Overall Performance
The Ford GT40 MK.I has a stock top speed of 261 km/h (162 mph) which is slightly above average for a Class C car. The GT40 has good acceleration but a weak nitrous output. It also has a very slow first gear which can leave the car behind in the start of a race. The handling of the car is responsive and has good grip. The GT40 can suffer from understeer since it tends to be tail-heavy, and due to its grip it can become an uncontrollable car. Upon launching off jumps, however, the rear lands first, making for a very rough landing, which can make the car lose a lot of speed.

The GT40 can do well in Pursuit Outruns and Team Escapes, where its low ride height and wedge-shaped front end means that it can crash into roadblocks and go right through them. It can also collide with rhinos with a heavy impact but due to its weak first gear it can be hard for the GT40 to recover from a major collision.
