Actually, even though they read Ford GT on the side, Ford still referred to them as the GT40 Concept, which means the GT4 one is improperly listed.


Correct. Ford successfully licensed the GT40 name for the concept, but only the concept. When the production version was announced, the kit car company smelled opportunity and demanded big bucks to keep using the name. Ford decided not to pay and renamed the car.

The main NCS page even has the Ford press release, referring to it as the GT40, not simply GT.

Not the same car--the side stripes are much closer to the production version. The Sega car is a very early build.

It's the exact same car GT40 concept from Sega GT 2002, but the graphics have been censored and the name changed.

In fact, the '66 GT40 is also called simply a "Ford GT" in this game as well. Remember, Ford's legal battle with the kit car manufacturer who owned the GT40 name was ongoing when this game was made.

I think you should blame the uploader, not admins :p It's a GT but not the production version
