![Is this the greatest racing film oat?
In “Ford v Ferrari”, one of the most important
moments comes when Ken Miles takes the GT40 out for a test run after it’s fitted with its massive new 7.0 litre V8. The scene captures a turning point in Ford’s effort to challenge Ferrari at Le Mans, with Miles pushing the prototype hard at Ford’s Dearborn test facility.
With his trademark intensity, Miles immediately feels how the car responds to the raw force of the 427 cubic inch engine. The sound, speed, and feedback through the steering wheel signal that the GT40 is finally becoming something special.
The moment isn’t just cinematic drama, it reflects real history. The big block 427 gave Ford the power it needed to fight Ferrari, and Miles’s deep mechanical understanding played a key role in shaping the car’s behavior on track.
Despite Ford pouring more than $25 million into the program, it was experiences like this, Miles sensing every detail from behind the wheel, that turned early prototypes into Le Mans winning legends.
