ABOUT THE FORD GT40 – The Ford GT40 is an iconic legend in the world of motorsport and automotive history. Born in the 1960s with a singular purpose – to beat Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans – the GT40 achieved that goal not once, but four times consecutively from 1966 to 1969.
This mid-engine marvel packed a powerful V8 engine, often a 7.0-liter unit, producing up to 500 horsepower, propelling it to remarkable speeds. Its low-slung, aerodynamic body, and distinctive design contributed to its dominance on the track.
The GT40’s Le Mans victories solidified its place in racing lore, making it a symbol of American engineering excellence and determination. Today, it remains a coveted collector’s item, a testament to Ford’s pursuit of greatness in motorsport history.
