HISTORY IN THE MAKING
In 1958, the 718 was introduced. An open-wheeled car that combined the company’s classic mechanics with the Formula body style. Wolfgang von Trips drove it in the Monaco Grand Prix, but unfortunately crashed on lap two of the race. Joakim Bonnier achieved third place when racing at Reims in the vehicle. For the 1960 model year, the design changed slightly, lengthening its wheelbase by three-point-nine inches. Only five of these four-cylinder vehicles were made.

The future has arrived
The History: The GT40 won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four consecutive times, from 1966 to 1969 (1966 being the Mk II, 1967 the Mk IV, and 1968–1969 the oldest chassis design, the Mk I), including a 1-2-3 finish in 1966. In 1966, with Henry Ford II personally in attendance at Le Mans, the Mk II GT40 provided the first overall Le Mans victory for an American manufacturer, and the first victory for an American manufacturer at a major European race since Jimmy Murphy´s triumph with Duesenberg at the 1921 French Grand Prix. The Mk IV GT40 that won Le Mans in 1967 is the only car designed and built entirely in the United States to achieve the overall win at Le Mans. The GT40 was originally produced to win long-distance sports car races against Ferrari (who won at Le Mans six times in a row from 1960 to 1965).
