    福特GT40是有史以来最具标志性的赛车之一,它的诞生出自赛车界最臭名昭著的怨恨,亨利·福特二世在未能获得法拉利的公司所有权后两手空空回到美国,并宣布他希望在勒芒赛场粉碎法拉利。结果造就了这款完全实现福特期望的汽车。

    从1964年到1969年,GT40的诞生和发展是非常短暂的。尽管福特拥有巨大的财富和生产能力,却缺乏宝贵的赛车专业知识。福特与总部位于英国的罗拉车主兼首席设计师埃里克·布罗德利谈判达成协议,并派遣英国工程师罗伊·伦恩回到英国,在该项目中扮演关键角色。在美国设计师哈利·科普的监督下,布罗德利、伦恩和前阿斯顿·马丁车队老板约翰·威尔的团队开始在布罗姆利的罗拉工厂生产这款新车。1963年底,在威尔的指导下,车队搬到了在Slough新成立的福特先进车辆部门总部。1963年8月,迈凯轮汽车公司的布鲁斯·迈凯轮受命对一辆原型车进行评估,之后工作进展迅速,尽管它几乎没能及时完成,从而得以公之于众。第一辆GT40, 也就是GT/101(“GT40”的绰号来源于车身高度:从地面到挡风玻璃顶部有40英寸高),于1964年4月1日在英国展出,不久之后在纽约展出。赛车价格为5200英镑(相当于今天的10.3万英镑)。

    在数周后的勒芒测试中,GT40虽然极速能达到惊人的时速200英里(约321.9公里),但到了时速170英里(约273.6公里)时赛车就出现了严重的稳定度问题。 尽管GT 40有着难以置信的声誉,但第一年的比赛并不顺利,陆续参加了纽伯格林1000公里耐力赛, 勒芒24小时耐力赛和法国兰斯12小时耐力赛,但全部以退赛告终。到当年年底,尽管仍在制造GT40,但威尔还是把GT40项目交给了美国前传奇赛车手卡罗尔·谢尔比。谢尔比将4.2升的发动机换成了他曾经在眼镜蛇车队使用过的7.0升V8发动机,与新的ZF变速器相匹配。搭配新的动力单元,GT40在1965年的代托纳比赛中取得了它的第一个胜利,接着在赛百灵获得第二名。然而,勒芒赛却是一场灾难,由于机械故障,五辆赛车都未能完成比赛。

    1966年标志着GT40传奇的开始。在代托纳的1-2-3场胜利之后很快又在赛百灵取得了另一场胜利。然而,福特觊觎的却是勒芒皇冠。福特为那一年的比赛集结了一支大军:9辆车,100多名人员和21吨的备件。福特击败了法拉利,与前三名完成比赛的车手包揽了领奖台,并成为第一个在勒芒取得胜利的美国制造商。GT40在接下来的三年里赢得了勒芒冠军,使GT40成为有史以来最具标志性的赛车之一。从那以后,法拉利就再也没有赢得过勒芒的冠军。

    这个完美的1:18比例福特GT40模型基于1969年勒芒24小时耐力赛上获胜的带有象征性海湾石油涂装的赛车,底盘号#1075。由Jacky Ickx与Jackie Oliver驾驶的6号车在勒芒24小时赛车史上记录了最经典的胜利之一,在372圈后以仅120米(390英尺)的优势击败了汉斯·赫尔曼的保时捷908赛车。这是一个经典的转败为胜的故事: 保时捷只剩世界跑车锦标赛的三场比赛且极有可能获得勒芒赛场的首次胜利。16辆保时捷参加了比赛,超过三分之一的场地,保时捷确实在90%的比赛中领先。然而,领先的917在上午11点的时候变速箱坏了,由Ickx和Oliver驾驶的福特取得领先地位。比赛以3小时的冲刺结束,福特遇上排气系统故障,而赫尔曼和杰拉德·拉鲁斯的保时捷908紧随其后,他们自己也被刹车和引擎的机械问题困扰。Ickx知道如果开进Mulsanne直道,赫尔曼会超过他,但是他可以再次利用尾流超车,然后在剩下的一圈保持领先。汽车在剩不到一分钟的时间里冲过了终点线,所以还需要再跑完一圈。福特之前只用一箱油跑23圈,但现在突然需要再跑一圈了。Ickx假装因燃料不足而缺乏动力,让赫尔曼在Mulsanne直道上提前超过了他,然后在5公里直道结束前利用尾流再次超过了他。Ickx阻止了赫尔曼第一个越过终点线,又一年击败了保时捷。

    更令人印象深刻的是,这辆胜利冲过终点线的车并不是当年的新车,而是前一年由佩德罗·罗德里格斯和卢西安·比安奇驾驶并获得勒芒冠军的旧款。Ickx将车队的胜利献给了当年早些时候去世的前冠军比安奇。在比赛开始时Jacky Ickx不紧不慢地走向自己的赛车、坐好、绑上安全带, 以此来抗议“勒芒式”发车,就在前一年保时捷车手约翰·伍尔夫因未系安全带在事故中被甩出赛车重伤过世。

    Your first payment is taken immediately. The rest will be paid automatically in monthly installments

    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    • A PAYMENT AUTHORISATION FOR THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT OF YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE HELD DURING THE FULL PLAN PERIOD as security. This hold will be charged ONLY in the event a monthly payment is declined (the authorisation hold might appear as "Pending" on your credit card bill).
    • You must maintain a sufficient "Required Available Credit" amount on your credit card for both the full outstanding amount of your purchase and the monthly payment during the full period of the plan.
    • Your credit card issuer may charge you interest on amounts charged to your credit card unless you pay Your credit card balance in full each month.
    • In case we do not manage to reauthorize the remaining amount of the transaction, you will receive a notice email. In that case, you will have to promptly update your credit card details. In case your bank still refuses to reauthorize the outstanding amount, we will have to charge the full outstanding amount of the transaction at once from your credit card.
    Splitit offers you a flexible way of paying for items in instalments, completely interest-free, by reserving the available line of credit on your credit card. Then, each month, according to your payment plan, Splitit collects the instalment amount and reissues the authorisation request for the remaining balance.

    It is important to note that payments are still charged on your existing credit card. Splitit simply provides you the method to do this and information about the instalments. Here is an example of how the service works for a customer buying a £2,000 model in 4 instalments of £500 each:

    Splitit obtains authorisation from the credit card company for the full purchase amount of £2,000. This is not a charge on the card; it is simply reserving £2,000 from the customer’s line of credit.
    - The credit card company then charges the customer £500 for the first payment.
    - During the second month, Splitit requests authorisation for the outstanding purchase amount of £1,500, and charges the customer the second installment of £500.
    - This authorisation and charge process continues until the full £2,000 is collected - in this case, for 4 months.
    No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest or hidden fees of any kind.
    No, your item will be processed after the first initial instalment and delivered as normal upon passing our Quality Control check at Head Office.
    - You can pay using Splitit with a valid Mastercard or Visa
    Nothing, no credit check is required if you use a Splitit instalment plan and there is no impact on your credit score. All the bank sees is the individual instalment charges each month. If one of your payment authorisations is declined, there is still no affect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge. The denial would simply accelerate payment of the remaining balance (unless you provide a different card which was not denied).
    You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
    The instalments appear on your statement as individual charge items with the name of 'Amalgam Collection'. These payments will appear monthly according to your instalment plan, with the same charge amount each time.
