Something Amazing Just Happened at Ford’s Low-Volume Plant in Ontario

The new already has an intriguing storyline behind it. The ink on the official announcement of the new wasn’t even dry yet, and had already received in the new supercar. So much interest, in fact, that the LeMans version was added to and then – to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the s 1966 LeMans victory – a full-sized of the LeMans racer was created. The was extended to 2019 while Ford also dropped a with old-school livery. Just a few months later, a few GT Prototypes were in Colorado and, at the start of December 2016, of the new GT and LeMans-winning GT40 for the masses.
