Ken Miles And The True Story Behind 'Ford V Ferrari'
Still, even in death, Ken Miles was an unsung racing hero. Ford intended the J-car to be a follow up to the Ford GT Mk. As a direct result of Miles' death, the car was renamed the Ford Mk IV and outfitted with a steel rollover cage. When driver Mario Andretti crashed the car at Le Mans 1967, the cage is believed to have saved his life.
