Ford GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition Pays Tribute to 1966 Race Cars
The 2022 Ford GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition pays tribute to Alan Mann Racing’s lightweight 1966 Ford GT experimental race cars. It features limited-edition livery with Alan Mann Racing’s signature red and gold exterior along with contemporary touches of exposed carbon fiber and Frozen White accents. It will be on display at the 2022 Chicago Auto Show alongside the 1966 Ford AM GT-1 prototype.
Exterior
In addition to wearing unique Alan Mann red exterior paint with gold graphics, this limited-edition Ford GT includes a dual over-the-roof racing stripe, Frozen White signature accent stripes and roundels with No. 16 on the doors, hood and underside of the rear wing.
Exposed gloss carbon fiber components are prominent, including on the 20-inch wheels, front splitter, side sills, mirrors, engine louvers and rear diffuser. Brembo® brake calipers lacquered in black with red graphics, plus black lug nuts further modernize the aesthetic.
Interior
Carbon fiber carries into the cabin of the Ford GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition, appearing on door sills, console and registers. Ebony Alcantara®-wrapped carbon fiber seats feature gold and red accent stitching, while embossed seating surfaces and head restraints carry the GT logo. The instrument panel is wrapped in Ebony leather and Alcantara, while pillars and headliner are wrapped in Ebony Alcantara.
Gold appliqués on the instrument panel, door register bezels and seat X-brace are paired with the matte carbon fiber registers, door sills, lower A-pillars and console. Lastly, the steering wheel is finished in Ebony Alcantara with black stitching, while dual-clutch paddle shifters are finished in exterior-matching Alan Mann red.
Ford GT Racing
The 2022 Ford GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition pays tribute to Alan Mann Racing and the support the team provided from England in 1965. Lessons learned from Alan Mann Racing improved the capabilities of the Ford GT40 and led to its third- and fourth-fastest times in the 1966 Le Mans trials.
Ultimately, the Le Mans committee chose to run the heavier and more powerful 7.0-liter V8 race cars for the rest of the 1966 season, which culminated in a 1-2-3 podium sweep for Ford at Le Mans, ending the run of the English team’s lightweight version.
