Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso was recently spotted driving his Ford GT Heritage Edition in Monaco. The 2-time World Champion was seen with his former manager Flavio Briatore outside a restaurant.
The Heritage Edition was introduced in 2020 as a tribute to the GT40’s victory at the 1966 Daytona 24-Hour Continental race. It is finished in the same livery as the Daytona-winning GT40. It has a black hood and stripes, red patches and the No. 98 on the sides. It is available with either a set of Heritage Gold 20-inch one-piece forged aluminium or carbon fibre wheels if you tick the Heritage Upgrade Package option. The interior is wrapped in Alcantara.
Alonso’s Ford GT Heritage Edition, though, has a gold exterior with red highlights and the no. 5 roundel on the front and sides.
The Heritage Edition is powered by the same 3.5-liter, twin-turbo V6 engine as the standard GT. It produces 660 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Ford claims the GT can hit 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 217 mph.
