How Superformance Made the Perfect GT40 Replica

- Опубликовано: 19 фев 2024
- In the world of racing, few cars have the revered presence of the Ford GT40. It became the first American car to win at Le Mans in 1966, and would go on to achieve four consecutive victories at the iconic race. In the decades that followed, dozens tried to replicate the sensual curves, roaring V8, and unruly soul that stirred the hearts of auto enthusiasts at Le Mans. But perhaps none have managed to capture that feeling as accurately as Superformance. Manufactured in South Africa and powered by a selection of authentic Ford V8s, the Superformance GT40 line are considered 'continuation cars' since they carry on the original GT40 chassis numbers. These highly detailed replicas are nearly identical to the genuine racecar- making them highly sought after in the enthusiast community.

Superformance is actually the largest privately owned car manufacturer in the world.
I think Morgan makes more cars per year, and they are all factory built....
@@marcusott2973 Morgan is owned by Investindustrial
@@marcusott2973 I'll agree with that one ..
Gonna have to start suing quickshift for dropping these banger videos while I'm at work. Bro out here trying to get me fired 🤧
The ultimate homage .
Those lady’s are built with soul and scream like no other👍
$153K for the chassis? not bad. Sweet ride, thanks for the video.
South Africa mentioned!! 🗣🗣🇿🇦🇿🇦 🔥
This video brings me great joy
Glad you enjoyed it!
I nearly ordered a complete GT40 replica from ERA, but the NJ company stopped making them and I got married instead… Good to know SuperFormance still makes them. 🥰
That’s my dream car

I love your channel, Bro!
I have to have a GT40 in my life... I just have to have one.
I'm currently putting the process into motion to have one built for me.
I'm going for a CAV GT+ and have an engineering company here in Australia that I've been drawing up some plans with and they've got a great track record for what I want out of it.
We've got a pretty wild build in mind and I intend to use it pretty much every day.
These are good value for the money. Yes, expensive but still worth it.
If one buys a GT40 at the right price then it's almost impossible to lose money on them and most probably gonna sell them for a nice profit or at least at BE.
@@Jack_the_rider Jack you are so right! Every year to order a new one they go up about 20%. Enjoy and at least get what you paid for it back. Can't beat that!
@@williamgreen1489 Check out the new GT40 from Vanguard...You'll gonna love that beautiful beast❤️💎
Absolutely not true, Duesenberg was the first American car to win at the French Gran Prix at Le Mans with Jimmy Murphy behind the wheel in 1921.
He's referring to the 24 hours of Le Mans, which was first held in 1923. The 1921 French Gran Prix was just 517.8km compared to the race winning distance of 2,209.536 km in 1923 for reference.
Tell em’@@freddybones2452
Try again
Go deeper in your research. The 1921 race was a Grand Prix. In 1966 the Ford GT40 was the 1st American Car to win the 24hrs at Le Mans
@@patstenson5939more British! Even kiwi
Ford made kits !! And McLaren put together the winning cars 🚘
In 1966’
On my LIST . . .
All I want is someone to make a kit version of the 05-06 GT
Superlite GT-R is really close
I love superformance
You can see the oversize Le Mans float bowls on the 3255 Holley Carburettor at 3:18
Cool
long live jimmy price
The car at 1:40 is the car to replicate!
What is it? I assume a special Shelby version of the 05 Ford GT?
Shelby sued everyone and he was correct to do so.
Are used to go to the Boise, IdahoSuperformance shop every day when I was moving away from Boise so I went there at least four times, and it was the best experience of my life being able to see these replica cars in the best shape they can possibly be was a breathtaking now that I have a 240SX with a clean title. I just realized how much that’s worth. I am going to sell it and I’m going to buy my dream car, because I need anything to give me happiness in this world I need something so if I can trade my Nissan that I don’t care about for a God holy crap
Next time read your comment before posting. What a mess. Ever heard of punctuation?
U meant shelby performance tuning?
Yeah time to save up for a few years for that
Was the script written by or for a dealer or the manufacturer 😂😂
Uhh how much does this cost??
Lola?
250 grand gets you into a lot of compelling vehicles though.
Including this
Fran Hall's Ford GTR is better in every way!
Not for me
And of course, it's not really an American car, but a British car.......
Took Americans to make it into the car that WINS RACES.
@stevejones8660
The car was sold in factory spec to Shelby. Lola do not set up cars for the races, they design, manufacture and sell race cars.
The GT40 is a Lola. It didn't "take Americans" to make it win. Lola race cars have massive track success. In thr case of the GT40 it was Americans that bought it, that isn't to say had a French team bought it they wouldn't be able to make it win either.
And the Le Mans MK1 's were right hand drive which is a big giveaway as to its english pedigree
Boy oh boy don’t comment without true data. The Ford GT40 was designed off of the European suspension system with an American V8 inside. Not a British car 😂😂
@patstenson5939
You, sir, are a goose and should heed your own advice. More research required for you to comment on anything but the weather from now.....
bro,dont manipulate your voice so much,your making yourself sound like darth vader,but not in a good way, your voice sounds fine, and you can hear the enthusiasm and love you have for the cars. if you need more views,post a bunch of shorts,one a day,it doesnt even have to have any real meaning behind it,just a short vid of a cool car doing cool shit,make little short memes in the vid,it will grow your channel,and once you do a few youll figure out how to get them done quick. but really quit fukn with your voice
I wouldnt label it as a kit car or replica considering the stigma that comes with them and how 90% of them are terribly built ,just look at the Pontiac fierro Ferrari f40 looks like a piss job , superformance should look for a different branding name under their "replicas" because theirs is just too high quality too fit into that trashy category ,that would be better for the company and customers besides they have the license from carol Shelby himself and support before he passed away i doubt they would face any legal prosecution to rightfully change their branding ,maybe something like "continuation series" or "Authentic reproductions" i know im sounding nitpicky here whining about Branding but it does make a difference in their marketing
