Built by Olthoff Racing in Mt. Ulla, NC, this Superformance GT40 MK II is as close to an original GT40 as you can get. In fact this car is so authentic that it is officially recognized by the SAAC GT40 world registry and, according to Superformance, can interchange 90 percent of its parts with an original car.
I don't think the extreme, purpose-built nature of the GT40 really occurs to most people until they see one up close and personal. At just 40 inches tall, the driver is more or less lying in the car rather than sitting; and that low slung profile, when combined with the car's buckled down front end and sawed off tail, create one wicked looking creation. Weighing in 150 pounds lighter than an original MK II, this Superformance GT40 utilizes a traditional pressed steel roof and high quality fiberglass body panels for a sealed and noise-free construction. On top of those panels, a contemporary and timeless coat of Sunset Red and Titanium basecoat/clearcoat creates a look which will have people marveling at its reflections for hours on end.
Looking to maximize both power and curb appeal, the previous owner of this GT40 decided to opt for a killer $26K Roush Performance 427IR. Creating a stout 10:25 to 1 compression ratio, 427IR number 488 utilizes a forged steel internally balanced crank, forged steel H-beam rods, Wiseco forged pistons with plasma moly rings and lightweight pins, a Roush proprietary cam, high performance aluminum heads, and hydraulic rollers to produce 560 horsepower and 540 lb./ft. of torque on a premium pump gas. That air/fuel mixture is supplied by a fully CNC ported intake which receives air from a Weber-style eight stack induction system, and a Roush calibrated electronic fuel injection system which receives fuel from a high volume electronic fuel pump. Fire comes courtesy of MSD High Performance ignition which utilizes a dual-sync distributor to send spark through Roush plug wires. And lubrication is supplied by a high output oil pump that draws oil, which is cooled by an original-style oil cooler, from an eight quart powder coated oil pan.
The bottom of the GT40 MK II is as simple as it is technical with the entire undercarriage, save for the engine and rear axle, being covered in aerodynamic, flat black belly pans. The chassis is a well-constructed original-style monocoque set up which rides on an original style front a-arm and rear coil spring suspension. Turns come courtesy of traditional manual steering which combines with front and rear original-style anti-roll bars to provide the tight cornering GT cars are known for. Stops are provided by a modern four wheel Wilwood Superlite brake system which includes four piston calipers, braided hoses and vented rotors. And behind the engine, a $10K RBT ZF 25DS-2 5-speed manual transaxle sends power from an aluminum flywheel and McLeod hydraulic throw out bearing directly to the rear wheels. All that power flows to the ground through precise looking 17 inch Halibrand style wheels that are fitted with anodized spinners and 245/40 front and 335/35 rear Michelin Pilot Sport radials.
This GT40s interior is every bit as nice and authentic as its fiberglass body. Original-style bucket seats wear upgraded leather surfaces with authentic silver rivets and Willians 4-point racing harnesses. At the front of the car, an original-style dash hangs a correct Smiths gauge layout, which includes a 200 MPH speedometer and 8,000 RPM tachometer above an original-style adjustable pedal box. At the bottom of the car, an offset driver-biased tunnel holds a repositioned shifter and standard emergency brake above like-new black carpet which displays colorful "GT40" embroidery over original-style door sill fuel tanks. Above those fuel tanks, original-style Hartswell door latches and catches secure doors which feature both basic door panels and driver's side controls for the standard equipment air conditioning system. In front of the driver, an original-style removable steering wheel features a colorful "GT40" logo at the center of gloss black spokes and a leather rim; and behind the driver, a Lexan window provides constant monitoring of the 427 engine.
Few cars can carry the legendary heritage of a GT40, and this Superformance MK II is certainly worthy of the name. Call, click or visit RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information on this awesome car! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
This is an all time iconic car that will forever be remembered in the automobile hall of fame.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR IT WAS TIMED ON THE MULSANNE STRAIGHT AT LE MANS IN 1966 AT 245 MPH.
Before they added the "chicane" good times.
Cannot forget ken miles
This is the most beautiful car ever made.
Michael Brown sorry, 250 gto, c3 vette. But this is damn gorgeous

@@trevorflanagan4873 Sorry, but Michael is right.
Music to my ears
If you turn the automatic closed captions on it actually says (music) when he revs it.
This is such an amazing car!
How Cool Is That! I've Watched A Couple Of Documentaries About The Le Mans With A.J. Foyt & Dan Gurney. I'll Probably Never Get To See One & It's Certainly In A Class All By Itself!
This is very beautiful
It's so beautiful.

Watched this video 5 times in just two days!!
That needs an actual FE side oiler TUNNELPORT!

