1966 GT 40 "Ferrari Killer" built by Superformance

[XxGanjaXXGOD]

well beyond a kit car like stated above,and you can build it anyway you want :D

[MegaYeshua33]

Pretty sick. But can it kill a Zonda?

[XxGanjaXXGOD]

@MegaYeshua33 when would you ever come across a 700 car on the street?let alone meeting a rich fuck actually willing to race the thing...

[MegaYeshua33]

@XxGanjaXXGOD and to think i meant to put Zonda R. How much do one of them gt40s cost?

[XxGanjaXXGOD]

@MegaYeshua33 i meant 700 thousand,but this shelby authorized kit starts at 23 grand from what i read...

[mikldude]

looks mean....sounds mean........totally awesome!

[SecularTechnology]

*British*

[1custom1234]

I guess I'm just gona have to get a sugar mama so I can buy one of these!

[yeomanrycavalry]

to all you noobs who have no clue about this car. it's made by superformance cars who under license uses the GT40 nomen. Also, it is built to exacting specs of the original. you must be extremely rich and extremely lucky to own the original. this is the only way you stand a rat's ass chance of owning an icon. also Peter Brock the designer of the Cobra Daytona Coupe backs up Superformance's Daytona Coupe. It's far beyond a kit car.

[sakoshooter48]

@DroidNoid In the Portland area, sorry! Which model are you thinking about getting, a MkI or an MkII?

[Undead666CORPSE]

baby your going to be mine one day

[DoveManufacturing]

Red with white stipes is a good color choice for that GT40........... Great job!

[tl52]

great sound. a real car.

[griley266]

:, ( just dosent sound the same in forza 3

[machone7I]

@xHeRoiiNxPSN depends. there's a shelby cobra daytona coupe and a dodge charger daytona. and a ferrari daytona.

[MOFUZION]

wheres the race with a ferrari. . .thats it just a replica ford

[MercuryMorrison1]

@MOFUZION ''Ferrari Killer'' Is a name the GT-40's were given in the 1960s. They were designed specifically to beat the dominant Ferrari's in the 24 hour Le-mans. Which of course they did destroy the Ferrari's of their time.

[MrHawkeyethe2nd]

didnt it win the le mans 4 times not three i thought it won 4 times in a row

[Cash2112]

Take the mufflers off and give it a tune.

[10mak01]

The title states by superformance which means it isn't an authentic GT40. Its more likely powered by a 428.

[eatvids]

it sounds so bad my lawn mower sounds better than that!

[XxSp0rkxX]

@eatvids ... Do you work around cars? uhm.. thats at an idle. Its tunned for high speeds and RPM. The motor is almost not even running. If he revved it you wouldn't be saying that. What your hearing is the pistons working really hard to keep it going at low RPM.

[eatvids]

@XxSp0rkxX seen a real one too man.. if he'd reved it it still sounds like crap. you like that crappy sounds good for you.. i dont i like how lambos and ferraris sound k buddy.

[machone7I]

@eatvids meh. i know what you say, most people set the idle too low and it doesnt even sound like an engine. but i personally prefer a roaring V8 that seems to say "get out of my way" than an ugly ferrari, well, not ugly really but just vulgar, that sounds like someone who ate too much tacos in the toilet. or like a rat screaming under a truck's wheels. i like lambos though. Lamborghini is anti ferrari. but their first good car, the miura, was designed to look similar to the GT.

[Ironsixx]

i think my lawn mower sounds better than that thing.

[Codesco2212]

nope nevermind lol

[Codesco2212]

its a ford gt

[FPUGUY]

@xHeRoiiNxPSN - good call, sorry was just arguing with a buddy how the daytona and cobra arnt the same... he had never heard of the daytona ( other than the superB twin )

[FPUGUY]

@xHeRoiiNxPSN gt40 came and won b4 cobras did

[xxxxxSheogorathxxxxx]

Om nom nom!

[animedrummerboy]

thats a kit car not the real 1966 gt40

[Rockit181]

Has a NOS Ford 427 in it? The engine alone must have been very very expensive!

[lomjams]

Isn't it made by CAV in south africa. Superformance are just the dealer, am i right?

[warmerstill]

u know my birthday is comming up...

[vagasduke]

Raw power,,,I love it!!!

[ashylarry0948]

im assuming this is a repro, if so what does superformance charge for a turn key version?

[XxnegociatorxX]

Yes it is a Reproduction car.

