Ford vs Ferrari: what cars did the heroes of the film drive

In 2019, Hollywood cinema pleased car enthusiasts: a picture of Ford vs Ferrari came out. This, of course, is not Fast and the Furious with its abundance of supercars and other luxury cars, but there was something to see. We offer you to get acquainted with a couple of cars that you could watch in the movies.

Ford GT40

The car that has almost the most screen time. It is a sports car that has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times. The car got its name from the phrase Gran Turismo. 40 is the height of the sports car in inches (approximately 1 meter). The model was produced for a short time. She left the assembly line in 1965, and in 1968 production was already stopped. 

Ford GT40 is a real breakthrough for its time. Firstly, motorists were struck by the design: spectacular, aggressive, truly sporty. Secondly, the car was pleasantly surprised by its power. Some variations were equipped with a 7-liter engine, while Ferrari equipped their models with units of no more than 4 liters.

Ferrari p

A more “young” representative of the automobile industry (1963-1967). The car is known for its endurance. He regularly took the highest awards in “marathon” races for 1000 km. The original version was equipped with a 3-liter engine with a capacity of 310 horsepower. 

The first models had a literally futuristic design. Smooth shapes were designed to improve aerodynamics. Ferrari P has become a successful model, resulting in about a dozen modifications. Over time, the engines received more liters and “horses”.
