Description: It took 37 years of cranking for Ford to successfully start the mid-engined followup to the historic GT40 race car. In the process, Ford created — and abandoned — at least seven mid-engined cars meant to recapture the glory from the famous victor of the Ford vs. Ferrari battle at Le Mans. In this episode of Revelations, automotive journalist Jason Cammisa tells the fascinating backstory of the 2005-2006 Ford GT — and how it, like the seven mid-engined attempts before it — was almost killed off before it hand a chance. == Subscribe to our YouTube channel for new videos every day! bit.ly/HagertyYouTube Visit our website for daily automotive news, cars stories, reviews, and opinion: hagerty.com/media Stay up to date by signing up for our email newsletters here: hagerty.com/media/newsletter Talk to other car people on our community: community.hagerty.com Follow us on social media: Facebook | facebook.com/Hagerty Instagram | instagram.com/Hagerty Twitter | twitter.com/Hagerty If you love cars, you belong with us.
