Ford returns to NYIAS with 2022 Ford GT Holman Moody Edition

Ford’s return to the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) will be marked by the Blue Oval brand’s newest GT Heritage Edition which pays homage to the original Ford GT40 prototype at the 1964 NYIAS — the 2022 Ford GT Holman Moody Edition.

Ford adds that the Holman Moody GT will be the final 2022 Heritage Edition to pay tribute to the GT40 MK II race car that completed the famous 1-2-3 sweep at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966. The Holman Moody team has played a vital role in the success of the Ford GT40. The race team became a part of Ford’s Le Mans committee alongside Shelby American and reworked GT40 MK II.

“Of all the Ford GT Heritage Edition liveries we’ve done, the Holman Moody Heritage Edition’s can’t-miss signature gold and red theme is an epic tribute to our 1966 Le Mans finish. Inspired by one of the most well-known Ford GT40 race cars, this latest Ford GT honors the Holman Moody race team’s know-how and ability to out-innovate global competitors,” said Ford GT Program Manager Mike Severson.

The 2022 Ford GT Holman Moody Heritage Edition features unique gold and red livery as well as signature Oxford White roundels with No. 5 stamped on the doors, hood, and rear wing. The exterior also showcases exposed gloss carbon fiber components including the front splitter, side sills, mirrors, engine louvers, rear diffuser, and its 20-inch wheels. Adding to its appeal are black Brembo brake calipers with silver graphics and black lug nuts.

Inside are more carbon fiber trims on the door sills, console, and registers. Ebony Alcantara-wrapped carbon fiber seats feature gold accent stitching while embossed seating surfaces and head restraints carry a debossed GT logo. Ebony leather and Ebony Alcantara are used for the finishing of the instrument panel while its while pillars and headliner are wrapped exclusively in Ebony Alcantara.

Furthermore, the instrument panel, door register bezels, and seat X-brace feature gold trims while the registers, door sills, lower A-pillars, and console feature matte carbon fiber trims. The steering wheel is finished in Ebony Alcantara with black stitching, while dual-clutch paddle shifters are finished in exterior-matching Holman Moody Gold.

The interior also features a cleaver matte No. 5 roundel on the door panels.

The ultra-limited-production GT Holman Moody Edition supercar will be on display at the 2022 New York International Auto Show side-by-side with the podium-placing Holman Moody Ford GT40 MK II, chassis No. P/1016.

It will join other Heritage models which include the 2022 Ford GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition, 2022 Ford GT ’64 Prototype Heritage Edition, 2021 Ford GT ’66 Daytona Heritage Edition, 2020 Ford GT ’69 Gulf Livery Heritage Edition, 2019 Ford GT ’68 Gulf Livery Heritage Edition, 2018 Ford GT ’67 Heritage Edition, 2017 Ford GT ’66 Heritage Edition, and the 2006 Ford GT Gulf Livery Heritage Edition.

The 2022 Ford GT Holman Moody Heritage Edition is available for approved Ford GT customers, with the first deliveries taking place in the US this spring (from March to June).
