Recreation, continuation, replica. Call it what you like, but there's no doubting that the Superformance GT40 looks like a multi-million pound racing car.

Visually, at least. There are some differences. The body is GRP with a pressed steel roof rather than the original car's aluminium, and there's a small block V8 in place of the original's big block (although you have the choice of both).
