Superformance GT40

A quality re-creation of the original that beat Ferrari and finished in the top three positions at Le Mans in 1966. In developing the exhilarating SPF GT40, engineers went to great lengths to ensure authenticity. So authentic, that we can legally use the name “GT40”.
Our engineers are proud of their results in creating this authentic continuation of the GT 40 MK II that finished first, second, and third in the grueling 24 Hours at Le Mans in 1966. After four years in development, production on this exclusive model began, with careful attention to detail Superformance incorporated the original style monocoque chassis and a pressed steel roof. So exact is the GT40 continuation that over two thirds of the vehicle's parts are interchangeable with the original car and chassis. The GT40 Continuation also carries the GT40 "P" chassis number and is eligible for the GT40 registry. The versions that are currently offered are the MKI or MKII "A" and "B" body styles, available in right or left hand drive, and have a curb weight of 2400 lbs.

The chassis is an exact replication of the original monococque unibody structure down to the press steel roof spider. The only departure is the use of electro-galvanized sheet steel in the construction. The chassis, at over 12,000 pounds per degree is stiffer than any other chassis on the market, and is made up of over 244 laser cut and bent or pressed parts. The GT40 continuation accurately replicates the original chassis, suspension, wheel hubs, uprights, pedal box, instruments, steering, dash, "bundle of snakes" headers, catches and latches to name a but a few.

A center shifter is standard but the continuation GT40 may be ordered with an original style sill shifter available for right hand drive models. If you have a left hand drive continuation GT40 you may want to opt for a modified sill shifter which is cable driven.
The interior features original style seats and racing 4 point harness seat belts. The GT40 continuation will comfortably fit a 95 percentile driver (6'2" X 240 lbs) by removing the seat "trampoline" support. A Racing style dash features Smith Gauges. The GT40 continuation has Rack and Pinion steering and has been fitted with a removable steering wheel for easy access to the cockpit.

We offer the following wheel options on the MKI: The standard MKI BRM style rims are 10" wide in the rear. Available on special order are the MKI BRM style 8" rims or the wide body 13" rims. The front nose access cover can be ordered in a single or dual opening type.

The GT40 continuation leaves the factory as complete rolling chassis, complete in every way except for the engine, clutch, and transaxle.

The recommended power source is a specially prepared engine with the new RBT/ZF style 5-speed transaxle but owners also have the option to fit a Ford-based 289, 302, or 351W small block or 427 big block (MKII only) engine.
