What is Gt40?
1.
After failing to purchase Ferrari, Ford decided that they had to beat them. They went to Carroll Shelby to help them design their new supercar to win at LeMans. By 1964, the protoype GT40 was ready. The GT stands for Gran Turismo, and the 40 stands for 40", the height of the car. It went 3 stages (Mark I, Mark II, Mark IV) and ended winning the 24 Hours of LeMans in 1966, '67, '68, and 1969. It was powered by a 427cid V8 produced upwards of 500hp.
