    • Abstract:
      This article focuses on the design of a production-ready version of the GT40, one of the fastest and most successful racecars made by the company Ford Motor Co. Ford hired Mayflower Corp., an expert of aluminum body expertise, to build the space frame and body panels and picked Lear Corp. to deliver the interior, because the company had just completed work on the Thunderbird, another low-volume, time-intensive Ford car.
