Ultimatecarpage.com update (11-13-06)
Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,
In the early 1960s Enzo Ferrari was at the height of his power with successes on the track and commercially as well. During those years many attempted to take the 'Commendatore' on, but very few succeeded. Today we take a look at two successful challengers. First up is the Ford GT Prototype, which was one of the twelve prototypes that were part of Ford's vast program. The featured car is one of the very rare survivors of the development cars. In the third year of the program, Ford relieved Ferrari as the dominant force at Le Mans. Tractor manufacturer Ferruccio Lamborghini turned from a loyal customer of Ferrari road cars to a competitor within a few years with his highly advanced 350 GT. Two 350 GT chassis were sent to Zagato to be fitted with a new coupe bodywork to form the 3500 GTZ. The pictured car is the only survivor of the two. One of the most unusual manufacturers of today is Bristol and last week they announced the expansion of their line-up with the awesome 1012 bhp Bristol Fighter T. With the Volvo Carsto V8 Speedster Leif Tufvesson proved that the term 'Hot Rod' is not exclusively American. Set to be launched at Detroit in January this year, Mitsubishi released the first picture of the next generation Lancer Cooper had also been a successful Ferrari challenger, but by the time they produced the BRM-engined T86B, they were struggling. It proved to be the last of the line and within a decade after winning the World Championship, Cooper was forced to retire from Formula 1.
