Superformance create absolutely stunning continuations of classic 1960′s Le Mans cars.
The Cobra, The GT40 and the Shelby Daytona Cobra are all famous in both their design and their performance at LeMans.
These cars are stunning and very rare, especially in the UK and you can purchase one brand new now!
The Superformance GT40:
The new Superformance GT40 Mk I and Mk II Continuations are precision crafted, authentic re-creations of the Ferrari beating, Le Mans winning GT40s of the 1960s.
So authentic in fact, that more than 85% of all the component parts are interchangeable with the original cars’, including the entire ‘monocoque’ chassis itself; in addition chassis numbering continues from those of the original 1960′s production run (GT40P 2000 Series).
This new GT is hand built by Hi-Tech on the same production line as the renowned Noble M12 GT, in their factory in South Africa. The same innovative techniques and exacting standards ensure the very best build quality and finish, from the pressed steel roof to the flawless GRP composite body, bonnet, doors and boot.
The GT40 Continuation is unique in its intoxicating combination of the raw exhilaration of a thoroughbred GT racer with the awesome performance of a modern day supercar.
However, what is unique about both this new GT and the Shelby Daytona Cobra, is their intoxicating combination of the raw exhilaration of a thoroughbred GT racer with the awesome performance of a modern day supercar.

The Shelby Daytona Cobra:
The Shelby Daytona Cobra is not just a replica of the legendary championship winning ‘Daytona Coupe’ of 1965. It is a sophisticated high performance GT, the car that would have been built had the designers had the benefits of modern computer aided design, and not been constrained by the short deadlines and tight budgets typical of racing in the 1960s.
Peter Brock designed the original Daytona Coupe body in 1964. In all only six cars were built, each hand made and therefore unique.
In 1996 both designers were reunited by Jim Price of Hi-Tech Automotive in pursuit of a vision. He wanted to create the definitive Daytona Coupe, not by replication but by drawing on history to produce a new modern car, better than the original with spiritual ties to the past.
So given the best resources, not just to recreate their original designs but to take them forward and evolve them, Peter Brock, Bob Negstad and Jim Price developed the Shelby Daytona Cobra – a modern day supercar that transcends its heritage, equally at home on the road as it is on the track.
