Aw, the legendary, original, LeMans-winning, Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40 Mk1. Does it get any more patriotic than this? Ford and Carrol Shelby (RIP) worked together and developed this car for the sole-purpose of flying across the pond and beating the dominant Ferrari at LeMans, and Ford completed it’s mission successfully; attaining four consecutive LeMans victories.

Ford also won the four FIA international titles (at what was then unofficially known as the World Sportscar Championship) with the GT40. The Mk IV GT40, which won the race in 1967, remains, to this day, the only car designed and built entirely in the United States to claim an overall win at Le Mans.
