Superformance engineers are proud of their results in creating this authentic replica 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 incorporating an original style monocoque chassis and a pressed steel roof. The GT is an exact replica of the road going version of the original, with more than 90% of the vehicle’s parts being interchangeable with the original car and chassis. The first in the production line was crated and flown off to its first public showing on May 18, 2005 in Carlisle, Pa. joining the parade later in 2006 are the MKI and FIA versions.CONTACT US Today!

Data for Superformance GT40 Mk II from: Dimensions measured from GT 001 Weights from factory data for GT 002. Production drive train ratios from factory data engine specs from Roush data. 3. Superformance GT40's correct height depends on tire size and settings. 4. Superformance GT40 is lighter, primarily because of a lighter engine. 5. Difference in tread measurement is due primarily to differences in tire sizes. 6. Acceleration and fuel economy data from performance simulator. 7. Ford GT40 initial acceleration hampered by tall first gear. |
