Superformance GT40

First in the Superformance GT40 line up is the MKII A, a quality re-creation of the original that beat the 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”.

GT40Superformance 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.

Notes:


1. Data for 1966 Ford GT40 from: Road & Track, Oct 1966, Portrait of the Le Mans Winner, Technical Analysis.
2. 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.

Monocoque Chassis:
Advantages of Monocoque Design:
 Low weight.
 Chassis can be part of the bodywork.
 Greater rigidity when compared to space frame of similar weight.
Disadvantages of Monocoque Design:
 Design is difficult to analyze using traditional methods.
 Greater material cost.
 Specialized construction methods.
