The Ford GT40 has one the best records in sports history. It won the 24-hour Le Mans four consecutive times. It was designed specifically to compete with the red thoroughbreds of the Ferrari stable in long distance races.
So the quest of Henry Ford of the Le Mans came to reality with the Ford GT40. The first stage of the dream was to buy out Ferrari but the Italian manufacturer backed out at the latter stages of the deal.
The GT40 was born in collaboration with the Lola group. The “40” in the name is really the height of the car from the road as measured from its windshield.
The GT40 evolved from the V8 4.2L prototype that had a 207mph record in Nurburgring into the 1965 V8 4.7L that was tagged as the MK I GT40.
The MK I was further advanced to become MK II then MK III. The GT super car today pays tribute to the great legacy of the car. The modern GT40 has a 5.4L V8 engine that can zoom you around Las Vegas as one of the coolest guys in town.
