Hot Wheels Ford GT-40 Hits the Highway in Georgia

If you haven't watched the movie, Ford versus Ferrari, then you are definitely missing out.  It's a great film.  The star of course is the Ford GT40.  It was designed to take the Grand Prix racing championship away from Ferrari after Ford's offer to buy the venerable Italian sports car manufacturer was spurned rather rudely.  While the actors are great, one star of the show is the Ford GT 40 itself.  I'm pretty sure that I could never fit in one of these little race cars.  But, thanks to Hot Wheels, I do have one in my car collection!


Hot Wheels GT40 Race Day Series Car for 2020

This Ford GT 40 is from the Hot Wheels HW Race Day series for 2020.  It's car 8 of 10 of the series and 35th model of the 250 car Hot Wheels models for 2020.

This model features the famed Gulf Oil livery that has appeared on some of the most epic cars in motor sports.  It's a combination that looks good coming or going.

This model is much like the GT40 that raced in the 24 hours of Daytona in 1968.  Piloted by Jackie Ickx and Brian Redman, the car did not finish the race.

Taking a pose at a rest stop on a Georgia highway, this model looks great against the background of endless Georgia farmland.

If you are collecting cars that made an impact in racing history, you must add a Ford GT40 to your collection.
