The Ford GT40 is one of the most iconic racing cars of all time. It was developed by Ford to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and it won the race four times in a row from 1966 to 1969. The GT40 was also successful in other racing series, including the World Sportscar Championship and the Can-Am series.

The Ford GT40 was produced in two versions: the Mk I and the Mk II. The Mk I was introduced in 1964, and it was powered by a 4.7-liter V8 engine. The Mk II was introduced in 1966, and it was powered by a 7.0-liter V8 engine. Both versions of the GT40 were built on a lightweight aluminum chassis.
