Superformance Ford GT40 MKII - One Take

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 เม.ย. 2016
- Want to feel like you're Dan Gurney sticking it to Ferrari in 1967 at LeMans? Look no further than the Superformance GT40 MKII. Built nearly identically to the original GT40 cars with 95% interchangeable parts, this GT40 MKII features a 550 HP Roush 427 Small Block V8, 5-speed transaxle, and one of the best views out a windshield available anywhere at any price. This GT40 is also loaded with options such as Air Conditioning and Wilwood Brakes, and is available as a turn-key car for around $165,000. Considering the originals sell for deep into the 7-figures, we think it's a bargain.

This has to be one of the most timeless designs on a vehicle.
Agreed
+Garrett Johnsen (Temecula iPhone Repair) Yup. I'd argue it still looks better than any supercar on sale today.
+Garrett Johnsen (Temecula iPhone Repair) Agreed!!
Agreed ! Looked shit when it was made, and it looks shit now :D
all that money and no FE?
You can spend millions on an original just to look at it, or spend less than a couple hundred grand and actually be able to enjoy it. It's an amazing machine.
Or if you can afford the original, you buy both, admire the real one and kick the shit of the replica
+Pierre Belliveau or you could buy this and a bugatti veryon as a daily...lol
DantEightSix or you can buy an original and do what it was meant to do, drive it. Race cars are not meant to be owned by posers.
@@Miatacrosser And ruin its value like a fucking idiot
@@God-mb8wi not driving a race car like it is meant to be driven is like refusing to fuck your virgin girlfriend when she's begging for it--youre just ensuring the real experience goes to someone else.
"Clutch is heavy, gas is heavy,...'ARMS SPAGHETTI'." Well, at least that what instantly popped in my head.
I'm thinking,"I want to drive this thing right now".
Ford's scaredy
He's nervous but ready to drop bombs
mom's spaghetti
PapayaMan Thank you
I don't want it...I don't want it...I don't want it...I NEED IT!!!

I bet this car made loads of people's day, just seeing one on the road
It'd sure make mine. although the rest of my drive would feel pretty damn mediocre. That's just one of those cars you can only dream of...
Passed me in Miami the other day and he was going over 100. This sounded unreal and the smell of the exhaust
So appropriate to watched this now after seeing Ford vs Ferrari.
etravix exactly
Amazing movie
This car is a legend
Same here.
Tho i thought the original was a right hand drive
Bloody hell the noise.. why would you want the new ford GT? This is SOOOOOOO much better.
+ToyotaGT1Racer The new one looks awesome, but the fact that its not a V8 and has the word "eco" in it disgusts me.
+DesertStateInEu Yeah, Ford let down the fans with that one.
And I was told by a battery car fan boy that exhaust notes don't exude the spirit of a performance car, I can never imagine myself driving a car and hear nothing but wind and road noise...
Spushed
Theyve got that covered. You can hear engine sound from the speakers. Amazing right? lol
The new ford gt has the engine it has because that's where endurance cars are going. While a v8 would be amazing (twin turbo voodoo....) it would be. mind of disingenuous. I like that the gt40 looks forward, not back.
2200lb wtf with 550hp?! That's insane haha I'd die driving that.
Alot of people have.
@jeff deathrage no, they are definetly recreations.
And remember the Shelby Cobra 427. Same engine, even smaller, open-top car.
@@SigTheSauceMan Death machine!
xCkillaxC my dads Toyota Yaris is 2300 pounds... but only 106 bhp ;-;
I laughed so hard when the bug hit the camera and you moved your PiP display slowly up to cover it. lol
Saber008 haha
matt - the voice balance to engine ratio is spot on. excellent video!
true
+steve goodwin You don't notice it, but it is so true. You hear everything even on low volume.
I think the audio as a whole is amazing in this video. I don't think I've heard a TH-cam video with speech so clear.
