Ford GT40

The GT40 is legendary. It dominated endurance racing in the sixties, winning at Sebring, Le Mans, Watkins Glen, and Daytona. Despite the name it was not a grand tourer but a racing prototype, competing against cars like the Porsche 908. Decades later Ford would create the Ford GT production car designed after the GT40 and greatly resembling it. Those were also used in motorsport, albeit in grand touring competition. The Ford GT has since been redesigned and no longer resembles the GT40.
