Ford has recently announced that it is going to celebrate the company’s history at the Le Mans 24 Hour race. Ford is planning to bring five special edition Ford Focus RS models to commemorate its winning history and success in the 1960s and 1970s at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Each Ford Focus RS will be seen in a unique paint job distinguishing the historic races.

The Focus RS in black with white stripes and gold rims stands for the 1966 GT40 Mk II. The red one with white strips marks the 1967 Mark IV. The white colored Focus RS with blue centre stripe surrounded by a red border was the insignia of the Mk IIBFrance special edition in the 1967 race.

Then comes the two-tone blue and orange car, which is a replica of the dominantGT40s of 1968 and 1969. The last one is the white and blue Focus RS that mimics the Capri RS 2600 which took the Touring category in 1972.

Each car comes with customized interiors that include Recaro racing seats with stitching matching the exterior. All cars will also have a gearshift gaiter, handbrake handle and central armrest in leather.

These cars will race at the 2010 Le Mans Classic.
