Ford GT 40 Roadster X 1 1965 Press Car 1:18


loading...

The 1965 Ford GT40 Roadster X1 Press Car was a rare open-top development and promotional version of Ford’s revolutionary mid-engine GT40 program. Rather than being associated with a single race driver, this roadster was used for testing, demonstrations, and press publicity, with notable drivers including Ken Miles, who tested GT40 roadsters for Shelby American. Its open cockpit, low-slung body, mid-mounted Ford V8, and lightweight construction gave it a distinctive appearance compared with the enclosed GT40 coupes. The roadster program was particularly significant because it allowed Ford, Shelby, and McLaren engineers to experiment with different engines, transmissions, and chassis developments that helped shape the GT40's later racing success.
