Ford GT40 Race Car '69

The Ford GT40 Race Car '69 is a race car produced by Ford. It first appeared in Gran Turismo 2 and has been featured in all subsequent mainline games up to Gran Turismo 6.
The car appears to be the #6, driven by Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver, who has finished the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1st place overall.
==Description==
"The Gulf livery GT40 that won 2 Le Mans titles in a row."

==Trivia==
*In GT3, the car is fitted with AVON Tires, but the actual car had Firestone ones instead. The GT2 and GT3 car models also have no sponsor logos, with only the Gulf logo being present on each side. GT4 shows the car fitted with the correct tire branding and all sponsor logos from the original car.
**AVON Tires makes tires for vintage purposes, so it's likely they modeled the car while it was sitting on such a set.
*The description of the car claims that the name "GT40" was only a nickname; however, the name was in fact officially used by Ford themselves with the production Mk I, Mk II, and Mk IIIs being numbered GT40P/1000 through GT40P/1145.
*Among the game files for GT2, there is an older, incomplete duplicate of the GT40 model with a 'GT40 Mark III' logo. The GT40 '69 was the third version of the car to race, however it was actually a modified Mk I after rule changes banned the Mk II, hence the name in-game being corrected before release. The real Mk III was a more luxurious road car.
**Two entries for "Ford GT40 Mark III Normal Model" and "Ford GT40 Mark III LM Gulf Color" can be found in the Japanese manual, although it is likely the former referred to the Ford GT40 '66 and the latter referred to the used GT40 Race Car.
*The car is the most expensive standard/simple car in the PS3-era games, costing 20,000,000 credits.

As stated above, the car originally had "AVON" tire branding in this game, which was replaced with "Firestone" tire branding in subsequent games.
