🚗 The Ford GT40: A Legacy of Innovation, Rivalry, and Victory 🏆 In the 1960s, Ford took on one of the most ambitious challenges in motorsport history: to beat Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Enter the Ford GT40: a car designed for one purpose only, to dominate endurance racing. With its low 40-inch profile, powerful V8 engine, and groundbreaking aerodynamics, the GT40 wasn't just fast, it was visionary. From 1966 to 1969, the GT40 would go on to win Le Mans four times in a row, redefining endurance racing and inspiring future generations of performance cars, like the 2005 and 2017 Ford GT. The GT40 became more than a car; it became a symbol of determination, teamwork, and the spirit of innovation. #FordGT40 #Innovation #Engineering #DesignInspiration #Motorsport

#passionateassets Turbo Power. - Source: bmwgroup-classic.com Year: 1979 Engine type: Inline Cylinders: 4 Turbo Displacement: 1990 cc ( later 1422 cc from 1979 ) Power output: 420kW / 570 hp ( later 330 kW / 450 hp at 9,000 rpm ) Top speed: 310 km/h later 290 km/h Drivers: Markus Höttinger, Jochen Dauer "If you are a racing driver during the seventies and also brave enough to drive some of the “wildest beasts” with four wheels and an engine, Group 5 offers a fair share of thrills. The “Special Production Car” category in particular allows extensive modifications to the standard road cars, changing them practically beyond recognition. Hardly any brand wants to miss out on this opportunity, especially since some of the most important sponsors are also involved in the racing series. Among these cars, the BMW 320 in Jägermeister colours becomes an icon. In 1977, BMW comes up with the plan to enter Formula 1 with its own turbo engine as soon as possible. BMW's engine specialists initially opt for a 2-litre, 4-cylinder engine and fit it with a turbocharger. The engine tuned in this way now easily achieves 600 hp, but can “hardly run due to sheer power”. The racing car is difficult to control, the turbo lag much too big. Therefore, a turbocharged 1.4-litre engine is deployed during the 1979 racing season. The potential of this engine is an important step towards the development of the legendary BMW Formula 1 turbo engines. The BMW 320 Turbo is the link between the long touring car tradition and the successful appearance in the top class of motorsport."