+steve goodwin
Whatever they did to fix the audio issues has worked out wonderfully
+darek4488 Leno needs to take a few cues. I swear the volume of the voices on his videos are all over the map.
170K? thats a steal considering how much a real one costs and how(allegedly) accurate they are.
85 % of rolling chassis is interchangeable with the original only diff in parts is for safety upgrades
@anima9271979 and left hand drive lol
Also 95% interchangeable
@Lord Goarmagon $46k if you want to build it yourself, excluding the engine and transmission I think.
I know the owner of the company who builds these in South Africa (Hi-Tech Automotive). I’ve been to the factory many times and I can tell you the GT’s and cobra’s are as close to the real thing you will ever get. Carroll Shelby himself licensed them and Superformance (they work in partnership with Riverside Racers in Canada) to build continuations. Doesn’t get closer to the originals.
only $165k? I hate to say it.. but that's affordable...sorta kinda if i tilt my head, close my eyes and imagine...
Lmao
+lvcsslacker lolz that's what I thought. there are way more expensive cars than this. Sounds sick!
+lvcsslacker it's not that bad if you think about it, it's pretty much a restomod without the headache part haha
Its seems like a good deal when you see the level of detail.
+lvcsslacker cheaper then orginall :D
This is why I'm late for work
Dat bug cover up was on point 😂
Wasn't aware they reproduced these. Always was a fan of the GT and GT40. Too bad more GT90's weren't produced, that would be a treat to get behind the wheel of one of those!
**GT90s**? lol
@@BobbyTuckerThe DOHC, quad turbo, V12 concept they did in the 90s... There is only one.
Today I'm truly jealous. I want that car in my garage so badly.
J.C. Cutler me too
.... or this by your wall

If I had the bucks I'd go right hand drive right hand shift just for nostalgia. That's awesome.
"This thing must look so boss on the road." Hell yeah
Please Matt, find any excuse to do another one take with one of these! Maybe a MKI or something, I don't get tired of these GT40s.
For all the ladies out there: Matt's biggest turn-on is turning radius
Matt 'Turning Radius' Farah ;)
10/10 would daily
Brent Moore same
Might have a broken backbone but fuck it
Your head will hurt after half an hour no kidding. Great sound but people underestimate how loud it is
I was at the Nürburgring in '11 and there was a camp quite close to ours which had 2 GT40's. We talked to the kind owners who said that they were original (i atleast remeber one of them beeing) and they were a mk1 and a mk3. Every morning at around 10-11 am, they would take their GT40's and drive to the ring, and you could just hear the V8's roar and rumble through the woods next to the road. It was quite the experience!
I'm only 20 years old, from Hungary, but I always thought of the GT40 MKII as an ultimate dream car, especially because of the vintage style, and feel. I don't think, that the newer GT could ever reach this level. Thank you Matt, now I know, that there are "affordable" ones out there too!
I really enjoy your One Take series, always dreamed about living in California and having a nice car, to take to the canyons, and you keep that in my mind with these videos, so Thank You again, and keep up the good work!
Rob
Róbert Neumann the company ships cars to Europe lol
Holy shit, this is my dream car since I was a kid. I really enjoyed watching you drive it.
I was getting ready for school.... now I guess I'm watch TST lol
Lol I was just about to head to class myself 😄
Make that 3 people
+Aidan red All tree of ya'll better put some respeck on school and watch this later
I have a calculus final... And here I am.
+Daniel Shulman is you finiss or is you done
Literally just saw one of these at Bentley Gold Coast in Chicago with the Gulf Racing livery, super cool car
The reflection of the headers in the door "roof" panels is just the coolest freaking thing ever...ok its one of many of the coolest things ever about this car.
Amazing a car with that kind of power to have AC and heated seat as a freebie not a bad buy 4 under 200k
I was stoked to see this car on your channel Matt original or not its still freaking awesome! Those bug splats make me laugh too haha.
