At the upcoming New York Auto Show (from April 15th to 24th, 2022) debuted "wahrscheinlich“ the final special model of the Ford GT super sports car. Because after six years of construction, the mid-engine sports car is actually to be removed from the program at the end of the year. Ford states that up to this point in time they have had a number of at least good 1.500 vehicles want to have produced. And at the current time, vehicles can even still be configured and ordered online. That means the new one too Holman Moody Heritage Edition there is still to buy. And it makes it immediately clear that the special model wants to be seen. And that is due in particular to the striking Painting in the color "Holman Moody Gold" in combination with accents in Heritage Red and Oxford White on the front end. One of the GT1966 racing vehicles for the 40 Hours of Le Mans looked similar in 24. We're talking about the Ford GT40 Mk.II with 7.0L V8 and with Ronnie Bucknum & Dick Hutcherson at the wheel. After 348 laps, the racing car finished third behind the two Shelby GT40s.

And the hinted one also reminds of that Start number 5 on the front, rear wing and doors of the Holman Moody Heritage Edition. Even on the carbon elements The start number is shown on the inside of the doors. But what was Holman Moody actually? At that time, Holman Moody was one of the teams directly from the manufacturer Ford. In cooperation with Shelby American, the GT40, which had been unsuccessful the year before, had been perfected. With technical gimmicks like one Bremsanlage, which could be changed for each wheel as an overall construction in a few simple steps, secured a technical lead over the competition. The vehicle with chassis number P/1016 later finished third at Le Mans and was actually the test car. In January 40, this GT1966 raced more than 265 laps on a race track for eight days at a time and provided important data on the wear and tear of the brake system, the chassis and the tires.
to be seen from next Friday (15.04.2022)
As a test, an experimental automatic transmission was even installed, but it was not used in the race. However, the direction of travel was clearly indicated and should result in the overall victory in Le Mans. And we all know the result! At the New York Auto Show, which begins on Friday, the legendary P/1016 vehicle will be alongside the first example of the current GT in the Holman Moody Heritage Edition. The 2022 Ford GT Holman Moody Heritage Edition pays homage to the company's success at Le Mans in 1966 and to the racing team.
