The Ford GT40 is a legendary sports car that achieved tremendous success in motorsport, particularly at the 24 Hours of Le Mans during the 1960s. Developed to challenge Ferrari's dominance in endurance racing, the GT40 was designed with a singular goal — to win Le Mans. Its name, GT40, refers to its height of just 40 inches (1.02 meters). The GT40 featured a lightweight chassis, advanced aerodynamics, and a powerful V8 engine. After a series of development iterations, the GT40 finally secured four consecutive overall victories at Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, making it an iconic symbol of Ford's motorsport achievements and engineering prowess. The GT40's legacy and success continue to be celebrated today, and it remains one of the most revered and sought-after classic sports cars in automotive history.
