The Ford GT-40 was designed by Ford to be an endurance racer to beat the European car builders in the 1960's. During the early 1960's endurance races such as the Le Mans 24 Hour in France were dominated by the European manufacturers, particularly Ferrari. Ford had made a bid to buy Ferrari and at a late stage Ferrari pulled out of negotiations. To this end Ford decided to show Ferrari that they could built competitive race cars and out of spite built the outrageous GT40.
