My favorite part about this video is that he's legitimately beating the shit out of that priceless thing out there on the track. The other video on here of the Red GT40 at Monza, he's driving around like he has his grandmother in the passenger seat and they are on the way to church. This guy in the Gulf GT knows how to use that car.
+tecdessus This is one of the cars from 68 that raced at Le Mans :-) not #6 or #7 but another chassis. There were a few Gulf ones, you can't drive a replica that quick :-)
And also his partner Denny Hulme, who was New Zealand's greatest racing driver having taken the Formula One World Championship in 1967. In the movie Shelby/Miles vs. Leo Beebe.....(sorry the Ford vs. Ferrari movie) Denny Hulme is mostly left out and that's not fair to him and the hard work that he put in as a driver. Hulme was a racer up and to the end of his life. Denny Hulme died during the 1992 Tooheys 1000 from Bathurst. He suffered a heart attack at the wheel of his BMW M3, and was pronounced dead at Bathurst Hospital. People need to remember Le Mans is a team effort. ua-cam.com/video/NJfgQCuj3do/v-deo.html
We're in for a new battle in 2017... its not about the 488 GTE (never underestimate it though) but about the all new 911 RSR, which has been designed from scratch. It totally destroyed the competition (Ferrari, Aston Martin and Ford) at the Prologue today. Lets see if Ford can repeat their victory at LeMans!
Actually the original Ferrari killer was the ‘64-‘65 Shelby Daytona Coupe in GT class. The Ford GT was not successful against Ferrari until ‘66 in Prototype class and that was the MK IIb w/7.0L motor. The GT40 was not successful until FIA mandated a max of 5.0L in 1968, and by 1970 3.0L in prototype class. Racing has been increasingly regulated ever since...
Lucky bastard, he get's to drive one of the most iconic cars in the world. This car is worth millions and he gets to thrash it like it was an ordinary race car. I bet the car's going "At last I'm getting to do what I was built to do."
@@slyane7320 wtf does Ken miles have to do with gulf?? He never raced In Gulf race car.... Normie over here thinks he's a car guy by watching a movie.........
@@curtisjackson40 They aren't talking about the reliability either, while that was impressive for its time. They're saying for its age, it was very fast.
@@KB-bh9hp Yes this car is very special and very fast, especially for the past. But John said "that thing is working on 50 years old.." whoever owns a gt40 is rich as hell. So it's nothing special that it's still working. Sorry if you understand me wrong.
I've been driven by racing drivers in 3 original GT40's on track. Went round the outside of modern Ferraris and Aston Martin like they weren't there. Handling is unbelievable. Acceleration out of the pits was "oh my God.."
@Retro Lover no definitely not here because of the movie at all. I'm a huge Ford and gt40 fan so gt40 videos pop up on my feed all the time. I herd the movie was your typical Hollywood bullshit shit show so I'll stick to actual documentaries about it. Now run along sheep.
@Springwood Slasher - So you herd (heard) that the movie was Hollywood BS and you're not going to bother to see it? Whoever told you that sure is in total contrast with the millions who saw it and gave it a high rating! No, it's not documentary accurate, but it never claimed to be. Dude, it's a movie and movie writers always use poetic license in making a film a little more exciting for the viewers. The movie was more about the people behind the GT40 project than the car itself. It did a good job of exploring that. I saw it 3 times - first in IMAX and 2 more in a conventional modern theater. I too am a big Ford fan, I'll wager for many more years than you! The movie was very good for what it was intended to be, so don't crap on a movie when you haven't even seen it - that's just plain stupid. Go see Adam Carolla's documentary "Shelby American" if you're looking for pure fact.
The GT 40 just never-ending torque, that constant power all the way up to top speed is just incredible. I love seeing these cars come out of corners and just disappear into the distance. dang
Graham Smith fuck me.. the first time i see people agreeing on youtube!! do carry on!! I also say the world wide web. that a US UK collab i'm sure? correct me if i'm wrong please. the GT40 is stunning machinery though! beautiful sound!
Yes,I'm sure it was,there's a few more but I can't think what they are off the top of my head,probably military hardware,aircraft like the Harrier,F35,radar for the Apache A64,Lola race cars.
Excellent comment,a few years ago i was at a stop light with a buddy that knows as much about cars as i know brain surgery and this old white El Camino pulled up next to us,I'm not sure what id had under the hood but it was mean and big,it was barely idling and my buddy turns to me and says "man that doesn't sound very good, i wonder whats wrong with that car?" i turn towards him and said "not a thing",lol
One of the most awesome cars ever made, my God listen to that engine! I've never heard a V8 sound that good in any other car. Such a cool design too. You can't overstate the impact of seeing one of these live I'll bet...
@FormulaKimball - Another fantastic sounding V8 engine is the Cobra Daytona Coupe with those incredible headers and side pipes that sound like no others under hard acceleration! Check out UA-cam -" $7.25 million Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe-Lovely exhaust sounds."
