Le Mans - FORD GTLM - 2016

Le Mans - Ford GTLM - 2016

Exactly fifty years after the historic event was revived in 1966, Ford is back to do battle with Scuderia Ferrari on the La Sarthe circuit. On the contrary, the American giant has chosen the occasion carefully, announcing its return to the Le Mans 24 Hours as early as 2015 and preparing a car that is the great-granddaughter of the formidable GT40 MK II that took all three steps of the podium half a century earlier.

With its mechanics and aerodynamic profiles, it's a masterpiece to display and admire!
