2022 Ford GT

Entering the final year of production, Ford Performance is going deep with its 2022 Ford GT supercar, paying homage to the 1964 Ford GT prototypes that led to America's only Le Mans®-winning supercar, with wins from 1966 to 1969, and again in 2016.
Limited-edition Ford GT '64 Prototype Heritage Edition honors the five original prototypes

As a tribute to the Ford GT supercar, the prototype vehicle that gave life to the program more than a half-century ago, Ford is introducing the 2022 Ford GT '64 Prototype Heritage Edition. The limited-edition vehicle is inspired by the 1964 Ford GT prototype that debuted at the New York International Auto Show on April 3, 1964 and went on to become America's only Le Mans-winning supercar.

The Ford GT '64 Prototype Heritage Edition supercar wears Wimbledon White paint with Antimatter Blue graphics, including an over-the-roof triple racing stripe. Exposed carbon fiber components are prominent, including 20-inch Antimatter Blue-painted carbon fiber wheels, a touch unique to Ford GT, as well as an exposed carbon fiber front splitter, side sills, mirror stalks, engine louvers and rear diffuser finished in gloss. Brembo® brake calipers lacquered in silver with black graphics, plus black lug nuts further modernize the aesthetic.

Carbon fiber carries into the cabin as well, with carbon fiber door sills, lower A-pillars and console, along with matte carbon fiber registers. Lightspeed Blue Alcantara®-wrapped carbon fiber seats feature silver stitching, while seating surfaces and head restraints are embossed with the GT logo. The instrument panel is wrapped in Ebony leather and Lightspeed Blue Alcantara, while pillars and headliner are wrapped in Ebony Alcantara. Antimatter Blue appliqués on the instrument panel, door register bezels and seat X-brace are coordinated with the unique wheels. The steering wheel is finished in Ebony Alcantara with black stitching, while dual-clutch paddle shifters are clear and polished.

Final year of America's Le Mans winning supercar

With only 1,350 Ford GT street cars planned, the third-generation Ford GT remains exclusive and highly exotic. Deliveries of the 2022 final model-year Ford GT is scheduled to begin in January with production wrapping up in late 2022.

In addition, the Ford GT Mk II, a limited-edition, track-only GT co-developed by Ford Performance and Multimatic based on competitive learnings from Ford's successful FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship campaigns also concludes in 2022 with a total of 45 vehicles.

Track-ready and Powered by EcoBoost

With its track-proven 660 horsepower twin-turbocharged, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, plus carbon fiber architecture and body, active aerodynamics and 216 mph top speed – the Ford GT is a racecar that can be driven on the streets. The latest version of the Ford GT's EcoBoost engine features lesson learned from the track-only Ford GT Mk II with a broad torque band and mechanical upgrades that include gallery-cooled pistons and higher-energy ignition coils for maximum power. Furthermore, it integrates engine cooling and airflow lessons to its intercoolers to keep charge air temperatures cooler, preserving peak power for the most strenuous, high-temperature sessions at the track.
