Ford came to 1982 Le Mans with the new C100 model (named as it would be 100 cm high). The car was based on an aluminium monocoque design from Len Bailey. The first chassis was built by Hesketh Engineering while Alain de Cadenet got two more made, debuting at Brands Hatch in 1981. The project was then transferred to Ford Deutschland, working with the German Zakspeed racing team. The C100 was powered by new Cosworth DFL V8 3.96-litre 540 bhp engine. Two cars were entered with Manfred Winkelhock and Klaus Niedzwiedz in one of the De Cadenet chassis, while a new Zakspeed chassis (with design updates by Tony Southgate dropping 40 kg) was assigned to Marc Surer and Klaus Ludwig. Both cars retired due to electrical failure after 71 and 67 laps respectively.