Coming from a younger guy... I saw this video while at work, and was giddy as all hell to get home and watch it! One of the top one takes!
I honestly had goosebumps watching this video and hearing that engine bark when you downshifted was epic! I was thinking the whole time this is a very very good replica of what is essentially Automotive Royalty ... Thank you Matt I truly enjoyed this video and i could feel the same sense of "Specialness" in your voice as you described it ... Brilliant!
What are you going to do if you ever hit 2 bugs?
Been some real special cars lately on here Matt, Really enjoying them! Keep it up!
This is a true dream & proper platform that would never grow old . Their is no car that could keep up nor catch me in this ! To relive 1966 to 1969 has to be the Ultimate on this planet ! Thanks for sharing !
Us older guys definitely appreciate it ! I was there in '66 when Chris Amon and Bruce McLaren led the 1 2 3 finish. I had tears of joy.
If I saw that car driving down the road I'd likely wreck looking at it.
zeake13 True story: My Dad was a car nut and in our rural small town back in the 1970s the driver of an oncoming car spotted my Dad's Citroen DS21 coming toward him and wrecked!
God, I love 180 degree headers!
In some little way I live vicariously through Matt, and today was a good day.
After having a terrible weekend, seeing you have that much fun in a wicked machine totally made my day. So, jealous right now! Rock on, Matt!!
This sounds like an actual bargain
Matt thank you so much for this video! The superformance gt40 is my dream car, because Ill never be able to afford a real GT40. ...Then again I probably cant afford this ever either.
🤣🤣 I feel you bro!!
Buy the ford gt 2005 :D
Matt, I really enjoyed your comments about Dan Gurney and those drivers who made these cars famous. I had lunch and got to drive a few years ago with Bob Bondurant and John Morton at Willow Springs. Leaning on the pit wall and talking about the "Old Days" with these two guys, who were on Shelby's team in Europe in those years, was indescribable for a life-long car guy! One of the things that I thought was interesting was when Bob said that they never knew from one day to the next which car in the garage, they were going to drive. Shelby would make up his mind at the last moment and tell everyone what the day's plan was.
I could go on for pages but you'd run out of patience and pages! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience which I'll treasure for ever. -Gary
Something i've never seen driven in NYC. I rather see this than all these Dodge Vipers in Long Island, NY.
The Classic Car Club of Manhattan has one. They take it out all the time
+David Ha Or Corvettes in Staten Island.
You're doing an awesome job Matt, keep up the good work m8:)
Matt, you have some of the most entertaining yet honest videos out there. You seem very down to earth, knowledgeable and a true enthousiast. Great content. Love this car to death
One of my favorite one takes, watched multiple times. You can really tell Matt had a genuinely good time driving this classic.
I'm one of the younger audience members, and i adore these cars.
1:43 best drive-by sound. 👌🏼
I had a CAV GT40 for some time actually. CAV was a company out of South Africa that worked with a San Diego company to import "kits" that were then completed in the states and titled. The one I had ran a 351 with webers and an Audi transaxle. The car was also equipped with Wilwoods, knock-off wheels, an a very similar interior. I sold the car for 67k and from the sound of Matt's review, was a very similar driving experience. Mine also had heavier steering, an a racing pedal box. It's one hell of a driving experience, I will say that. Super visceral, very aggressive view out of the car, and if the a/c doesn't work you're screwed. One of the funnest cars I've ever driven though. I took a 9 year old kid for a very spirited ride in it, he still talks about it to this day. Kid said he was never sideways, so we went up the road sideways through 1st and 2nd gear...left a nice deposit of GT40 dna on the asphalt.
This was incredible to watch. I love the feel of how these cars look from the seat when you drive.
The audio is fantastic. Turn up the volume because the real sound is when it is loud.
1:43
"I can't say how fast I was going... But it was a real number"
OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD! I want this so bad.
