You can spend millions on an original just to look at it, or spend less than a couple hundred grand and actually be able to enjoy it. It's an amazing machine.

This has to be one of the most timeless designs on a vehicle.

"Clutch is heavy, gas is heavy,...'ARMS SPAGHETTI'." Well, at least that what instantly popped in my head.

I bet this car made loads of people's day, just seeing one on the road

So appropriate to watched this now after seeing Ford vs Ferrari.

I don't want it...I don't want it...I don't want it...I NEED IT!!!

Bloody hell the noise.. why would you want the new ford GT? This is SOOOOOOO much better.

2200lb wtf with 550hp?! That's insane haha I'd die driving that.

only $165k? I hate to say it.. but that's affordable...sorta kinda if i tilt my head, close my eyes and imagine...

I laughed so hard when the bug hit the camera and you moved your PiP display slowly up to cover it. lol

170K? thats a steal considering how much a real one costs and how(allegedly) accurate they are.

matt - the voice balance to engine ratio is spot on. excellent video!

Dat bug cover up was on point 😂

This is why I'm late for work

If I had the bucks I'd go right hand drive right hand shift just for nostalgia. That's awesome.

Today I'm truly jealous. I want that car in my garage so badly.

10/10 would daily

Please Matt, find any excuse to do another one take with one of these! Maybe a MKI or something, I don't get tired of these GT40s.

I was at the Nürburgring in '11 and there was a camp quite close to ours which had 2 GT40's. We talked to the kind owners who said that they were original (i atleast remeber one of them beeing) and they were a mk1 and a mk3. Every morning at around 10-11 am, they would take their GT40's and drive to the ring, and you could just hear the V8's roar and rumble through the woods next to the road. It was quite the experience!

I'm only 20 years old, from Hungary, but I always thought of the GT40 MKII as an ultimate dream car, especially because of the vintage style, and feel. I don't think, that the newer GT could ever reach this level. Thank you Matt, now I know, that there are "affordable" ones out there too! I really enjoy your One Take series, always dreamed about living in California and having a nice car, to take to the canyons, and you keep that in my mind with these videos, so Thank You again, and keep up the good work! Rob

What are you going to do if you ever hit 2 bugs?

Wasn't aware they reproduced these. Always was a fan of the GT and GT40. Too bad more GT90's weren't produced, that would be a treat to get behind the wheel of one of those!

Matt 'Turning Radius' Farah ;)

"This thing must look so boss on the road." Hell yeah

For all the ladies out there: Matt's biggest turn-on is turning radius

Literally just saw one of these at Bentley Gold Coast in Chicago with the Gulf Racing livery, super cool car

Us older guys definitely appreciate it ! I was there in '66 when Chris Amon and Bruce McLaren led the 1 2 3 finish. I had tears of joy.

The reflection of the headers in the door "roof" panels is just the coolest freaking thing ever...ok its one of many of the coolest things ever about this car.

I was getting ready for school.... now I guess I'm watch TST lol

Holy shit, this is my dream car since I was a kid. I really enjoyed watching you drive it.

I am a young fella. I had a ride today in a Replica in New Zealand. It is simply a raw proper car. I would definately love a rental programme for the Ford GT40 replicas. I will never forget today

This is a true dream & proper platform that would never grow old . Their is no car that could keep up nor catch me in this ! To relive 1966 to 1969 has to be the Ultimate on this planet ! Thanks for sharing !

Been some real special cars lately on here Matt, Really enjoying them! Keep it up!

I was stoked to see this car on your channel Matt original or not its still freaking awesome! Those bug splats make me laugh too haha.

Coming from a younger guy... I saw this video while at work, and was giddy as all hell to get home and watch it! One of the top one takes!

Eric Broadley and Roy Lunn made a great team - The borough of Bromley should be proud :-)

Amazing a car with that kind of power to have AC and heated seat as a freebie not a bad buy 4 under 200k

You're doing an awesome job Matt, keep up the good work m8:)

I honestly had goosebumps watching this video and hearing that engine bark when you downshifted was epic! I was thinking the whole time this is a very very good replica of what is essentially Automotive Royalty ... Thank you Matt I truly enjoyed this video and i could feel the same sense of "Specialness" in your voice as you described it ... Brilliant!

God, I love 180 degree headers!

I will admit, the turning radius on that thing is a LOT tighter than I thought it would be. I was sure that flip-around would end up turning into a 12-point turn. I was also wondering just how the hell he fit in that thing, until I found out he basically yanked the seat out. I do'nt think I've ever been more envious of you, Matt. I've always, always wanted to drive one of these--real or fake, I wouldn't be picky. Unfortunately for me it's not going to happen unless I win the Powerball.

Matt, I really enjoyed your comments about Dan Gurney and those drivers who made these cars famous. I had lunch and got to drive a few years ago with Bob Bondurant and John Morton at Willow Springs. Leaning on the pit wall and talking about the "Old Days" with these two guys, who were on Shelby's team in Europe in those years, was indescribable for a life-long car guy! One of the things that I thought was interesting was when Bob said that they never knew from one day to the next which car in the garage, they were going to drive. Shelby would make up his mind at the last moment and tell everyone what the day's plan was. I could go on for pages but you'd run out of patience and pages! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience which I'll treasure for ever. -Gary

This was incredible to watch. I love the feel of how these cars look from the seat when you drive. The audio is fantastic. Turn up the volume because the real sound is when it is loud.

1:43 best drive-by sound. 👌🏼

Something i've never seen driven in NYC. I rather see this than all these Dodge Vipers in Long Island, NY.

