Ford GT Heritage Edition Prototype (AUTOart) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
The Ford GT Heritage Edition Prototype was built to compete at the highest level of its class, where the gap between winning and losing is measured in fractions of a second per lap compounded over race distance. Motorsport at this level demands a combination of aerodynamic efficiency, mechanical reliability, and setup precision that requires extensive development and ongoing refinement throughout a competitive season. The regulations of its class defined the engineering boundaries, and the development program pushed those boundaries to their maximum within the rules. Drivers operating this car were operating machinery calibrated specifically for the demands of the series and circuit characteristics where it competed.
The AUTOart 1:18 scale diecast model SKU 72926 reproduces this competition car with the accuracy and surface detail that AUTOart is known for among serious collectors. Race livery, number graphics, and sponsor markings are applied with precision that honors the original car's visual identity on track. Aerodynamic components — wings, diffusers, splitters, and air management elements — are correctly formed and positioned as they appeared in competition. The cockpit detail and safety equipment are accurately represented, reflecting the mechanical environment of professional motorsport rather than a stylized approximation. The AUTOart Ford GT Heritage Edition Prototype is a collector-grade reference to competitive machinery, preserved with the commitment to accuracy that distinguishes AUTOart models.

The Ford GT40 was built for one purpose: to beat Ferrari at Le Mans. After losing a bid to purchase Ferrari in 1963, Henry Ford II ordered the creation of a purpose-built racing car. The GT40 won Le Mans four consecutive times from 1966 to 1969. The 2005 Ford GT was a centennial tribute to the original, using a supercharged 5.4L V8 producing 550 horsepower. Both generations are considered among the most significant American sports cars ever made.
This 1/18 scale replica of the Ford Gt is produced by AUTOart to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
