Ford GT40: The American Icon That Conquered Le Mans
In this episode of Vintage Car Chronicles, we explore the fascinating story of the Ford GT40, a car that not only changed the landscape of endurance racing but also secured Ford's legacy in motorsports. Designed in the 1960s to break Ferrari’s dominance at Le Mans, the GT40 became a symbol of American engineering prowess. We trace its origins, from Henry Ford II’s fierce rivalry with Enzo Ferrari, through its development by Ford Advanced Vehicles, and its ultimate victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans—winning four consecutive times from 1966 to 1969. Join us as we delve into the GT40’s design innovations, its iconic 1-2-3 finish in 1966, and its lasting impact on both racing and automotive culture.
