Drive Home a Legend: Relive the Historic Ford GT40’s Iconic Le Mans Victory with 3 Available GT40s
In the 1960s, Ford set out to achieve what many thought impossible: to dethrone Ferrari from their reign over endurance racing. When a deal to purchase Ferrari fell through, Ford channeled that frustration into something extraordinary. The result was the Ford GT40, a masterpiece of engineering and speed that not only changed the world of racing but also became a symbol of American excellence.
After relentless development, Ford entered the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans with a clear mission: to win. Ford’s three GT40s didn’t just win—they made history. In one of the most dramatic finishes ever seen, Ford secured the top three positions in the race. Chris Amon and Bruce McLaren in the No. 2 car inherited the victory from fellow Ford driver Ken Miles in the No. 1 car, who had built a commanding lead. But in a calculated move to create an unforgettable photo finish, Ford executives ordered Miles to slow down, allowing all three cars to cross the line together in a display of dominance.
This was more than just a victory. It was a message to the world: American ingenuity, muscle, and spirit could not only match but surpass European excellence. As Mckeel Hagerty famously said, "The GT40 is one of the great automotive achievements of the 20th century. It's a kind of magic combination of a European sports racing model coming together with American ingenuity, American V8 power, just a spirit of competitiveness that we hadn't seen out of American cars, maybe ever."