Superperformance doesn't sell a straight turn key version because then they would have to deal with pesky feds and their safety and emission standards.

But, you just have to buy the "roller" and then you ask them to put in whatever engine you want and viola, you have a car that you put no work into and is therefore somewhat turnkeyable.

Go to there website for more details.

[dalejrfan800]

It's not a reproduction, it's called a Continuation model as in the chassis numbers continued from the final Ford GT40 built. As far as I'm concerned it is an Original GT40, but isn't as valuable because of the date it was built.

[FordGTMaster]

best car ever

[gm556]

u sure its a 1966 gt40? looks like the newer 2006 gt, but i could be wrong

[alexsuchapimp]

No way it's a 1966. This is a new GT

[gearhead2k6]

@alexsuchapimp It's a replica of the 1966 GT-40. It is NOT the 2006+ Ford GT

[xr8cowboy]

its a kit car made by superformance. its fefinatley not a 2005 gt

[TheRiseagainstfan]

@xr8cowboy thats because its not supposed to be a 2005 gt, its supposed to be a 1966 gt40.... get your shit in line son

[sixtiesforever1966]

@xr8cowboy Sir Superformance does not make kit cars.

They are built by Hi-Tech Automotive in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and they come to the USA Minus Engine and Trans to pass DOT Laws. and you are right that it is not the new GT built by Ford. The Superformance GT40 is built so exact to the original that the parts can be exchanged with the original.

[sixtiesforever1966]

@xr8cowboy ) People Superformance does not make KIT CARS! It is a complete car built to tight standards like the originals. Like Carol Shelby the cars are brought into the United States minus an engine and trans.

This is how the originals were brought into the US from the UK back in 1965,and this is how the cars of today are able to register as a 1966 today. The cars are in the carol shelby registry as 1966 GT 40's

You pick the Motor and Trans, and there you have it. your GT40...

[smelyalata]

@xr8cowboy , this is NOT a kit, its built under license. The GT40® is built under license from Safir Spares LLC, the holders of the GT40® trademark. Oh yeah, nobody said it was a 2005 GT. I believe the info above states that its a 1966 GT40.

[jordtizzle]

@smelyalata it is technically a KIT since it is built years after the original car

[smelyalata]

@jordtizzle ...the GT40 was produced from 1964 to 1969. In 1963 Ford attempted to buy Ferarri but Enzo Ferrari cut the deal off and an angry Henry Ford II decided to find a company to help build a "Ferarri beater" and Lola was chosen because of their success with the Lola Mk 6.

[whitetbolt]

@gm556 the newer Ford GT was a modern interpretation of the original GT40's.

[kevrs2]

NOS,WERE THE HELL, do you even start to try and find a new old stock ,engine ,awesome!!!!

[Jeshualionheart]

there is something really wrong with that engine, sounds...awful at times...great most of the time

[noodles308]

This thing either needs some timing work or the carbs need to have the idle screw turned out a few threads

[laurenceKJ]

isn't that the ford gt??

[dannymaxx510]

no the gt is a replica of the gt40, the gt40 was built to beat ferrari in a race way back when, and it did 2 or 3 times. the gt is the street legal version if the gt40

[ahighflight]

Not that I know of unless you happen to find a block. I saw many of the 427 and 428 this weekend at Charlotte, but they were in '60s Galaxies.

[covGuk]

1969 model is better imo

i hate the air intakes on the back,

[Drummaster13]

same here. but the car is still sexy as hell. i'll be driving one in 20 years =P

[ahighflight]

Those are used for cooling the rear brakes.

Top sides are for Carb air intake

Lower sides are for oil coolers

[dannymaxx510]

wow, dumbass hello??? rear engine car front air intake=too muck fkn weight

[sixtiesforever1966]

[45Mang]

why is everybody discussing about british or united states cars? theres no such thing as american whiteman made car. america is a word for the continent. i dunnoh why white use that name to describe themselves. oh well. the ford gt40 is such a hot piece of steel that is screaming to kick sum ass!!!!

[its4estpplz]

im prettty sure tons of ppl knew that, considering the steering column is usually on the right...

[EIPtuningR32]

not to mention all americans besides native americans (indians) were from england (europe) so w/e. this car came out under an american car manufacturing companies name, not an english car manufacturers name. so in my books, the le mans winning GT40's are a big part in AMERICAN racing heritage.

