Gt40 Top Speed
strillari motor co4m ago
le man homoligations required that all participating cars where no more and no less than 40 inches which is why it was known as the gt 40

Yeah Ken, it was "a bit" faster than 2012mph and the engine was "a bit" stronger than announced

i sense a bunch of shitty six year olds that watched a movie and now they think they know everything about a gt40

Morons, was also not a front engine!! Definitely faster than 201mph. Maybe you are talking about the wrong car????
Someone who knows how fast a GT42y ago
Okay. This log is just bad.
First off and most importantly: This car clocked 225 on the Mulsanne Straight at 400 revs below max. 201mph is not the top speed of this car. Second, the 0-60 time is more like 5.2. It was a fast car, sure, but that big 427 weighed a ton (not literally). Third, and what most
disproves this entry: This is a mid-engined car.

Oh yeah? 350lbf from a raceprepped 427? Ma, this is so serious

I doubt the 0-60 mph time is 3.7

Delete! Only the MkI and MkIII were road legal; the MkII and MkIV were actually not.

@ Super8 & Viking: And it looks awesome and black. :-)

@Super8 that is a better picture indeed. Groovy looking GT-40, one of my favorite cars. Small, lightweight, mid-engine, big engine, what could be better. :)
Shaggy9y ago
My favorite version of the GT40.
Super89y ago
Can we change the main picture into this one?
Super811y ago
Sorry the torque is 475 ft-lbs not 474 Nm
Super811y ago
Well only a few road legal are built and this is only GT40 that fitted with 427 Ford V8 from Ford Galaxie. 2 of them that run in Daytona 1967 racing are fitted with Mercury 427 V8. They are same but it will be different case for collector
