The Ford that Beat Ferrari: A Racing History of the GT40 The Ford that Beat Ferrari
A Racing History of the GT40

by John Allen
Henry Ford was angry. He had just been spurned by Enzo Ferrari
who had finally told him in no uncertain terms he wouldn't sell. Henry
wanted to get even and to hit hard, fast and where it would hurt the
most: at Le Mans 24-hours, the most prestigious race in the world. But
first he needed a car. The Shelby Cobras had earlier conquered in
the GT class, but overall victory was not theirs. Instead Mr. Ford
chose a British prototype, the Lola GT, from which he developed the
Ford GT-40. (40 for forty inches high!). It was a marvel of engineering
…placing 1-2-3 at Le Mans in 1966, with further victories in the next
three consecutive years. This book tells the story of the GT40 and is
a must for any serious Ford racing enthusiast.

Ford GT40 and GT Ultimate Portfolio 1964-2006
Built to take on Ferrari at Le Mans, the GT40 began its race
career in 1964 and continued into the 70s. It was 1966 when
Henry Ford's dream was realized when three GT40s finished
1-2-3 at Le Mans. Although the GT40 continued to be raced
after 1967 it was with private teams rather than from Ford itself,
where it became a legend in its own lifetime. Recently Ford
has produced a limited volume modern-day replica - forty
years young and still a magnet for enthusiasts whenever seen
at a motoring event. This book is the story of the GT40 and
contains a collection of road tests, model introduction articles
and driving impressions. Included are full pecifications and
history.