That has to be one of the more beautiful sounds I've heard in my life.
Matt, hats off, this is the best one take on the Smoking Tire and believe me, I saw them all more than once. Such a beautiful car, traffic is on the heavy side but the road and scenery around are really good,, your knowledge and commentary at it's best as usual. The part from 7:25 is especially epic, I was really moved by watching this recreation of history on full throotle.
Thank you for all your free one takes, this is by far the best car show on the internet :)
The terrible things I would do for one of these.
Fr fr, i aint gay but give me 30 min. n i can make it worth your while!😂😂😂
+ronnie kirtdoll For a car like that... I'd be anything you want. lol
Punk Nation 💯👌
SPC Imaging you don't have to do a lot of terrible things for this instead th-cam.com/video/Wm0QqMTeIMk/w-d-xo.html
Like, work hard and save money? 😱
I will admit, the turning radius on that thing is a LOT tighter than I thought it would be. I was sure that flip-around would end up turning into a 12-point turn. I was also wondering just how the hell he fit in that thing, until I found out he basically yanked the seat out.
I do'nt think I've ever been more envious of you, Matt. I've always, always wanted to drive one of these--real or fake, I wouldn't be picky. Unfortunately for me it's not going to happen unless I win the Powerball.
I am glad that I found Superformance recently because the GT40 has been my dream car since I was a teenager. Now that I'm entering graduate school to get an advanced degree in medicine I can hopefully save for one of these over the course of 5-10 years and finally obtain the dream.
I'm 22 and I don't hate this car at all. In fact it's one of my favorites out of any car, old or modern. I couldn't imagine how connected you feel not only to the car but the road itself. Beautiful machine
You should make a montage of every bug that has hit the gopro, and then the casual cover-up
Happy Monday.
I am a young fella. I had a ride today in a Replica in New Zealand. It is simply a raw proper car. I would definately love a rental programme for the Ford GT40 replicas. I will never forget today
I'm going to bed and dream about how good this car sounds. So damn sweet!
It seems like a lot of car for under 200K
+Michael Montefusco It definitely is. Honestly, if you want a car to absolutely demolish any Cars&Coffee full of Ferraris and Lamborghinis, roll up in one of these.
+Michael Montefusco If I had $200K and could only buy one car with it, it'd be this. Hands down.
Definitely would rather own this than a Ferrari or Lambo. It looks, sounds, and drives amazing.
+VirusTornado A lot more unique than any ferrari or lambo too.
+Aces High That's what I am thinking. I live in Jupiter FL and I see 458's and Bentley's like I see Accords. NO ONE is gonna have anything as cool and unique as this. I do see a lot of bad ass classic cars around here but a GT40?!?!? Naw...
I almost pissed myself, it's so beautiful
Great one take Matt. Fell in love with this car in Gran Turismo 2 as a kid, then after learning the history and Ford's battle against Ferrari at LeMans I was ecstatic to hear they were building the GT, and again now with the new one. Thanks for showing this to us and I'm glad you enjoyed your drive! Keep up the great work!
You can tell when you laugh how fun it is to drive! You understand it and we live vicarious through you! Thank you...
This is so cool! i'm surprised you fit in it!
Lol bug hit the go pro. Just cover it with Matt.
You seemed really, really chill throughout this drive. Like you were between "scared shitless" and "this is the best day of my life".
Amazing video through and through and an amazing replica.
My favourite video of the gt40. Gives a good idea of what it might be like drive one of these.Very well put to gather, thank you
That was one cool car. Best one take!
2200 lbs ?!! Crazy !!
The moment I saw this thumbnail I clicked instantly. I have a detailed 1/20 model of this exact MkII (#2 black with gold/brass wheels and everything). This is a timeless look and design in the realm of automotive racing.
Matt. ... that sound gave me an Eargasm!
thanks for the awesome video ... keep them coming
I want left hand drive and right side shift.
that's just regular center shift.
