Ford’s Final GT: Limited‑Edition Carbon‑Fiber Supercar Honors 1964 Le Mans Triumph

Ford’s legendary GT is set to leave the showroom floor, but the brand is ensuring its final chapter is nothing short of spectacular. The newly unveiled limited‑edition carbon‑fiber GT pays homage to the 1964 prototype that first made Ford’s name synonymous with Le Mans glory, delivering a head‑turning design that blends heritage with cutting‑edge performance.

Ford GT Supercar – A New Take on a Classic

1. How It Came To Be

Ford is bidding farewell to the GT with a tribute that mirrors its storied past. The 2022 GT "64 Prototype Heritage Edition" echoes the original 1964 prototypes that launched the GT40 program, the only American‑made car to win the 24‑hour Le Mans race.

While the 2017 GT first honored Ford’s Le Mans victories, this latest model marks the brand’s final production run. It showcases the same iconic silhouette while introducing modern materials and a fresh aesthetic.

2. The Carbon‑Fiber Ford GT Supercar

Designed to turn heads, the prototype features a sleeker roof‑stripe and a striking Wimbledon Whitecoat with Antimatter Blue accents. Its most notable upgrade is the all‑new carbon‑fiber “armor” – a front splitter, side sills, and mirror stalk finished in a uniform blue tone.

Wheel styling continues the theme with exclusive carbon‑fiber rims, silver‑and‑black Brembo calipers, and black lug nuts. Inside, the cockpit remains intensely race‑centric: a fixed driver’s seat paired with height‑adjustable steering wheel and pedals, and a suede‑wrapped dashboard that houses a digital infotainment display.

3. Power & Performance

Moving beyond the previous generation’s supercharged V‑8, the new GT is powered by a twin‑turbocharged 3.5‑liter V‑6 engine identical to that found in the Ford F‑150 Raptor. The powertrain delivers 660 horsepower and 550 lb‑ft of torque, paired with a seven‑speed dual‑clutch automatic transmission.

Despite its robust output, the GT feels light and nimble, offering super‑car‑class acceleration in a package that remains surprisingly approachable for seasoned drivers.
