The Legend of Ford Gt-40 and the Ford Gt

-There are many diferences between the Ford Gt-40 and the Ford Gt. The Ford Gt-40 was created 47 years ago and it was the fastest car in this decad, it has 6997cc with a V8 engine

-The Ford GT40 race car is a winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times from 1966 to 1969. It was built by Ford Motor Company to compete in endurance races, and so deal with Ferrari who won five consecutive times from 1960 to 1965.


    Top Gear teste the Ford Gt and the Gt-40


There are a lot of diferents types of the Ford Gt-40:
  • MK 1

    The Mk I was the original Ford GT40. Early prototypes were powered by 4.2 litre (255 cu.in) alloy V8 engines and production models were powered by 4.7 litre (289 cu.in) engines as used in the Ford Mustang. Five prototype models were built with roadster bodywork, including the Ford X-1. The Ford X-1 was a roadster built to contest the Fall 1965 North American Pro Series, a forerunner of CanAm, entered by the Bruce McLaren team and driven by Chris Amon. This car wins the 24h of Sebring in1966.

    • MK 2

      For Daytona 1967, two Mk II models (chassis 1016 and 1047) Were Fitted with 7.0 liter Mercury engines. Mercury is a Ford Motor Company division, and Mercury's 427 WAS Exactly the Same engine as Ford's with Different logos. A batch of wrongly heat treated input shafts in the transaxles sidelined Virtually every Ford in the race, however, and Ferrari won 1-2-3.
  •   MK 3

    The Mk IV WAS built around a reinforced J chassis powered by the Same 7.0 L engine as the Mk II. Excluding the engine, the Mk IV WAS totally Different from other GT40s, using a specific chassis and specific bodywork. As a direct result of the Miles accident, the team installed a NASCAR-style steel-tube roll cage in the Mk. IV, Which made ​​it much safer negated But MOST of the weight saving of the honeycomb-panel construction. Dan Gurney Often complained about the weight of the Mk IV, since the car was 600 pounds (270 kg) heavier than the Ferraris have raced. DURING practice at Le Mans in 1967, in an effort to preserve the highly-stressed brakes, Gurney Developed a strategy (also co-driver ADOPTED by AJ Foyt) of backing off the throttle Completely Several hundred yards approach to the Before The Mulsanne hairpin and Virtually coasting Into the braking area. This technique saved the brakes, RESULTING But The increase in the car's lap times Recorded practice led to speculation DURING the Ford team within The Gurney and Foyt That, in an effort to compromise on chassis settings, HAD hopelessly "dialed out" their car.
