THE HISTORY

Why this car became a legend

The Ford GT40 represents Ford’s remarkable campaign to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Ford won the 24-hour race four consecutive times, from 1966 to 1969. Several versions were developed, with the 1967 victory going to the Mk IV, a substantially different design from the earlier GT40 variants.
