Superformance Ford GT40 | Future GT40 | Supercharged Coyote Making 650 hp!

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

Back in the 70s, my orthodontist had a GT40 I'd always check out. As a teenager I'd read Autoweek and lusted over a couple of GT40s raced at LeMans listed for sale at $10K. No one bought them because of the "energy crisis." Imagine owning a GT40 that raced at LeMans.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Wow!! Can you imagine?? Thanks for the comment and story here 👊

[@djsonfire0001]

The design of that car was way ahead of its time! It's like you want to ask who went in the time machine into the future and then came back and designed it! Love the rawness of both cars

[@AutotopiaLA]

Danny Smith I completely agree with you. 50 years later they still look relevant and the raw performance is intoxicating

[@BobbyTucker]

I gotta say, I've been a GM man 'dyed in the wool', grew up in Flint, Michigan, 70 years old now and the GT-40 is leading me astray. I want to feel the power of that 427 engine. I've been the route with everything GM up to the LS7 and the ZR-1, this is my first time on your show and I'm subbing, leaving a thumbs up and clicking on the bell,however, I'd like to see a little more behind the wheel time. Thank's for sharing guys, I enjoyed it.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you and I understand the appreciation for what they do. Would love to take one of their Mk1’s out to the track and shoot sometime

Wow indeed this is a nice more modern rendition. While I do love the coyote motor and the ability to supercharge or twin turbo charge it, I still dig the Windsor but I wouldn't be too picky with either one. Glad Superformance is keeping this dream car alive.

[@johnrobie9694]

Love the "mashup" idea, and the livery. Not sure I love the sound of the coyote in this case though. I had a Backdraft Cobra replica with a Coyote making 420hp at the wheels (a little lighter than the GT40). I loved that sound. Maybe the GT40 is just overpowered to the point that you never really get to hear the Coyote screaming at 6500 rpm.

[@dmdproductions1570]

Hi John. You can definitely get it screaming - you just need some room to do it and Shawn was being extra careful with our car, which we appreciate! Check out an upcoming episode of Head 2 Head on MotorTrend where Randy Pobst takes this car out on track!

[@AutotopiaLA]

John Robie I’m with you on sound but I was going really easy. Not my car and almost no seat time. Would love to hammer on it but will wait til I buy one. The cars these guys build are simply incredible

[@pnorski]

Great video! I have a 68 mustang fastback with a coyote and a Roush super charger. Making about 600 to the wheels. It is a great motor and very reliable. My car is about 3700 lbs and it is really fast! I can’t imagine having almost 1000lbs less. I do how ever consider myself ‘old school’ and would have to go with a John Kasse 427 big block. Just can’t have enough of the cubic inches! Keep up the great work!!

[@Roddy_Zeh]

Seeing this vid only makes me think of one thing...DAMMIT FORD, YOU HAD ONE JOB! If you're so obsessed with EcoBoost technology, why not throw that into the Coyote? You've already done that with the 2012 Mustang Cobra Jet prototype, I'm sure it would've been even more of a world-class killer than the tiny V6!

[@allensaunders449]

Fords engine won lemans and can be reliable for 24 straight hours. Plus the new fordGT mk2 is a car i would take anyday. I mean i like this too but

[@Vampirebear13]

Engines getting smaller is the government's fault, not the manufacturer's.

[@Roddy_Zeh]

@@allensaunders449 I know that. Call me old-fashioned, but I still think they could've gone V8. :(

[@Roddy_Zeh]

@@Vampirebear13 Maybe, but that didn't stop them from developing a 7.3L V8 for their heavy duty pickup trucks. Sure, apples and oranges, trucks are not sportcars, but it seems to me that Ford isn't willing to bring the EcoBoost technology to the V8's. Would've been great, though, 'cause I feel they'd be giving even more of supercar levels of power to the masses, even more than already is with the Mustang GT, GT350 and GT500, which use N/A (GT/GT350) and supercharged (GT500) V8's. I always say that the biggest problem isn't downsizing itself, but cutting down the cylinders...Aston Martin, for example. They went from a 5.9L V12 (advertised as 6.0L), naturally aspirated, to a 5.2 twin turbo...but still keeping the V12 configuration. That was a good thing, because they know the emotional value of their V12, and buyers wouldn't accept anything less. Yes, I know they've got models with a V8, but the V12 buyers go for the V12. If you cut down the cylinders, that's when enthusiasm starts falling, even if the new engine is much more efficient and powerful.

[@dmdproductions1570]

That's the beauty of our Superformance cars, you can choose whatever powerplant you want!

[@MrMrBigro]

Hi they should build a mk1 Capri and mk2 Capri with either that coyote or the EcoBoost engine

Hi Luis - We have one right now with a Roush 427 Windsor with 8 stack EFI and it puts out 560HP, so about 100 less. You definitely get a different sound with the pushrod engine and 560HP is more than enough!

[@thomasgreen1557]

I'm curious of the transmission setup. Considering the stick is on the door sil and not even closely aligned with the engine. I just don't have the knowledge of how they can do that?

[@dmdproductions1570]

It is a solid rod going back to the transaxle. It is actually better than a center shifter which relies on cables to work their way around the engine to the side of the transaxle. With the Sill Shifter, the steel rod has a pretty straight shot back to the transaxle and provides incredible feel and shifting.
