Ford has revealed the final Heritage Edition GT – the Holman Moody Edition. Based on the Holman Moody MkII GT40 from 1966, the special edition celebrates the carmaker's iconic 1-2-3 finish at the '66 Le Mans. To that end, the GT40 is dressed in a gold and red livery in a throwback to the racecar along with featuring the number 5 on the doors, bonnet and rear spoiler. The special edition is the eighth Heritage edition based on the new GT and the third celebrating the MkII GT40.
As mentioned previously, the Homan Moody Edition wears the gold and red livery derived from the historic 1966 racecar. “Of all the Ford GT Heritage Edition liveries we've done, the Holman Moody Heritage Edition's can't-miss signature gold and red theme is an epic tribute to our 1966 Le Mans finish,” said Mike Severson, Ford GT program manager. “Inspired by one of the most well-known Ford GT40 race cars, this latest Ford GT honours the Holman Moody race team's know-how and ability to out-innovate global competitors.”

The cabin meanwhile too features the use of carbon fibre on the door sills and centre console. The seats and steering are upholstered in Alcantara while details such as the paddle shifters, instrument panel applique and seat cross braces are finished in gold.
