Designed and built in England, the Mk I, Mk II, and Mk III variants were based on the British Lola Mk6. The Mk IV model was designed and built in the United States. Powered by modified Ford V8 engines, the range was created to dominate long-distance sports car races. Launched by Ford Motor Company to defeat Ferrari, which won every 24 Hours of Le Mans race from 1960 to 1965, the GT40 broke Ferrari's streak in 1966 and went on to win three more annual races. The Mk II's victory was a major milestone for an American manufacturer, marking the first win since Jimmy Murphy's triumph with Duesenberg at the 1921 French Grand Prix. In 1967, the Mk IV became the only car designed and built in the United States to achieve overall victory at Le Mans.
