Don't think they're actually called the 'GT-40' though, I think Carroll Shelby or someone has the rights to that name, now.

The actual Ford designation is the Ford GT.


How bout some quick trivia......

So who knows why they decided to call it the "GT-40"?

The roofline was 40 inches tall.

One of the drivers (Gurney?) was too tall, so they added a slight bulge to the top of the driver's door in order to clear his helmet.

My all-time favorite best-looking most awesomest race car ever.

I had a 1:12 scale slot-car set when I was like 5 or 6, me and my big brother spent hours and hours playing it. I had a grey GT-40 in the Gulf colors just like that pic posted above, and he had a red Porsche... 917?
