If you’ve ever dreamed of piloting one of the most legendary race cars ever built, time is almost up. Entries close this Sunday, September 7th at midnight, for your chance to win a $250,000 Superformance GT40 MKI continuation car.
This isn’t a replica, and it isn’t a kit. Built under license with the original GT40 trademark, the Superformance GT40 MKI is as authentic as they come—over two-thirds of its parts can bolt directly onto the 1960s originals. It even carries the GT40/P chassis number and is eligible for the official registry.
The prize car is finished in iconic Gulf Oil blue and orange with the number 6 livery, a tribute to the GT40 that Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver drove to victory at the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans. Beneath the clamshell rear deck sits a Roush 427SR with Weber carburetors, producing 510 horsepower, paired with a Quaife ZFQ 5-speed transmission.
From its billet Wilwood brakes and Bilstein coil-overs to the Moto-Lita steering wheel and Alcantara seats with riveted trim, this GT40 continuation combines period detail with modern refinements like air conditioning. The result? A street-legal, track-ready race car that bridges past and present.
And there’s a local tie-in: Gulf Oil’s U.S. headquarters were once based in Pittsburgh, the same city where this sweepstakes will announce its winner. If you get a call from a 412 area code on September 18th, you’ll want to answer.
Entries shut down Sunday. Auto Wire readers get double entries—but only until the deadline.
