When he leans on it, absolutely exhilarating

The other day I saw what I immediately recognized as a Ford GT in my rearview mirror. . . But I was surprised to find as it approached that it was the new redesigned GT, not the old one. It was still an absolutely jaw-dropping car.

I've been watching you the last 3 years James. Never once have I seen you squirm like you did driving this. Absolutely glorious.

This channel deserves far more exposure than it gets. There are lots of youtubers showcasing and featuring interesting cars, modified, rare or expensive. But none manage to convey the driving experience to the watcher as well as this guy. Always descriptive and honest, full of facts, knowledge and interesting stories without being edited to within an inch of its life. If LLF, JayEmm, OG and car throttle collaborated you’d have the new top gear.

What a quote.....only a sip....not an entire bottle....your reviews are so compulsive thanks

That must be an item ticked off the bucket list! The thing sounds amazing.

A ford able Dream cars

The excitement in your voice... gotta love that feeling Jay 😀

I always thought of Ford with their millions as the establishment sticking it to the man which was a tiny factory in Italy who were more interested in going racing than making load of money selling cars.

GT40 was first seen by me in the 1960's TV show the Avengers featuring Emma Peel, I was twice smitten that day.

That is one of the most glorious car engine roars I have ever heard!

Total Headturners has become Jay's equivalent of CNC Motors. Thanks for the good content!

The 355 is stocking and stilettos, the GT40 is open topped timberlands and daisy dukes

One of my favourite cars, even if I am not at all subscribed to the popular 'history' assosiated with it. A replica of it certainly is a dream car!

My fav episode. The car is fantastic, but the unbridled joy in Js voice is truly heartwarming. Lovely stuff! 🙂👍

Great to see you enjoying another car from THT. Alex and Mark were very good to me when I bought a car from them earlier this year. Covid is tough on everyone but really tough when your livelihood depends on mobility. Support Total Head Turners for we need specialists to keep the passion alive.

In the '60's my boss had a V8 Bristol, nice, but next door the owner of Bristol Sand and Gravel had a (real) GT40. Everyone in the office stopped to watch whenever it burbled past. Don't thing I ever heard it firing on all 8, but even so it was absolutely wonderful.

Loving the new intro! This car is utterly amazing, I drove one on a supercar experience day, with the gurney bubble. So planted, so powerful and the feeling you get is out of this world 😍

Yes my dream car reviewed by the best car KZfaqr.

Even though it's in your affordable dream cars series it still seems like an incredible achievement seeing you report on this beauty 😍 well done Mr Emm👌

Hard to beat the xj220 but this comes close. You are a very very very lucky man

And I am happy you obliged 😁😉 what a sound.

Another great vid. Fabulous car and an awesome sound. You win the internet today!

Another one of my dream cars, perfect video, you deserve way more subscribers

I love the passion you have for all things automotive. what a beautiful car. im still touched from your video on driving the Corvette. you've had me thinking about what car would instill that type of passion in my life.

Really happy to see you so happy. My earliest memory of a special car moment, was in the back "seat" of my uncle Jack's e type jag, hitting 110 on a dual carriage, over a bridge somewhere in Bristol.

I don't care that it's a replica - it's the spirit of the car that counts, and from what I can see the spirit is preserved 100% Nice one, as always

Excellent review. More than just a car. For me, it’s up there with the Porsche 917. History, passion and pedigree in abundance. ❤️

What lovely things these are, would love to have a go one one some day. Ford did a pretty good job with the remake GT, but to me these originals are just night and day more special.

looks and sounds amazing

What a great experience. I have ordered my RCR GT40. They made 18 cars for the movie. I am not going for brutal and original. Mine will pass smog inCalifornia. I am getting a local custom shop to give me a less brutal interior. I’ll insulate for sound, etc. I’ve got Willow Springs just up the road which will be fun.

Great review! Really appreciate the variety here.

Love this, that GT40 is amazing.