I'm a kid born in February of '66, and my father was a Dodge guy, but we all celebrate the Shelby/Ford determination to show Enzo the back end of American enginuity at his own turf. I have 1/8 scale models of the '66 GT40's on my living room shelves just because they are so beautiful to gaze at. Let alone hear in person.
15 Years ago you could buy one of these and a McLaren F1 for 2 million for the pair, now they are both worth 10 million plus. Good investment if you could afford it.
@@mikefahy482, maybe, but I think almost every single superformance owner would trade their car without a second thought for a real one (if they had the financial ability to do so). Owning a REAL GT40 is like owning a piece of automotive history, to sit in the seat of the legends Ford picked to buy them (and race them). I can understand wanting to use the car, but those who are wealthy enough to afford them are also affluent enough to use them.
Wow, one of my favorite cars! But It takes a very brave man to travel above 200mph in this monster with such weak brakes, over and over again, at night, in the rain...wow!
Como va, como suena. Un sueño el Ford GT 40 MK1. Para mi, es uno de los mejores autos deportivos . De todos los tiempos. Entre en mi garage de los sueños
@Alexander - the new current GT would smoke both the GT40 and the 2005 GT, with a V6, no less. All the people that complain that it doesn't have a V 8 - take note!
The GT40 is one of the greatest exotic cars on Earth in my book. It won Le Mans 4 years in a row (from 1966 to 1969, first time with a 1-2-3 victory) and it won the World Sportscar Championship in 1966. An extremely lightweight, naturally aspirated, pure driver's car with no electronic bullshit at all. You had to have HUGE balls of STEEL to drive it at 320-360 km/h (200-225 mph) in 1960s. And with an actual maximum/top speed/top end of 299 km/h (186-ish mph), a road-going version of the GT40 Mk1 was the fastest production car in the world in its heyday. Plus, its successor, the Ford GT kicks asses still to this day.
I love all cars, European, Japanese, ect, But I can't help but laugh when people go "Ah, that Maserati V8 Has the BEST sound in the world! ". Or just replace Maserati with - Alfa Romeo 8C, ect. They ALL sound like American V8's. Politics infest everything, and it never fails to make me laugh how people just cannot admit how great an American V8 sound as easily as I could admit how great a 458 Italia sounds.
The reason why the GT40 sounds like it does is because of the exhaust configuration. It was designed to be as "efficient" as possible ( by 1960's standards) which is why it sounds more like a straight 8 when the throttle is closed. If you compare the same engine in a Mustang of the same era, they sound a little different
Well, this guys proven to everyone he’s an idiot lol. I mean it’s not as if different intakes, crank and plane configurations, rpm notes and exhaust systems make all V8’s sound the same is it?😂 cos a V8 mustang DEFINITELY sounds the same as a V8 Ferrari doesn’t it 😂
@LCTuba89 - The 289 is actually a very reliable engine. Ford got some poorly hardened head bolts and were plagued with some inferior head gaskets which gave the 289 racing engines (not production ones) a bad name. The Cobra Daytona Coupes ran for 24 hours at Le Mans and held up just fine.
It's the different exhaust system designs that make them sound so different. The small block Mk I has crossover exhaust. Each collector takes the outer cylinders of one bank and the inners of the other bank, for an even-firing quartet. The big-block uses conventional headers where each collector serves one bank, giving firing intervals of 180-90-180-270.
@prplepwr1995 - Unlike Chevrolet, Ford was created as a result of its first race car in 1902. It was the famous Ford "999", an 18.9 liter 4 cylinder racer that beat the Winton 6, which failed prior to the end of the race. Chevrolet didn't build its first passenger (not race) car until 1911.
@@lordsnivyofnottingham2948 Trouble is, they still do and always will sound rather unemotional compared to the classic, commanding growl of an American V8!
Alvin Banks The mk1 was not even a Le Mans contender until they restricted engines in 1968. The only british thing in the mk2 was the chassis. Shelby made it a real race car.
The original MK1 GT40 is possibly the greatest British car ever made!!! An American company like Ford could have never come up with a car as incredible as that, so they had to ask the Britsh company Lola to design and build it for them.... The GT40... The very best of British engineering!!!!!!!!!!
The GT40 was designed, engineered, and made in the UK by Lola racing cars, and then sold to Ford a couple of years later.. It's basically exactly the same as the Lola MK6, Lola just changed the chassis slightly and called it the GT40, as it was only 40 inches high.... As if the Americans could have come up with a car as great as the GT40!!!!! hahaha
Johnny Salami No, Ford bought the GT40 from Lola..Read up about the history of the GT40 and Lola... If you look up Lola MK6, you'll see its identical, and the MK6 was released 5 years before the GT40.. how do you explain that?? Time travelling car designers??
To think that this beautiful trackstar of a car is more than 50 years old and can run toe to toe with these new cars is just amazing! The legendary Ford GT40. This video makes me want to see Ford vs Ferrari again.
Que delicia volver a escuchar la melodía de un motor V8 de un GT 40. Un sonido como la de las antiguas cupecitas del TC de los años 40/50 de la Argentina. Los escuchabas venir desde kilómetros de distancia a Oscar, a Juan, a los tanos Emiliozzi... En fin, un mundo que ya no es.
