Ford 2 Cars Set GT40 MKIV - Le Mans 1967 and 2019 in 1:43 scale
This is the Ford 2 Cars Set GT40 MKIV - Le Mans 1967 and 2019 in 1:43 scale by IXO.
The Ford GT40 Mk IV (1967) and the Ford GT (2019) represent two eras of Ford’s endurance racing legacy, each showcasing groundbreaking innovation. The 1967 GT40 Mk IV, driven to victory by Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt at Le Mans, was an all-American machine featuring a lightweight aluminum honeycomb chassis and a 7.0L V8, built for raw speed and durability. It was the only GT40 variant designed and built entirely in the U.S., and its win was historic as it was the first and only time an all-American team, car, and drivers triumphed at Le Mans. In contrast, the 2019 Ford GT was a modern reinterpretation, featuring a carbon-fiber monocoque, active aerodynamics, and a twin-turbo 3.5L V6 EcoBoost engine. Competing in its final Le Mans appearance under the GTE Pro class, it honored Ford’s legacy with a throwback red-and-white livery inspired by the Mk IV. While the Mk IV was a brute-force engineering marvel built to dominate, the 2019 GT relied on advanced aerodynamics and efficiency, symbolizing Ford’s shift from raw power to cutting-edge technology in endurance racing.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
