Ford GT. Reminiscent of Ford's iconic GT40, which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times in a row (1966–1969).

"Ford GT Heritage Edition celebrates Le Mans victories in iconic Gulf colours (9.9.2018).

The Gulf colours and the Ford GT hardly need any further introduction to those familiar with motorsport.

Apparently Ford had realised that the 50th anniversary of both the 1968 and 1969 Le Mans victories was approaching. The victories achieved with the iconic GT40 threw Ferrari into turmoil, as if in revenge for Ford and Enzo Ferrari's failed business plans.

In 2018, the wins will be celebrated with a special edition of the current Ford GT, as the Heritage Edition will be decked out in the ever-so-trendy Gulf colors. The oil company’s blue and orange will be seen in production for two years, with the 2019 cars sporting the race number 9 and the 2020 cars sporting the No. 6 graphics."
