Ford has debuted a new limited edition GT LM Edition to commemorate its victory at the 2016 Le Mans and honour the original GT40’s legacy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. 2022 is the final year of production for the Ford GT and the LM Edition is the last hurrah of the second-generation supercar. 

New Ford GT LM specs and features 

The new Ford GT LM sports a Liquid Silver paint shade and can be had with red or blue-themed exterior accents, similar to the red and blue racing livery of the racer. Aerodynamic components such as the front splitter, rear diffuser, side sills and door sills are carbon-fibre components with a tinted red or blue hue. 

Ford’s limited edition supercar also gets 20-inch carbon-fibre wheels with red or blue inner rim accents with black Brembo brake callipers and lug nuts. 

It’s powered by the same 660PS 3.5-litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine as the standard supercar, with titanium dual exhausts that feature a cyclonic inner design.

Inside, the LM Edition gets carbon-fibre seats with Alcantara upholstery and a matching red or blue-coloured driver's seat. The instrument panel features a special edition badge that’s 3D-printed from the ground-up crankshaft of the 2016 Le Mans-winning race car. 

Iconic special edition honours racing legacy 

The Ford GT LM Edition honours the legacy of the ‘Number 68’ race car that won the 2016 Le Mans 24 Hours at the hands of Sebastian Bourdais, Joey Hand and Dirk Muller. The Number 69 race car also achieved the podium position finishing third; the fourth and ninth placers were Ford GTs as well.
