GT vs R8

Four decades ago, Ford produced a race car called the GT40 that ran away with the world-renowned 24 Hours of LeMans in 1966. GT40s won LeMans again the next three years. If you can't beat 'em, ban 'em. And that happened. In 2005 a look-a-like-but-performs-better Ford supercar has came to the market as the Ford GT. It might just be the best supercar in the world. Pitted against the might of the newer Audi R8, this will be a titanic duel across the racetrack.
