Thought the GT was done? Here's one more special edition.
and you probably did, too. However, Ford announced that a final version of the GT is coming, the last of a steady stream of special-edition model and a celebration of the brand's 1966 and 2016 podium finishes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Thus, this GT is aptly named the 2022 Ford GT LM Edition, as in"Le Mans." The car itself is inspired by the 2016 winning car with its choice of color schemes while the third-place finishing GT from '16 will be quite literally baked into it.
Even if you wanted to improve the GT's looks, well, the car wears such an iconic shape that there's little need to fiddle there, either. Ford instead employs the 2016 Le Mans-winning GT's livery on the LM Edition, inside and out. First, the all-carbon-fiber body is slathered in Liquid Silver exterior paint.
With only 20 2022 Ford GT LM Editions being made, those models will end up not only being the final run of the Ford GT but also the final resting places for the crankshaft of the 2016 third-place-finishing GT, car no. 69 driven by Ryan Briscoe, Scott Dixon, and Richard Westbrook. As part of a unique interior treatment using 3D printing elements, the badges of the Ford GT LM Editions will be 3D-printed from ground-down shavings of that podium-finishing GT's engine crankshaft.
