Ford GT40 MK-IV /

This unboxing video shoots a 1/18 scale Ford GT40 MK-IV supercar diecast car model produced by EXOTO.

The Ford GT40 was a high-performance endurance racing car commissioned by the Ford Motor Company. Based upon the Lola Mk6, the car was originally engineered and built by Ford Advanced Vehicles in early 1960s out of their base in Slough, UK; then starting from 1964, following disappointing early race results, the engineering team was relocated in Dearborn, Michigan (Kar Kraft). The Mk IV model was designed and built in the United States. The range was powered by a series of American-built Ford V8 engines modified for racing.

The Mk IV was built around a reinforced J chassis powered by the same 7.0 L engine as the Mk II. Excluding the engine, gearbox, some suspension parts and the brakes from the Mk.II, the Mk.IV was totally different from other GT40s, using a specific, all-new chassis and bodywork. It was undoubtedly the most radical and American variant of all the GT40's over the years.
