In terms of motorsports lore and significance, few cars rate higher than Ford’s GT40, the race car that Henry Ford II built to topple Enzo Ferrari’s domination of the 24-hour Le Mans endurance race. The first GT40 wasn’t successful, but Ford won in 1966 with the Mark II version. Just more than 100 GT40s were built, and each surviving one has become a highly valued collector car easily commanding a seven-figure price today.
Superformance, a South African company that manufactures a line of Shelby Cobra and Daytona coupe replicas, has offered a price solution—its version of a GT40 can be had for “only” $125,000.
This replica is sold without the powertrain, a strategy that circumvents emissions and crash regulations, which the GT40 does not meet. Customers plunk down 80 grand and then add the other bits a la carte.
