The GT70 project is designed by the Ercole SPADA, which served as a Ford GT40 project chief engineer’s Len Bailey was invited to help design its body and chassis, which manufactured by Ford British company in 1970. .
The GT70 is a rear driver of a homogeneous engine that is more favored at the time (because the center of gravity of the chassis is low).
Therefore, Ford did not use V8 engines mounted on GT40, but the 2.6-liter V6 engine (179 kW) and 1.6 on Escort RS were used before and after. L4 engine.
But this new GT70 chariot did not help Ford realizationThe Dream of the Bay Rally, strictly said that GT70 has not succeeded in the Rally, although the Rally King Car Roger Clark used it in the French Ronde Cevenole Rally in 1971.
The reliability of GT70 is not very high, and its body frame is not strong enough, the cockpit is still very narrow, the V6 engine is also high in the original car, in short it has Too many problems need to be improved.
However, with the changes in the rules of the World Rally, and Ford has developed a better ESCORT platform, the Ford engineer has no patience and improve the car. optimization.
1973 Ford terminates GT70 project, and this Rally is only 6 finished products in a short three-year life.

In 1979 Aston Middot; Martin built a futuristic fan Top sports cars, the goal is those who are out of the Middle East rich.
The car name is BULLDOG, which is named after the Scottish Air Training Machine Driving, General Manager Alan Curtis.
Further, it also has a “K9” nickname, from the machine dog in the “Mysterious Dr. Mystery Dr.”.
The name BULLDOG for sports cars is to show off the technical strength of the Martin’s comparable to the plane, of course, there is also the fastest mass production car on the world..
Other highlights in the appearance also include gull foil
five in the door and the center of the head Hidden headlights
Although the car is manufactured in the UK, it is a left rogue. Bulldog’s sharp wedge-shaped appearance is designed by William Towns, which has a very good 0.34 low wind resistant coefficient at the time.
