Alonso’s Monaco Flex: Gold GT Heritage Edition Turns Heads
Fernando Alonso doesn’t need another trophy to prove his racing pedigree.
His garage speaks volumes.
When F1 Royalty Meets American Muscle
Monaco’s streets recently played host to Alonso’s latest four-wheeled statement – a gold Ford GT Heritage Edition that makes the principality’s usual parade of supercars look positively pedestrian.
The two-time F1 world champion’s GT isn’t just rare. It’s borderline unobtainable.
His particular spec features distinctive red accents and the No. 5 roundel emblazoned on its flanks – a nod to racing heritage that only a true motorsport devotee would appreciate.

Behind that gold exterior lurks Ford’s most potent production powertrain:
- 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 delivering a savage 660HP
- 0-60 mph disappears in approximately 2.8 seconds
- Carbon fiber construction keeping weight ruthlessly minimal
- Aerodynamics honed through actual race development, not marketing meetings
Most Heritage Edition GTs wear the traditional black hood, racing stripes, and number 98 livery.
Alonso’s car breaks tradition. Like its owner.
Monaco’s Perfect Backdrop
The principality’s winding streets offer the perfect canvas for Alonso’s golden masterpiece.
Monaco and motorsport share DNA. The same could be said for Alonso and his car collection.
While most F1 drivers collect supercars like trading cards, Alonso’s selections reveal a deeper appreciation for automotive history and engineering excellence.
The Ford GT represents Detroit’s middle finger to Ferrari at Le Mans – a history lesson Alonso, with his Ferrari F1 stint, appreciates better than most.
His gold GT isn’t just transportation. It’s a 660-horsepower statement piece that bridges American muscle and European racing sophistication.
The car demands attention even in Monaco – a place where automotive exotica is as common as designer sunglasses.
But then again, when you’ve stared down competitors at 200+ mph for decades, subtlety was never going to be your strong suit.
