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.

In 2017 prototype 3 of the Spartan began its development. Here is a video from day one. A really solid foundation that has been refined and fine tuned to become the giant killer it now is. Aero work is complete and production is well underway for chassis #001 of 300. We are counting the days until we can reveal the final product. But for now, enjoy watching where the end product began. To enquire about these cars or any in our range, contact us today.
Miss this car very much. So many happy memories and road trips. Le Mans, Spa, Goodwood, Silverstone multiple times, client test drives, professional drivers giving it a spin, magazine features, drives with friends, great shots by professional photographers and many more. Hope our new demo car will bring just as many memories. @rwc_photo thanks for the picture
Priviledged to have driven it! Thanks!
It's one amazing car loved driving it for the day.
Despite all us monkeys being let loose in it, it survived to tell the tale! 😆 😉
Same same but different. Front end view caught by @rwc_photo. What liveries would you choose for a daytona cobra?
Mkii (LM '66)
Happy new week. Here's a throwback to a few years ago when @rwc_photo visited. More when this lockdown is over for sure.
@venomwraps busy installing the PPF to our latest Cobra ahead of engine installation. So excited for this car to be on the road and ready for test drives later in the year.
Ready to rock roll!
Are they wrapping the whole car or just the bonnet? If the whole car how do they cope with the single piece body?
Found an article from @gt40enthusiastsclub fortification magazine from a few years ago. Great to see some chassis and complete car pics in one place.
Track focused and hunting down the giants. Looking forward to lots of track time with the Spartan in 2021.
Has to repost this @hillbankusa phot. All available via us in the UK in RHD or LHD. Which would you choose?
All three are stunning but I’d have to choose an FIA 289.
You know my answer Oliver! .... one day!
@daussinthierry capturing our former demo Superformance GT40 MKI at the 2019 Spa 6 hour. A very wet but great fun weekend
Echoing @superformancellc in wishing you a Happy New Year with the stunning MKIII-R. The modern classic.
Happy new year from us and @spartanmotorcompany. A decade of development got them to this point and we are proud to represent them. From a track only, Ducati powered prototype to a supercharged Honda Jazz development car the Spartan has evolved to a 400bhp road and track giant killer. The first production car is in build and destined to be with us early 2021. Watch this space! But for now, Happy New Year and here is to an incredible 2021
I missed the GT40 so took a quick garage snap. Registration should come through in the next few weeks then it's drive time. 427ci small block in this one so it will GO!
Thought you’d appreciate this... she shouldn’t share a stage 😉
