The second-generation Ford GT, drawing inspiration from the legendary GT40, was initially crafted for motorsport before being modified into a street-legal supercar. Its re-entry into competitive racing was highlighted by a double-podium achievement at the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, commemorating 50 years since the GT40’s remarkable victory.
Boasting a design that elegantly merges aerodynamics with visual appeal, the Ford GT debuted with a 647-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine. By 2020, enhancements increased its output to 660 horsepower, alongside improved torque, upgraded pistons, and a titanium Akrapović exhaust system.
In tribute to Alan Mann Racing, an essential contributor to the GT40’s achievements in the 1960s, Ford introduced a limited run of 30 Alan Mann Heritage Edition GTs. These exclusive versions feature a striking red and gold paint scheme, complemented by carbon fiber components, 20-inch wheels, and Brembo brakes. The interior is adorned with carbon fiber and Ebony Alcantara, featuring red and gold stitching as a salute to the vehicle’s racing heritage. Unique touches include red paddle shifters and a personalized roundel specific to Alan Mann.
The 2022 Ford GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition is one of only 30 units produced, created to honor the lightweight 1966 GT40 experimental race cars developed by Alan Mann Racing. This specific model was ordered through Pat Milliken Ford located in Redford, Michigan, and is currently listed for sale on Bring A Trailer, boasting a mere 13 miles on the odometer.
This vehicle sports a striking Alan Mann Red finish with gold and Frozen White stripes, complemented by #16 roundels. Its interior is adorned with Ebony Alcantara, featuring gold and red stitching. The car is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, producing 660 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Among its additional features are the Gloss Exterior Carbon-Fiber Package, 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels, six-point harness anchorage, red paddle shifters, an Akrapovič titanium exhaust system, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, and a retractable rear wing. It also includes Sparco seats and a comprehensive touchscreen infotainment system.