Managed to see one of these In real life, Southward Car Museum down in Paraparaumu New Zealand, im unsure if it was a replica or a Raced used car, but it was amazing, and i adore the Blue and Orange!
Excellent Sound and Video from Bozzy as is usual.....And I saw the movie today. The in car and Race scenes were pretty ordinary. I expected less Bullshit. A good story though. Needed to see and hear this, Sensational Car. I fell in Love with the GT40 when I saw one at the Adelaide Car Show in 1969 when I was 12. Timeless Design.....Thanks Bozzy, your Videos will also stand the Test of Time.
Absolutely brutal sound. Nothing quite like that anymore.

@prplepwr1995 - Unlike Chevrolet, Ford was created as a result of its first race car in 1902. It was the famous Ford "999", an 18.9 liter 4 cylinder racer that beat the Winton 6, which failed prior to the end of the race. Chevrolet didn't build its first passenger (not race) car until 1911.
The sound 😍
Warning, 12 ricer kids who prefer the farting noises their Honda Civics make with a fart can exhaust tip has watched this video...
Poot...
I wouldn't rip too hard on Honda. They do have a legitimate racing pedigree, and were in F1 at this time. They even had their first win in 1965.
@@lordsnivyofnottingham2948 Trouble is, they still do and always will sound rather unemotional compared to the classic, commanding growl of an American V8!
That car is BRUTAL!!! Amazing good driver too!
Ken Miles
What a surreal experience. To be driving a MKI on the track.
This car is legend usa
british designed and built
dave h about 25% right
other way round
Jon Speck Only the MkIV was made in the USA. The MkI,II and III were made in England.
Alvin Banks The mk1 was not even a Le Mans contender until they restricted engines in 1968. The only british thing in the mk2 was the chassis. Shelby made it a real race car.
More of that please!
The original MK1 GT40 is possibly the greatest British car ever made!!!
An American company like Ford could have never come up with a car as
incredible as that, so they had to ask the Britsh company Lola to design
and build it for them....
The GT40... The very best of British engineering!!!!!!!!!!
stop dreaming
The GT40 was designed, engineered, and made in the UK by Lola racing cars, and then sold to Ford a couple of years later.. It's basically exactly the same as the Lola MK6, Lola just changed the chassis slightly and called it the GT40, as it was only 40 inches high.... As if the Americans could have come up with a car as great as the GT40!!!!! hahaha
dude chill you realize a new ford gt built by ford would wreck this thing right, it won le mans 24/7
+John Daniel its a ford, ford made it
Johnny Salami No, Ford bought the GT40 from Lola..Read up about the history of the GT40 and Lola... If you look up Lola MK6, you'll see its identical, and the MK6 was released 5 years before the GT40.. how do you explain that?? Time travelling car designers??
Ascot raceway in Gardena and 75 Long Beach Grand Prix first time hearing real race cars, thanks Dad.
If you want to know what the future holds with electric cars, just mute the sound and watch the clip again.
To think that this beautiful trackstar of a car is more than 50 years old and can run toe to toe with these new cars is just amazing! The legendary Ford GT40. This video makes me want to see Ford vs Ferrari again.
I seriously creamed my pants at the flyby at 1:15 :'D
Brutal sound!
Sounds like a jet
This was Ford's middle finger to Le Mans... lol
The MK1 will always be my favorite chassis.
This my dear friends, is car porn!
GT40=Hardcore porn
330 P4=Softcore porn
And TWO of them on the same track is LESBIAN car porn!!!
Today, I watched ford & ferrari and come here. The movie was exellent ! and gt40 too ! Rip Ken Miles.
Unbeleivable nine two! Your the man, just got home from work and am blasting this in HD sounds sweeet
Just gorgeous- the real deal in that fantastic livery! It looks and sounds amazing on track!
¡NO HAY NADA MEJOR QUE EL SONIDO DE ESTE V8 DEL FORD GT 40 !!....POR DIOS ES INCOMPARABLE!
Thank you Grand Turismo 2 for introducing these absolutely beautiful GT40 road/race cars to me... My favorite car in the world
Que delicia volver a escuchar la melodía de un motor V8 de un GT 40. Un sonido como la de las antiguas cupecitas del TC de los años 40/50 de la Argentina. Los escuchabas venir desde kilómetros de distancia a Oscar, a Juan, a los tanos Emiliozzi... En fin, un mundo que ya no es.
Fantastic Car All The Best Health Sounds Incredible Timeless Styling.
Managed to see one of these In real life, Southward Car Museum down in Paraparaumu New Zealand, im unsure if it was a replica or a Raced used car, but it was amazing, and i adore the Blue and Orange!
Excellent Sound and Video from Bozzy as is usual.....And I saw the movie today. The in car and Race scenes were pretty ordinary. I expected less Bullshit. A good story though. Needed to see and hear this, Sensational Car. I fell in Love with the GT40 when I saw one at the Adelaide Car Show in 1969 when I was 12. Timeless Design.....Thanks Bozzy, your Videos will also stand the
Test of Time.
