This 1968 Ford GT40 Gulf/Mirage Lightweight Racing Car has recently been sold for mind-boggling $11 million at an action in California. The car was used in the races and in 1971 it was leased to Steve McQueen to be filmed in the Hollywood movie Le Mans.

How long before the new owner, who has more money than driving ability, wrecks this thing?

I would have bought it, but then I found out it only gets 3 miles per gallon (which is outrageous), so I withdrew my bid.

in that case, i certainly would not want to be your pair of pants, sir. there are dozens of better-looking cars than this one. for the many examples, start with google images and search on "can am" and "car."


hahaha, i love how people have decided that "this is the most beautiful car in the world and no other car will ever touch it, facts and reality be damned!" :D

I dont think you get the whole picture g... It's the entire package of what this car is... the records it has... the way it kicked Enzo in the balls... all of this on top of it's amazing looks... Aesthetics AND Meaning.... Show me another car that has that? Oh and I did your lil google search... I think all that this shows is that not only do you not have your facts straight... you also have a poor sense of what is beautiful....