They have it in RHD and right side shift
Best one is left hand drive with sill shift on the right of the car XD
for those who dont know freedom numbers 2200 lb = 997kg :D
For those who aint anal retentives "A TON"
For those born in the 1800s
2200 lb = 2.2 kips
Still one of the most awesome looking sports car ever built period. Even after 50 years. British design and Detroit iron.
Eric Broadley and Roy Lunn made a great team - The borough of Bromley should be proud :-)
Liked before it even started playing.
Nice review. I'd rather drop 160k on one of these than 450k on the new ones.
As a younger guy(17) I CAN appreciate this car. I don't even particularly like Ford but this car is a legend. I will work my butt off and will own a dream car one day. Hopefully this or a viper
You will never see or know about these beautiful cars unless you're an enthusiast, given that TV only shows you Lambos and Ferraris, but this car is a work of art and engineering, specially the 2005 GT40
Imagine seeing this turn up at your local track day and not being any the wiser to whether it's real or fake, $170k as well is a bargain for a car that is 99% the original GT.
+S Miller GT40* Even more raw. It's basically a race car.
Anyone else watching because of the Shelby v Ferrari movie?
The Ford GT40 MKII by Superformance is the one car that I can't wait to own.
I could never find a good review of it on TH-cam.
Thank you Matt for doing a proper review.
The best one take so far, that car is amazing! Nice one Matt, thanks.
Matt how tall are you?
+Joe Cribben 6'3"
+TheSmokingTire Same as me! At least I could fit in this car i'll never own.
+Joe Cribben ok so if you can fit into the Exige, then I wont have problems haha
+TheSmokingTire that's a big Jew😁😳
+Joe Cribben i would fit too! hahahaha awesome! i'm 6' 1
It's legal! It's legal!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this beautiful sports car with all of us!
that little face cam placement change when the bug hit was hilarious hahaha.
How many tickets have you gotten shooting one takes? If i drove like that as much as you do around the backroads of Indiana where I live I would be in jail....
boy do us british know how to build a car :D
+Nick Nack They sure do! As long as the electronics are done somewhere else. Anywhere else.
harsh, but true. same with the french too.
+Nick Nack British cars are beautiful, french cars on the other hand are very ugly for the most part
+TheSmokingTire hahaha haha
+TheSmokingTire Yeah how true, Lucas electrics and lights were know as the 'Prince of darkness'. I'm so jealous of you driving my favourite GT40 the mk2, I've been waiting for a replica of the mk2 for years and now I think I'll be contacting them to build me one. I'll have to have the right hand drive with right hand gearshift and a 'Gurney' bubble.
the most beautiful ford of all time to me. theres nothing better. i grew up watching old footage of this at le'man giving it to the ferrari's. so so sick
GATTDAMN. The visceral impact of this video came across so perfectly. So glad you got have a solid session in that cockpit, Farah.
Is that 2 filler caps for a single gas tank in the front?
+Casey Weaver yes, so that in LeMans you could have 2 guys filling it at once to make your pit stops shorter.
I have small testicles, will i be able to drive this vehicle?
I'm 16 (a younger guy) and this has been my favorite car since I was 9.
The second review of yours that make me smile all the way with the Hennessey Venom GT.
What a machine !
Shit like this makes me proud to be an American
+JDMxlove Don't get me wrong, I'm proud as hell too but... just wanted to make sure you know the GT40 was made by the British... lol
+JDMxlove Be proud of something else, these are made in South Africa.
+Arthur Sperotto yeah I know but that ford badge
JDMxlove Slapping a Ford badge on an MG doesn't make it American lol. The only GT40 that was actually American was the Mk. IV. All other ones, including the Mk. II in the video were designed, engineered and made in the UK. Of course, that doesn't make it a bad car in any way. We can still be proud of Carroll Shelby being an American :-)
Arthur Sperotto wrong, designed by Ford 100%.