Proud of you mate

Amazing! What a thing it is to drive your dream car :-) good work!!

You lucky [beep] to drive that Jay! What a car. Loved Le Mans '66 too which is now my favourite film despite the obvious tradgedy in it.

Wonderful stuff James 👍

Wonderful car, thanks for sharing.

This video put a huge grin on my face!! Thanks so much for lots of amazing content!

They say you should never meet your heroes. Glad to see that in your case they were wrong - excellent video!

I bet Enzo Ferrari had a genuine hatred of the GT40 😂😂😂

beautiful experience

Driving from the back seat 4:48. Impressive

Love the car, if I had the money I’d have it in the Ken Miles livery from 66, nice to see you enjoying my work run roads through the Rodings and onto Ongar, also did I see you driving a McLaren on the same road a couple of days ago?, enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

Wonderful car! Probably, the coolest & most historic race car the world has ever seen.

Awesome video jayEmm!!!

Great videos as always, well done! You sound a bit like Murray Walker.....maybe we can have you on F1 commentary 😉👍

Beautiful car I love them. That Gulf liveried one is gorgeous

Gorgeous sound, gorgeous car!!

One of the greatest cars ever dreamed up ❤️🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Awesome car. Keep up the good work.

At this point, with modern performance cars beein as incredibly fast as they are.. I'm thinking the sensation of speed is actually more important than actual speed. This is definately one of my dream cars. Really hope i'll be able to afford one at some point.

I love your channel and videos. But i love the old intro way better. the one without the pop music. It suits the quality of your channel better in my opinion. I could really tell you have that production background from the old intro on.

Great review of a dream car

May you continue to review cars which move you to this level of automotive nirvana and may you one day find a replica Ford GT40 on your driveway! Epic video - I actually felt excited FOR you! 😁😎👍🏻

superb video!

Whenever I go to total headturners I really lust over the gt40s they have.

Brilliant car, brilliant video.

Thanks for the content Jay. A 427 side oiler example would be something entirely different from the pedestrian 302 in this. The Superformance cars are amazing...if you ever get the chance to run one..jump on it...especially the LS spec examples.

Love it a lot wow want one bad

Lovely car iconic design , fantastic story - I’d have one on a turn table in my front room

The man who built this car has done an amazing job it looks better than the real deal Cheers 😊 great job 👍

Great car and great video - very inspiring stuff :) Personally I might lean more toward the Shelby Daytona Coupé though. Perhaps the slightly modernized Superformance version. Seems just a tad more "practical" and still has the pedigree and still looks and sounds ace. If I could dream I'd wish there were more replicas of the Bill Thomas Cheetah around though. Lovely insane little monster of a car!

This video made me happy and smile.

If I remember right, the gt40 was designed in great Britain. Absolutely beautiful

What a fantastic car. Totalheadturners are great and if i had the money they would be the first company i would be calling for a gt40. Did you also manage to get a chance to drive the Noble P4?

great vid as always James....Gt40 vs cobra??

At first I was taken aback... The now ex Ford GT and this share so many similar lines that I thought for a moment that that _was_ a Ford GT and not a GT40 (although the frontend looked different somewhat), especially since the paint job looked so similar, down to the stripes and except for that added "40"... I was not even sure after the first shots inside the car. But then there was the shot when you sat on the door sill. Then I was definitely convinced that this was not the 21st century homage car. But with videos it's sometimes hard to tell.

Thank you for this

Glorious.

It would look gorgeous in gulf colours sky blue and orange

Darwin Award winner made me laugh out loud! Lockdown is full,of em....mad drivers thinking their immune to heavy metal vehicles and viruses no doubt!🤣. Great vid and what a car!!!!

“An unsighted bend,” what we call a “blind curve” in the States. Part of the fun here.

Some details put me off but gotta love a GT40.

Great cars, loved to hear how happy it made you feel to drive one after all these years. A small point, the camera you're using on the rear deck facing forwards suffers badly from rolling shutter. Spoils the shot completely.

