SUPERFORMANCE GT40
A quality re-creation of the original Ford GT40 that beat Ferrari, famously sweeping the top three positions in the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966 and again in 1967 with the GT40 MKIV. In 1968 and 1969, GT40 MKI number 1075 became the only race car to win Le Mans for two consecutive years. In developing our exhilarating GT40 continuation, our engineers went to great lengths to ensure authenticity. It is NOT a kit car or replica, it is a genuine continuation GT40. The Superformance GT40 MKI, MKII and GT40 R competition are numbered with the original GT40-P chassis numbers and are listed in the Shelby Car World Registry and official GT40 registry.
SUPERFORMANCE GT40 50TH ANNIVERSARY
The 1969 season proved more challenging as competitor cars had become lighter and more powerful. The Le Mans race was the focal event of the season The GT40’s hoping for a fourth or fifth place finish.Over the winter there was a shuffling of drivers, as Jackie Ickx, now recovered from a broken leg, took over “GT40P/1075” and Jackie Oliver was brought in to match his speed. To start the race Ickx made a visual statement concerning safety. As all others sprinted across to be the first away, Ickx walked across the road. The other drivers also started without seat belts on. Consequently, P1075 was last away, but Ickx was well buckled up.

HIGH-TECH MKII
Designed to emulate the great Cobra 289 race cars from that nostalgic golden era of racing in the 1960s. The MKII FIA is the 1st licensed continuation of the original AC-derived 289 Cobra that first appeared in 1962 winning 5 races. Loyal to the original lines and proper nostalgic characteristics of the origianl 1962 Cobra FIA, this car is built for the heart-racing 289 motor and a more modern Tremec TKO transmission. The MKII FIA can be tracked or street driven.
Unlike most competitors, the MKII FIA is built on the successful Tojeiro-styled round tube chassis and features an authentic transverse leaf spring suspension to give owners an exceptionally authentic driving experience. Through our exclusive agreement with Carroll Shelby, the MKII FIA is a licensed Shelby.

SHELBY DAYTONA COBRA
The Shelby Daytona Cobra is not just a replica of the legendary championship winning ‘Daytona Coupe’ of 1965. It is a sophisticated high performance GT, the car that would have been built had the designers had the benefits of modern computer aided design, and not been constrained by the short deadlines and tight budgets typical of racing in the 1960s.
Peter Brock designed the original Daytona Coupe body in 1964. In all only six cars were built, each hand made and therefore unique.

CORVETTE GRAND SPORT
In 1962, with the blessing of Chevrolet’s senior management, Zora Arkus-Duntov initiated a program to create a competitive road racer based on the newly designed Corvette C-2 Stingray™.
Duntov’s objective was to use the element of surprise to unleash high horsepower, superior handling race cars to the international road racing community. He based his racer on the footprint of a street capable/legal car.
The Corvette Grand Sport racer eventually qualified as a GT production car within the realms governing international rules and regulations.

Looking great, Nigel and Oli - are you keeping it (blank canvas) white or striping it in any way? Will organise to come down and have a closer look when we're all "released back into the community"...! IanC
Lovely looking car
New arrival at HQ. Very exciting news to announce about this car when the time is right...stay tuned.

It was sad to say goodbye but our MKII is now enjoying life in Scotland. More photos to come. We had the legend Trevor Legate photo the car before it was delivered this week.
Look forward to sharing its replacement with you when we have factory photos...
Scotland 😉
Road test before delivering our MKII to its new owner. Wish we had more time with this car. It is stunning to drive. Real 60s throwback. Looking forward to delivering it and showing you all what it is being replaced with once its replacement is competed at the factory.
Contact us today to learn more about the beautiful MKII.
Mmm....thinking I need some Oxblood leather!
Great photos of a Superformance GT40 on track

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Nice colour scheme! Lucky boy.
une nouvelle Superformance en France 😘
Who else is looking forward to getting back on track?
With a chassis designed to win at Le Mans, which it managed multiple times, there is no more pure on track driving experience than a GT40. No driver aids just you, one of the best chassis in the history of motorsports and a raw V8 pumping out all the ponies.
Oh... and you can drive it to and from the track. You too can own the icon. Contact us today: oliver@lemanscoupes.com
We love delivery day! Another beautiful MKI GT40 arrives at LMC HQ and this one is off for self assembly. Our cars arrive as complete rolling chassis units less engine, transaxle, tyres, battery and fluids. We specialise in finalising the build to your spec and registering the cars, but can also sell the cars as rolling chassis (turn key minus as it's called in the USA) for the ultimate project. The cars are painted, have a fully fitted interior and all suspension, brakes andplumbing are fitted and ready to go.
Contact us today for full information.
Black pipes, looks raw. Finally get to tune the engine tomorrow. Last 2 dates were either snowed or rained off. Looking forward to seeing what she's got.
Well, at over 500bhp it should be exciting...
There used to be a very good company called “Hometune” in your immediate area...😉😆
Is the ARB position standard now? Much more sensible than mine - and many of the originals had theirs the same as this!
Spartan 001 of 300 is in build and in the coming months will be tested in Australia before shippong to the UK as our demo and test car. So many exciting features we cannot wait to share with you but for now, here are further pictures of the final prototype. Lots of aero work and engineering has gone into this machine, it is set to be a real giant killer.
Looks great! Share more details.
