Ford GT40 (United States of America, 1964-1968)

In 1965 Ford started producing a race-purpose high-performance sports car that is best known as the Ford GT40. This grand tourer was originally conceived as an effort to beat the powerful Ferrari models in long-distance racing and eventually got to achieve some success on the tracks.

Four versions (generations) of the GT40 have been created in just 4 four years and these racing cars most notably led Ford to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for four consecutive seasons (1966–1969), amongst other prizes.