Awesome car !
Could someone please clarify what a MK11 is. All my reading says it was a car built by Carrol Shelby with upgraded engine and suspension mounting, a 427 engine with a single Holley Carb driven through a highly modified Ford Galaxy 4 speed gearbox with a shifter on the right side of a Right hand drive cockpit,. It had a top speed of 205 mph at I think 6200 rpm, even though the engine had a redline of approx 7000 rpm . This is the car driven to at least the first 3 places in the 1966 LeMans. The source for this info was Road & Track and Sports Car Graphic from that year.I believe the first 2 cars ( Miles\Hulme and McLaren\Amon )had this configuration of engine transmissions. Please if there were other configurations of the MK11 in 1966 I would be very interested.These cars fascinate me as no other race car does. I have seen a Wyer GT 40 running but never a MK11.I was under the impression that the Holman Moody cars ran the same spec. One extra point Bruce Mclaren,Denny Hulme and Chris Amon were all New Zealanders and you wouldn't get three tougher guys if you tried .Amon was bloody unlucky looking like he would win lots of Grand Prix only to have a mechanical failure or someone else's accident take him out. I still vividly remember him driving a beautiful 2.4 litre Ferrari F1 car in the Tasman series. This was a beautifully built car and was used in the first year of the 3 litre formula. (A long time ago). I know that a replica MK11 was built for Chris Amon, whether he got it while he still could drive,I hope he got a chance to drive it. If anyone knows where I can find more info on these fabulous cars please let me know, I would very much appreciate it. These guys were my heroes as a kid particularly Denny who I saw a number of times when he was really chatty, he was an amazing story teller. When there were crowds around though he was quiet and earned the nickname the "bear".
it is actually a mk2 or mkII not 11
@@migo9625 Yes I know . I just couldn’t be bothered correcting it . I have seen a Gulf GT40 close up, but never a MKII . I love the look of these cars. .
Got a couple of queries. The engine the original had 1 Holley carburettor. This one has multi carbs of fuel injection explained in the body of the video. Same goes for the transmission, 1 holley carb. Did the Alan Mann cars have the same FE engines. Does this car get a GT40 body number.
What a machine.
She so awesome I Dream this baby will be in my crib beautiful just beautiful 🤩❤️🤩❤️🤩❤️..!!!
Just a question is this not regarded as a replica, because the Mk 11 had one Holley carburettor and of course no door trims.
Yes the original FE was an all business stamped valve cover single 4bbl mill actually tuned down a bit for reliability…
@@stevoschannel4127 Thanks
you spent a lot on a copy enjoy
Abraço de Portugal 🇵🇹
wheather it is model or real car ...so realistic
They should have hinged the doors on the top center panel like gull wing doors.
lot of unnecessary weight
Perhaps consider using proper 15" original rims and tires.
Is it crossplane crank ?
Yes, the 180 degree headers give the "flat plane sound"
the same engine as the 65' Indy 500 winner?
Not even close.
a lot of experts commenting on a car they drove in a video game.
it's a repop fake car. not the real deal.
always rev cold.especially if u r macho.
jquest43 we didn’t see if had been warmed earlier! Pretty sure they’d know what they’re doing dude 👍
So what's the price tag? 160k?
Had to come here after watching a Tesla vid (just to see what all the fuss is about). I needed to get the sound of manhood back into me after that poofter Tesla nearly emasculated me.
Wow it has Weber style carbs and fuel injection!
Fuckin amazing!!!👊🏻👊🏻👌👌
Are you scared to put a price in the video?
This is not a FE motor fellas!
Agree!!! Must be an FE. This is not.
It would have a much bigger purchase price with an FE motor.
Should be an overhead cam FE?
427 roush stroker is better than an old side Oiler, but you can order one if you desire.
F.E. 427 is the way to go. drop a 428 crank, add a rollor cam ,lifters, rockers. In the end you'll have a 454 F.E. Stroker Screamer.
I disagree, id much rather have a small block 289 or 302 like the '68 and '69 cars, far better balance and even moreso, far better aesthetically as well.
You lost me when you revved it cold !
Talon/typhoon/staelth
A nice car but without a side-oiler...FAIL
Atleast give us a privilege to know at what cost range it got sold.
Replicas go from $150k-$200k.
Kevin Rey ACR These are NOT replicas. They are licensed as the year they duplicate. That is why they are licensed by the marque holder as CONTINUATION SERIES cars.
Ckryse S $125,000 cad for everything excluding the engine and trans. A lot less reused. I saw a rolling chassis for less then $80,000 usd.
What, no tilt wheel?
Fahve hunnerd and somethin harsepower
Why does it have both blue spoked wheels and red at the same time, it's hideous like that
To distinguish which side they go on when racing.
How much for this fake car....
I mean it's in the video. Looks pretty real to me. A little chassis plaque doesn't make a GT40 a GT40
The Mark I looks better.
Just one MASSIVE mistake...why build an authentic replica, and then place the steering wheel and gear shifter on the WRONG side...imho making the car pointless!!! Sorry
Because, in the civilized world, we drive on the CORRECT side of the road.
massive? your an idiot, when a replica is considered "authentic" its not because of its "degree of accuracy" but because its been given proper repertoire by original equipment manufacturers foreboding behest. These cars don't exist so you can see a few pictures or videos of it online, and then invoke a subsequent thought or two about the original..... They are built and exist to be DRIVEN and ENJOYED more importantly by the owner.... and thus the car being on the streets today just promotes more awareness of the story and background of the original car, and building upon its great legacy. This cant be done without making proper concessions for it to be usable. Like Air conditioning, and superformance can indeed build one with right hand drive and even right hand shift with that as well... but if you live in the U.S., I gaurantee you if you owned one of these, that would get old, QUICK. The original car was only built that way because the circuit de larthe is run in a clockwise direction. Pretty stupid to own a car that you drive on the public streets thats otherwise set up for one small enclosed stretch of 8.5 mile road......
Well worded, Very well worded.
The originals were right hand drive because they were purpose made - beat Ferrari at LeMans. LeMans turns are mostly suited to right hand driving position for weight distribution through the primary corners. It wasn't RHD because of the Brits.
The originals were a mix of left and right hand drive.