The Superperformance version is far more accomplished and can even be had with a/c.

Best sounding motor ever

Nice video, Jay! Thank you. 🙂 IM 😎

Its been 25 years since i built my Tornado and yes .... I still laugh like a little girl when i give it the beans....

I could never describe these things as beautiful. For me, they always look like badly put together kit cars. It I wanted cramped and noisy, yet fun and iconic, it would be a Caterham for me any day of the week.

@JayEmm - two months on, and so many great cars later, has that impression lasted? As I watched this I was actually thinking of the Exige 410GT. Not the same I know, but when I imagine owning one, it would compete for the same slot in the garage (an hour out on some roads to have fun). There are not many cars that would make me think the Exige is the really practical alternative, but this is one. :-) Judging by your reaction driving this, the peak fun of this “GT40” might be about as high as it gets though. How do you feel about it now? Any differently?

I have to have one of these... I just have to have one.

nice upload, however I'd question the "its a slow car, a lotus would...." I'm only saying this as many years ago I was at a track event & several GT40 reps had already made it out onto the track (I wasn't driving!! only watching etc) anyway 1 driver was certainly putting his foot down with a very spirited drive & he was flying past many many 90-early - 2k supercar/sport cars, they weren't driving slow either... (if memory serves me correctly the GT40 driver did get flagged) however I have seen that car several times on a track (I'm not sure if its the same driver) with a good competent driver I'd happily back him in a GT40 over many other cars/driver combinations. pps yes the ford V Ferrari is a good film, my only complaint is I only wish they kept more original facts within the film rather then dramatizing it & adding a lot of false/changes to true events, I'd have happily sat through a 2-3hr film showing the full story...…….. anyone reading this I'd also add watch a real le-man's race or story found on utube just regarding that race series alone you'll understand what I mean afterwards.

I'm trying to think of a car you've driven that you laughed and smiled and exhaled and your voice cracked this much... 🤔 Nope.... You *nEEEEEEd* one of these cars!

I would daily drive one of these if I had one. GT40's are bad-ass.

A few people have enjoyed it recently. On total head turner web site it lists 480 miles.

I was doing about 60 😉

Not affordable, but I'd feel that way about a Lotus 25 repro.

I giggled a bit just reading the title

Really awesome car JayEmm. A new subscriber here because of the subject matter. I am building a 1928 Morgan Aero RIP special. The original (only one exists) is a wooden framed, aircraft fabric covered JAP motored Morgan three wheeler with a GN solid rear. I am scratch building a 1928 Morgan Aero with an opposed twin , turbo-ed, a wooden over metal frame. The aircraft engine will be mated to an MGB transmission with 4 forward and one reverse gears connected by driveshaft to an MGB rear differential with beautiful black wire rims. I am certain there will be tons of pictures and videos.

Beautiful beast... Even if it is a kit car

beauty

Bib starts up his Peugeot 106 diesel and reflects on how lucky he is to keep living the dream....

Starting to really like this channel

Think the Louvre panels are from Screwfix lol.

Although Holley will be easy to tune and upkeep, it's kinda sad that this does not have 4x of Webers or Lucas injection (or some more modern variant with throttle bodies). The lack of proper induction sound is just wrong. Otherwise bang on. So sad that one cannot even get these sort of replicas registered in my country.

Jay is like a cool Schmee 😂

Well, I watched that bugger twice 😂🤗

James....... when you said 5 litre my immediate thought was wtf? I was certain that a 7 litre existed. Paused up, quick Google search, ah - different version...... I know for sure that your research is rock solid but I had to double check. Haven't seen the film. Nothing wrong with a replica when it keeps a piece of History alive! Sorry Mr/Mrs Purist - please don't hate. Love the vids and, yeah, the GT40 gives me the raging horn 📯🎺 👍

would drive me mad all the imperfections (all the rusty bolts and hoses), but it is kit car.got to expect it
