In 2003, Superformance ventured into the GT-40 continuation market. After pursuing many avenues, Superformance acquired the original drawings and jigs that were used by KarKraft, one of the two original manufacturers of the GT40 during the mid 1960s.
At this point, a licensing agreement with Safir GT40 Spares Ltd. (holders of the GT40 trademark) was signed. This marriage allowed Superformance to produce exact continuation cars of the original GT40 with serial numbers to match. As these cars were exact to the 1960s versions, they were approved for inclusion into the GT40 registry.
The dry sump Ford SVO aluminum engine block in Trusty’s GT40 MK II displaces 416 cubic inches with a 9-1/2-in. deck, a steel crank, Oliver rods and Yates C3H heads. Fuel is controlled via 58mm multi-port throttle bodies with digital ignition and electronic injection atop a fabricated multi-port intake manifold. This combination produces 715 hp and 666 lbs.-ft. of torque.
The transaxle in Mike Trusty’s GT40 is a ZF five-speed, the same as used on GT40 Mark I cars since the four-speed transaxle used on the Mark II cars “was unobtainable at the time,” Trusty said.
The suspension of Trusty’s Superformance-built GT40 is identical to vintage GT40 race cars, and its parts are interchangeable with the vintage cars.
