The cars of this type were produced for races of the sports prototypes. The appearance of the cars for common use became possible because according to the rules of the competitions only those models, which were produced by a series, not less than a certain minimum, could take part in the exhibition. It is interesting to know that the figure 40 in the car name appeared because its height was only 40 inches (1010 mm). Ford GT40, which embodied the ideas of Eric Broadley, represented a very progressive design: its bearing body represented two cavities of the closed section made of a thin aluminum sheet (0,75 mm). Glue and rivets were used for connection of the details. An arrangement and design of the power unit, and also the elements of a suspension bracket made it look like F1 models.
