Ford Mark IV. In the early 1960s Ford Motor Company set out to win Europe’s most famous auto race, the 24-Hours of Le Mans. The goal was achieved in 1966. One year later this car made it two-in-a-row. Powered by a 7 liter, 500 horsepower engine, it beat the second place Ferrari by 32 miles. Legendary drivers Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt shared the wheel to become the first, and to date only, American drivers to win the classic French race in an American car.
