Description:
Superformance GT40P/2177 MkI ‘Gulf’—Gulf Blue livery, all period-correct. This GT40 replicates the appearance and the menacing persona of the 1969 24 Hour Le Mans–winning GT40. If you’re perhaps confused by so many GT40 look-alikes, rest assured that your Superformance GT40 is an authentic GT40 Continuation Car. Superformance is the only make to be accorded GT40 chassis numbers. Superformance is an industry leader in the replica business, and has gone as original as possible without sacrificing quality or drivability. The steel monocoque chassis is built and prepped the same as the original GT40s. These GT40s are fitted with custom Bilstein coil-over type shocks with springs set up for an optimal blend of handling and ride. The brakes have been upgraded from the dated Girlings of the ’60s to Wilwood’s ‘Superlite Series’ of 4-piston calipers. It’s set up with factory air conditioning, which is deftly concealed in a reconstruction of the original dry-sump oil tank. BIG Photo of rear/engine deck: Click Here! This Forty has logged only 115 miles—test miles only. It features a fully warrantied Roush Performance powerplant (starting as a 351 Dart block, punched out to 427 cid) producing exactly 515 dyno-evidenced horsepower and 525 ft./lbs. torque. It’s finished with a polished manifold, black billet aluminum valve covers, and is paired with a fully-polished ZF-based transaxle.