[hondaishere]

Then why the hell is there so many racist bitches saying they were here first .lol

[EIPtuningR32]

hahaha.

[mikxr]

that thing sounds ready for kick ass ...... looks awesome as well.

[untoldguitarist]

That is what I am talking about pure American Muscle right there.

[shtdaprdtr]

@untoldguitarist

GT40 werent even pure American...built in England...just like the Cobra isnt even really an American car

[machone7I]

@shtdaprdtr The GT40 was american.The cobra was an AC Ace with the ford 427 SOHC engine. Shelby learnt this because of some V8 Allards. biggest engine and al ight car, makes itextremely fast, but americans did make good cars. there was a chrysler 300 powered racecar built in the 50's. looked somehow like a cobra, and was designed before it. in america. Carrol shelby did design the viper, the shelby cobra daytona was american... ive ever been in america, its just that their cars arent that bad.

[sakoshooter48]

@machone7I The Cobra had a 427 FE installed, not the SOHC motor. THe SOHC motor was a NASCAR only engine.

[machone7I]

@sakoshooter48 Oh... i though the 427(425) ci was the same in either street cars and nascar cars. Like the boss 429 or the 426 hemi, it was the same but just a bit more souped up in nascar versions.

[sakoshooter48]

@machone7I The 427 FE was also called the "side oiler" for the way the oil system delivered lubricants. The "SOHC" motor was one of those motors of gearhead legend which actually had a camshaft over each bank of cyclinders. These engines were notorious, ferocious, evil, and had the longest cam chain ever used in an engine. Although they started out as a NASCAR engine, they actually came to fame as Fords drag racing Hemi engine. This was the engine that went head to head with Dodges Hemi's.

[sakoshooter48]

@machone7I I had the opportunity to help a friend of mine install a "SOHC", pronounced "SOCK", motor in a Ford Maverick. At the time I was not a big Ford fan, much less a gear head, although I am an aircraft mechanic by trade. The first time the SOCK motor was fired up, I actually got goosebumps and had an epihany. The goddamn motor was just beating the garage to shambles, making all this mechanical sound, and snorting and farting every time we revved it up.

[sakoshooter48]

@sakoshooter48 The engine I have in my GT-40 is a Rousch aluminum block 427 which is dynoed at 556 hp and 513 ft/lbs of torque, fuel injected I might add.. I'm running an RBT/ZF-252B transaxel. I swapped out the SPAX shock absorbers and a friend of mine build a set of Ohlins shocks for it which are fully adjustable. I have had the car up to 207 m.p.h., and that is with my CHP brother tagging along. Have a set of muffled pipes and a set of divergent megaphones like the original race car.

[wawawa123]

@untoldguitarist

The GT40 was made in England. Ford never designed the car. American Muscle? I don't think so.

[drums4life555]

@wawawa123 Why does it have the blue oval on it then?

[Jfinny16]

@wawawa123

It was made by Ford in england. So it's still a Ford. Just a UK ford. 

[wawawa123]

@Jfinny16

Ford paid for it, yes. But the Ford company didn't make it. They hired in a team to design and produce the prototype. The only reason it has a Ford oval on it is because they funded it, and bought the rights for it.

[maddog24637]

@wawawa123 haha yea, and i'm big bird

[SecularTechnology]

@wawawa123

Uhh no. It was made by Fords brittish engineers. Still Ford. You now how many GMs were actually made by Opel Vauxel, and Holden...

[SecularTechnology]

@Jfinny16

Exactly.

[wdxdave]

that car is an icon. my son and me want to build a superformance one. who cares if it gets 4 mpg that power on the road is a rush. 427 side oiler ford big block.

[silverbird58]

4mpg maybe so . i'd recomend cessna 210 centurian it handles real well is faster and no raods required . well a good flight plan and checklist

[kawana87]

pssh... who cares about MPG.. its not gunna be a daily driver. Do it while you can.. when your son is old enough to do this himself, we may not even have any gas left lol.. use it while you can!!

[demonsbutterfly]

Ime Gettin" a Stiffy!!

[khenry1991]

the only real bad thing is this car gets about 4 mpg

12 if you drive slow

[Rykarduu]

And how can someone drive something like this slowly? :)

[Flap999]

That pig the Hummer gets about the same mileage as I understand it. The GT40 is what we old guys used to call an "E Ticket". :)

At least the GT40 gives something back...

