When Ford's attempt to buy Ferrari fell through, the US car giant embarked on a program to beat the famous Italian marque at the world's most prestigious race, the Le Mans 24 Hours. It was quite a battle. Ford's challenger was the GT40, which placed 1-2-3 at Le Mans in 1966 and won the next three consecutive years. This classic book about the GT40 fastest sports racing car of its day has been redesigned, expanded and updated to meet pent-up demand that has pushed the value of the original 1985 edition higher and higher.