After having a terrible weekend, seeing you have that much fun in a wicked machine totally made my day. So, jealous right now! Rock on, Matt!!

Great one take Matt. Fell in love with this car in Gran Turismo 2 as a kid, then after learning the history and Ford's battle against Ferrari at LeMans I was ecstatic to hear they were building the GT, and again now with the new one. Thanks for showing this to us and I'm glad you enjoyed your drive! Keep up the great work!

Matt thank you so much for this video! The superformance gt40 is my dream car, because Ill never be able to afford a real GT40. ...Then again I probably cant afford this ever either.

This sounds like an actual bargain

Matt, you have some of the most entertaining yet honest videos out there. You seem very down to earth, knowledgeable and a true enthousiast. Great content. Love this car to death

One of my favorite one takes, watched multiple times. You can really tell Matt had a genuinely good time driving this classic.

OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD! I want this so bad.

If I saw that car driving down the road I'd likely wreck looking at it.

Matt, hats off, this is the best one take on the Smoking Tire and believe me, I saw them all more than once. Such a beautiful car, traffic is on the heavy side but the road and scenery around are really good,, your knowledge and commentary at it's best as usual. The part from 7:25 is especially epic, I was really moved by watching this recreation of history on full throotle. Thank you for all your free one takes, this is by far the best car show on the internet :)

In some little way I live vicariously through Matt, and today was a good day.

That was one cool car. Best one take!

I'm one of the younger audience members, and i adore these cars.

the most beautiful ford of all time to me. theres nothing better. i grew up watching old footage of this at le'man giving it to the ferrari's. so so sick

that little face cam placement change when the bug hit was hilarious hahaha.

You should make a montage of every bug that has hit the gopro, and then the casual cover-up

Happy Monday.

GATTDAMN. The visceral impact of this video came across so perfectly. So glad you got have a solid session in that cockpit, Farah.

My favourite video of the gt40. Gives a good idea of what it might be like drive one of these.Very well put to gather, thank you

This is so cool! i'm surprised you fit in it!

Lol bug hit the go pro. Just cover it with Matt.

Matt. ... that sound gave me an Eargasm! thanks for the awesome video ... keep them coming

As a younger guy(17) I CAN appreciate this car. I don't even particularly like Ford but this car is a legend. I will work my butt off and will own a dream car one day. Hopefully this or a viper

1:43 "I can't say how fast I was going... But it was a real number"

2200 lbs ?!! Crazy !!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this beautiful sports car with all of us!

Still one of the most awesome looking sports car ever built period. Even after 50 years. British design and Detroit iron.

I almost pissed myself, it's so beautiful

It seems like a lot of car for under 200K

That has to be one of the more beautiful sounds I've heard in my life.

Subscribed. I absolutely love the quality and camerawork of these videos.

The terrible things I would do for one of these.

I want left hand drive and right side shift.

You seemed really, really chill throughout this drive. Like you were between "scared shitless" and "this is the best day of my life". Amazing video through and through and an amazing replica.

LOLOLOL love how you move the interior shot to hide the bug guts! Good laugh!

Matt how tall are you?

for those who dont know freedom numbers 2200 lb = 997kg :D

The best one take so far, that car is amazing! Nice one Matt, thanks.

I am glad that I found Superformance recently because the GT40 has been my dream car since I was a teenager. Now that I'm entering graduate school to get an advanced degree in medicine I can hopefully save for one of these over the course of 5-10 years and finally obtain the dream.

Liked before it even started playing.

Nice review. I'd rather drop 160k on one of these than 450k on the new ones.

I'm 22 and I don't hate this car at all. In fact it's one of my favorites out of any car, old or modern. I couldn't imagine how connected you feel not only to the car but the road itself. Beautiful machine

The Ford GT40 MKII by Superformance is the one car that I can't wait to own. I could never find a good review of it on KZfaq. Thank you Matt for doing a proper review.

Is that 2 filler caps for a single gas tank in the front?

It's legal! It's legal!

You can tell when you laugh how fun it is to drive! You understand it and we live vicarious through you! Thank you...

I had a CAV GT40 for some time actually. CAV was a company out of South Africa that worked with a San Diego company to import "kits" that were then completed in the states and titled. The one I had ran a 351 with webers and an Audi transaxle. The car was also equipped with Wilwoods, knock-off wheels, an a very similar interior. I sold the car for 67k and from the sound of Matt's review, was a very similar driving experience. Mine also had heavier steering, an a racing pedal box. It's one hell of a driving experience, I will say that. Super visceral, very aggressive view out of the car, and if the a/c doesn't work you're screwed. One of the funnest cars I've ever driven though. I took a 9 year old kid for a very spirited ride in it, he still talks about it to this day. Kid said he was never sideways, so we went up the road sideways through 1st and 2nd gear...left a nice deposit of GT40 dna on the asphalt.

Imagine seeing this turn up at your local track day and not being any the wiser to whether it's real or fake, $170k as well is a bargain for a car that is 99% the original GT.

Anyone else watching because of the Shelby v Ferrari movie?

Great review Matt. Enjoyed seeing the smile on your face. You get to drive some amazing cars, and this seems to stand out as one of the best experiences. One of my good friends is building an RCR GT40 over the next year and I can't wait to go for a ride. Its possible I may even get some seat time.

Amazing video to start the work week while drinking my coffee. Thanks Matt

How many tickets have you gotten shooting one takes? If i drove like that as much as you do around the backroads of Indiana where I live I would be in jail....

boy do us british know how to build a car :D

Stunning vehicle, lovely vid with the roof cam and sound too!

Finally some one gets the voice vs. engine-sound balance just right. great video.

nice bug fix :-P
