GT40R
A true legend in looks and performance!
The Superformance GT40R is built to exacting standards – in fact over two thirds of the rolling chassis parts are interchangeable with that of an original car, including the ‘monocoque” style chassis. The Superformance GT40R is accepted for SVRA and HSR, and can be configured for FIA HTP international vintage racing.
The GT40R closely resembles the GT40 MKI with extra performance enhancements as well as weight reduction. For example, a few GT40R options are a 4 point roll bar, adjustable rear spoiler, larger Wilwood race brakes, emergency power shut off, and race sway bars.
