Ford GT40 Replica

The Ford GT40 is a race car produced by Ford between the years 1964-1968. Best known for winning the Le Mans four years in a row.

Exterior: The Ford GT40 body kit and frame are from Bailey Edwards Cars in South Africa. Completed in Jaguar’s Opalescent grey colour with orange striping. All stripes and stickers can be removed. The wheels are Bailey Halibrand with Nitto NT01. This Ford GT40 Replica looks and sounds amazing driving down the road.

Interior: The inside of the car is just like the outside very race like. Seats in black leather. Removable steering wheel to make it easier to slide in and out. It has a fire extinguisher system (OPM) that can be activated both from the inside and the outside of the car. It does have AC to make it more liveable during hot days.

Engine: The start-up of this engine will surprise most people who are thinking of a normal Ford V8. This Ford sounds and feels like something completely different. The throttle response is so direct and you can tell this is a fast car just listening to it revving up.
