No Reserve Classics proudly presents this 2018 Superformance GT40 MKI, 427 CI, 5-Speed Manual, Right Hand Drive Pro-Touring Restomod!
Power comes from a Roush 427 CI V8 featuring eight individual throttle bodies, each topped with polished air filter housings. Gumout-style valve covers, silver ceramic-coated headers, and a detailed engine bay showcase its motorsport DNA. The engine is paired to a Quaife 5-speed manual transaxle, delivering direct, mechanical engagement. A battery disconnect switch adds race-inspired functionality. Cooling and airflow are optimized through functional side air intakes and race-bred ducting.
The exterior of this 2018 Superformance GT40 MkI is a striking tribute to one of the most dominant endurance race cars ever built. Finished in iconic Gulf Oil"inspired Light Blue and Orange livery, the car immediately evokes the legendary 1969 Le Mans-winning GT40, capturing the unmistakable visual identity that defined an era of international motorsport. Superformance builds its GT40 models using licensed and correct blueprint specifications that faithfully replicate the original Ford GT40's proportions, stance, and structural layout. The result is a body that is not simply inspired by the original-but engineered to mirror it with precision. The car rides on staggered 15-inch BRM-style pin-drive wheels secured by polished knock-off spinners, wrapped in Avon CR6ZZ race tires. This combination preserves the correct vintage motorsport stance while delivering modern grip and performance capability. Even the smallest details reflect historical accuracy-period-style lighting, proper body contouring, and correct panel fitment reinforce the authenticity of the build. Superformance's use of proper construction methods and adherence to original GT40 specifications ensure that this car maintains the visual and structural integrity expected by serious collectors.
The interior of this 2018 Superformance GT40 MkI stays true to its endurance-racing roots, faithfully replicating the compact, driver-focused layout of the original GT40 using correct blueprint-based dimensions and right-hand-drive configuration. The cockpit is trimmed in black leather upholstery with fixed-back racing seats featuring ventilation grommets and Willans multi-point harnesses, creating an authentic competition feel. A leather-wrapped steering wheel on a quick-release hub sits ahead of a 200 MPH speedometer and full Smiths instrumentation, including oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature, voltage, and fuel level gauges. A roll bar and removable rear bulkhead reinforce the race-inspired environment, while GT40-branded carpets subtly refine the space. Though purpose-built and mechanical in character, air conditioning has been discreetly integrated, allowing this Le Mans-inspired machine to remain both authentic and road-usable.
Beneath the surface, this 2018 Superformance GT40 MkI is engineered with a monocoque-style chassis architecture that closely mirrors the structural design of the original Le Mans-winning GT40, built using correct blueprint specifications and proper construction techniques. More than two-thirds of the rolling chassis components are interchangeable with original GT40 parts, reinforcing its authenticity and engineering integrity. The suspension features adjustable coilovers for precise handling control, while Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes with slotted rotors provide confident stopping power. A Quaife 5-speed manual transaxle is integrated into the rear-mounted drivetrain layout, supported by a transmission cooler for durability. Additional functional details include a front-end lift system for improved drivability, an aluminum pedal box, engine bay roll bar, and properly routed race-inspired ducting-all combining to deliver the structural rigidity and mechanical feel expected from a true GT40 continuation build.
