Ford GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition unveiled
Ford’s latest GT Heritage Edition is a homage to the AM GT-1 prototype created by Alan Mann Racing in 1966.
Based on a Ford GT Mk. I, the AM GT-1 was built to experiment with lightweight materials. Much of the work done influenced developments that Ford later applied to its factory racing cars.
Naturally, the 2022 model wears a red, gold and white colour scheme inspired by the well-known Alan Mann Racing livery. There are numerous exposed carbon fibre components too, including the front splitter, 20” wheels, side sills, engine louvres and rear diffuser.
Inside, Ebony Alcantara covers the seats, steering wheel and headlining. Contrast is provided by gold and red stitching, plus some subtle gold inlays. As a finishing touch, the transmission paddle shifters get a red finish.
The Ford GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition will be on public display later this month at the Chicago Auto Show, alongside the 1966 Ford AM GT-1 prototype.
Deliveries to “approved” customers are expected to begin before the end of March 2022.
