It’s true that the 2022 Ford GTÂ isn’t exactly the latest fastest, fastest expensive, or rarest car that drives through Highway 1 in California. Highway 1 during Monterey Car Week. However, judging by the crowd’s reaction, you wouldn’t know. It’s a stunning car that is greeted with elbows, slaps, and “Dude takes a look” everywhere you go. The only person smiling more than the crowd of people watching is me.
What’s New for 2022 Ford GT?
This year’s 2022 Ford GT is notable because it will be the final model year for the race car that is limited production. To say goodbye to the amazing vehicle launched in 2017 and give a further tribute to the original five GT prototypes that helped create those who became Le Man’s winners, Ford presents the 2022 GT Prototype Heritage Edition ’64.
Its livery is intended to resemble the original GT/101 version; this special edition is outfitted with Wimbledon White paint and a number of Antimatter Blue exterior details.
They extend beyond the racing stripe on the roof and a twenty-inch carbon-fiber wheel. Inside, the carbon-fiber seats, as well as parts that make up the dashboard, have been covered with Lightspeed Blue microsuede to go with the same kind of material, with the exception of black for the wheel as well headliner.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance of 2022 Ford GT
In 2022 Ford GT would continue deriving its power from the 3.5-liter dual-turbo V6. Coupled with a 7-speed dual-clutch automated system, this engine can produce an incredible 660 horsepower and 555 pounds of torque.
An option for manual shifting paddle-shifters, as well as the Akrapovic Titanium exhaust, further amplifies the engine’s roar and vivacity. Its twin-turbo V6 in the GT might not seem as powerful as its competitors’ V12 and V8’s; however, that’s not the situation.
You’ll be behind the wheel of this monster, and the GT is a car that has all the power and can take on anything ahead of it. What makes the powertrain’s capabilities on the GT is the super-efficient aerodynamics enclosed in a carbon-light body.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG of 2022 Ford GT
Conserving fossil fuels is the least important factor in the world of hypercars. But this 2022 Ford GT is one of the most efficient models. Its EPA estimates it’ll get 12 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway.
Compare this to gas-guzzlers such as Bugatti Chiron (9/15 mpg city/highway) and the Lamborghini Aventador (9/14 mpg city/highway). Also, it’s indeed true that the Ford has six fewer cylinders than Lambo and 10 less as the Bugatti.
Because we haven’t tried the high-end vehicles on our 75-mph fuel-economy method, which hasn’t been a part of our complete test program and therefore, we are unable to test their mpg in the real world.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo of 2022 Ford GT
The interior of the car is also striking, however, for a different reason: It’s highly minimalist and driver-centric, with nearly all controls confined to the steering wheel that’s reminiscent of race cars.
It’s a bit difficult to get inside; however, once inside, you’ll find that the seat for the driver isn’t adjustable. It’s because Ford created the pedals and steering wheel to adjust to the seat of the driver.
Their fixed seating. The gauge cluster appears like it was taken straight from the 2022 Ford GT race car, and a second digital display is incorporated inside the suede-wrapped dashboard. It manages the infotainment functions.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features of 2022 Ford GT
The 2022 Ford GT is a low-volume, ultra-high-performance model, so it’s not crash-tested by either agency that conducts these evaluations. Additionally, it doesn’t include one feature of driver-assistance technologies, typically integrated into modern automobiles for consumers.

- The limited warranty is valid for 3 years of coverage and is void mileage