[sakoshooter48]

@khenry1991 Actually I have a 427 in mine and I get about 12 in town, 16ish on the freeway, and substantially less on the track or horsing around on a deserted stretch of road. At 200+ you are getting about 4 or 5 per gallon. Just a thought!

[doommmmmmm]

the car was made in 1964 and won the 1966 lemans in 1st-3rd and kept it up for 4 years in a row!

[twenty514]

WOW! this is nice! I love the exhaust note at idle, verrrry nice!

[50908]

This 1966 car iz better lookin then ferraris or lambo any car

a classic yeah baby

[bajen3]

Wtf is the point show this?? Drive 10 yards??? And not faster then a turtle :-(

[Wappen10]

if u knew what its like to own a ridiculously amazing and expensive car, you would know that putting kms on it would fuckin kill you.

[H4x04]

My feeling is if you have enough to purchase one it should NOT bother you about putting miles on it because it should be for FUN not for show. THAT said. This car is a classic and as such SHOULD BE USED UNTIL UNUSABLE because THAT IS WHAT IT WAS MADE FOR. NOT to be sitting in someones garage.

[sky1627]

srsly....having a car sit in the garage without moving it ruins the car....the tires will get flattened and oil/gas will just be sittin in the engine collecting dirt thus messing up the engine.....if ur on the road everyone sees ur car....if its in the garage only u see the car.....

[sky1627]

yea ur right but if ur car sits in the garage too long it can ruin it becuase ull be letting all that oil just sit there and collect dirt and debri...also the weight of the car will flatten the bottom of the tire messing up the tire pressure and giveing the tire a flat spot...lol

[KMJKAlfa]

DAMN!! Hearing that at night downtown would scare the fuck out of me.

[jckracing2]

this is a Replica

the real ones are worth over a million dollars

[shelbZcobra]

yes and considering theres like 7 real left

[jckracing2]

yeah, but i'd still kill for a replica, or even a chance to build one

[KarenPonch]

oh wow it actually looks better than New One...

Rich Idiot Go Drive this thing to just bl bl bl bl bl in the parking lot

[jcargal]

OK, some of you guys aren't so far off with the tractor comments. The FE series, which the 427 is based upon, was originally conceived as a power unit for a farm implement. It's one of the worst designs I've ever seen as far as motors are concerned, but apparently Ford can even make a lump of $h!t fast. Cubic dollars, even for the sixties...

[OmegaFuckingWeapon]

why the fuck does it sound like my penis just exploded all over the insides of the engine.... i like the 2005 sound better

[YouFucked2]

Worlds fastest and best looking tractor

[jcargal]

Funny, but hardly anyone will get it.

[TehRacooonODoom]

I would upgrade mine.

It's a freakin race car, the whole spirit of them is to be the best, why give yourself a handicap?

[XBoSnIaNxX]

sounds like a fucking tractor...

[violet2048]

Road and Track did a layout on The Ford GT40 about 8 years ago, these things go for 3 million. And the owners argue over maintaining the origianl stock parts or upgrading to more efficient braking systems or exhaust, etc. These guys get together once a year in Texas, I think it is, and run around a track, some of them don't even drive their own car they hire a driver for the run. Talk about walkin' with the big dogs...

[1974mooseman]

That shit makes me sick. Rich assholes who buy these beautiful cars and dont even drive em themselves. I pay that much money I wanna be the one to wreck the damn thing and cry about it.

[violet2048]

I so agree with you. This Ford GT is my all time dream car. Since the first time I saw it. Back in the 60's. Now I've dated myself. I will drive anything just because I love to drive, but man if someone wrecked my dream car I'd go bulistic. The most exciting car I ever drove was a 1948 Excalibur. The most fun a 1943 Jeep Willys Military. But the one car I really wish I had back was my 1957 Thunderbird. The most unusual was an Isetta, yep the one Irkle drove.

[violet2048]

Did you notice the Pantera in the background of this video. Very nice.

[violet2048]

Nope I'm wrong it's either a Plymouth or a Dodge something. And a Model A on the right. Nice garage.

[1974mooseman]

Looks like a Cuda on the rack and a Duster on the ground next to it. Picture gets to blurry to tell.

[p2cruiser]

ur not fit for road use you shuld b dead and then you cant bother anybody

[RuStYeezz]

rare as hell

[PukaMan]

You should take that thing to Fiorano, lol.

[meepmeepjeep]

lol I can imgaine it:
