The 1965 Ford GT40 Roadster Prototype is one of the rarest and most fascinating variants of Ford’s legendary Le Mans challenger.
Developed as an open-top version of the GT40, only a handful of these roadster prototypes were built to explore the design’s potential for both racing and possible road use. Powered by a mid-mounted Ford V8 and featuring the low, aggressive styling of the GT40 program, the roadsters were tested by drivers such as Ken Miles and served as important development cars.
Extremely limited in number and highly significant in the GT40’s early history, the 1965 Roadster Prototype remains a striking symbol of 1960s endurance racing innovation. These photos capture the bold design and historic significance of the 1965 Ford GT40 Roadster Prototype, a unique chapter in Ford’s legendary racing story.
