Yeah.
Henry Ford Jr. had it purpose built to win LeMans after Enzo Ferrari scuttled a deal for Ford to buy Ferrari's racing division. Ford was so pissed off that he essentially spared no expense to try to build a LeMans car in about 18 months.
After a couple of stumbles, the 2nd (maybe 3rd) iteration of it just dominated everything. Won pretty much every race they entered it in.
All because a rich guy got his feelings hurt.
