Ford took the wraps off the 2018 GT ’67 Heritage Edition at last year’s Monterey Car Week – and Hennessey Performance has just taken delivery of a brand-new example.
The vehicle pays homage to the firm’s 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans victory and is finished in Race Red along with white stripes and Frozen White No.1 graphics on the hood and doors. Additionally, it features 20-inch one-piece forged aluminum wheels, red brake calipers, silver wing mirror caps and can be optioned with an exposed carbon fiber package.

It remains to be seen what John Hennessey has in store for his new $500,000 supercar. He may choose to keep it stock and drive it as is, viewing it as an investment and an important collector’s item.
That being said, the Texas-based tuner is no stranger to modifying some of the planet’s most brutal performance cars and may have some exciting plans for this particular GT.
Either way, we have a hunch that we will see more of this special GT in the coming months.
