Ford GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition teased

An additional Ford GT Heritage Edition is on the way, with the carmarker teasing a new version inspired by Alan Mann Racing.

The red, white, and gold supercar has been developed to pay homage to a pair of experimental race cars built by Alan Mann’s team in 1966 – which helped to create the winning formula for the GT 40 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

His crew was also successful in the 1965 European Touring Car Championship and placed second at the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally.

With the MkII GT 40 used at Le Mans instead, the prototype cars were never raced directly by Ford, but featured lightweight panels and additional modifications.

Teased by Ford Performance in a pair of social media posts, the images showcase a gold strip running across the bonnet and rear wing – and likely the roof too. In an identical fashion to the historic racers, there are also a set of white stripes surrounding the gold hues.

It is currently unknown if Ford has made any modifications to the modern vehicle, however efforts to reduce the weight of the GT could be seen.

The latest GT model comes just months before production of the reborn supercar is set to end, with the nameplate bowing out in 2022 for a second time.

More information surrounding the Ford GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition is expected in the coming weeks, with these images suggesting an unveiling of the special model is imminent.
