  • 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.

      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.

    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.

    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

      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.
