Chronology
PredecessorFord GT40

The GT recalls Ford's historically significant GT40, a consecutive four-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans (19661969), including a 1-2-3 finish in 1966.

This history has inspired many movies, including the 2019 film Ford v Ferrari. In this film, they show the story of the development of the Ford GT40 mk I. The car was designed by Carroll Shelby, Phil Remington, and race car driver Ken Miles.
