This is a Superformance GT40 replica. The guy driving it just picked it up in Vegas and is taking it to Mexico, where he is the sole Superformance distributer. He also has a Cobra replica in polished aluminum and a Shelby Daytona Coupe. This car has a Roush 427 that sounds absolutely sick.

Awesome. I love that paint scheme.

Paint scheme doesn't do it for me at all. The car itself is badass!

Yessir, painted in Gulf livery colors. Paint was flawless.

The Gulf livery paint scheme is my favorite. They flew the colors again at LeMans this year.

NAKID · June 30, 2009, 10:48:06 AM

I understand the history behind it, doesn't make it any more attractive to me...

Superperformance are some of the best replicas out there. They got the molds from Safir in the U.K. who got the original GT40 body molds didn't they?

bluemoco · June 30, 2009, 12:20:25 PM

Very cool.

Just a guess, but I bet it sets off plenty of car alarms.

NAKID · June 30, 2009, 01:01:38 PM

Superperformmance are pretty nice, but I'm partial to Factory Five Racing...

Tell you the truth I don't know. It does have an actual Ford assigned vin.
