This is the Ford GT40 that won the 1969 Le Mans 24hr race. A bit. Actually not at all. But it"s as close a replica as you"re ever likely to find, because it"s been built as a result of "full access" to the original, race-winning GT40. And unlike the original, race-winning GT40, this can be purchased without the requirement of auctioning off, say, a kidney, or other vital organs/possessions you might want to keep hold of. A company called Superformance who"ve done some cool things in the past along with Safir GT40 and Gulf are building the replica GT40 racers having had a good ol" look at the original. So the toolroom copy" cars are recreated "perfectly both aesthetically and mechanically".
