philippines was selected. I don't know if they pushed through with their purchase though.

      I never knew there was a screening process to see if you are eligible to own one. Sorry newby here, what would those qualifications be?

      Don't ask questions anymore. We all know you can't afford one.

      They never revealed the criteria, but as far as I know, it includes being a capable "brand ambassador" so ownership of the previous Ford GT helped.
