Ford Gives a Full Look at the GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition
Sporting the red and gold livery.
Ford has just unveiled a new Heritage Edtion GT paying homage to Alan Mann Racing’s lightweight 1966 Ford GT experimental race car.
“Whether it’s going like hell at the racetrack or out-innovating the competition, the Ford GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition honors the vehicles that helped lead Ford to its wins,” said Mike Severson, Ford GT program manager. “With its red and gold livery, this Ford GT is inspired by Alan Mann Racing’s contribution to our Le Mans-winning story.”
On top of the red and gold livery with the No. 16 on the doors, hood, and rear wing, this supercar also features exposed carbon fiber, 20-inch wheels, a front splitter, side sills, engine louvers, and a distinct rear diffuser. Other cosmetic enhancements arrive in the form of Ebony Alcantara-wrapped carbon fiber seats, gold appliqués on the X-brace, Alan Mann red dual-clutch paddle shifters, and Brembo brake calipers lacquered in black with red graphics.
“It’s a great honor for Alan Mann Racing and the Mann family to celebrate the epic motorsports heritage of Ford GT with this fantastic limited-edition car,” said Henry Mann, director, Alan Mann Racing Ltd. “To see the red and gold colors of our team’s livery come back to life, and to debut this new GT alongside one of our original GT40s in Chicago, will be a magical occasion.”
