The GT40 was actually a pretty derivative design – with a chassis and overall structure partially borrowed from Lola.

But the GT40 as it came from Lola was not a winner right away. While the Mark I GT40 is a bit more pure, and a lot more beautiful by many eyes — it was not a race-winner.

The GT40 started winning races with the Mark II GT40 with its huge air scoops, front sill spats, and other aero mutations to the overall design.

But still – it is hard to argue with the clean beauty of these initial concept prototypes.
