My dream car used to be a 2006+ Ford GT. But this car is so good looking and so visceral! Not to mention I could realistically work my way into one of these, seeing as the ~2006 era GT is now pushing $250K+. Seeing Ford vs Ferrari really reminded me of why this car is my favorite car of all time. Beautiful car with an incredible heritage. Ford ingenuity at its finest. An amazing underdog story.

[@marcryvon]

[@bastiancarlos5317]

What about Copyright on these replicas? By the way I ask because I'm from Chile and importing a replica could be troublesome. ¿?

[@briandouglas5552]

Superformance is licensed by Safir, which owns the GT40 trademark, and these cars are recognized as authentic by the GT40 registry. The MkII is also licensed by Shelby Automotive and is eligible for the Shelby registry, as well.

It should be a 289 or 302 (The #6 Ickx/Oliver GT40 ran a 302). The car in the video sounds more like a 427 or something bigger.

[@CastleFsUczN5nnK]

This is a "replica", I put that in quotes because it's such a perfect remake of the original, that it's registered as an original GT40, and it's WAY cheaper, and with more features like air conditioning.

[@nzzx1]

Castlemaster712 true and considering how much the original P/1 cars were modified by privateer teams, these P/2 units could still mechanically be seen as more original than the originals

[@ABCTEST213]

This car is a replica/kit car of the original ford GT40 from the mid 1960's it's got a 5 speed dogleg transmission and multiple engine choices. Edit: these are facts from the Ford GT40 replica/kit car from superformance. Note these are about the replica from superformance not the original and not any replica other than the superformance.
