It might be officially labeled as a continuation car, but the Ford GT40 built by Superformance is a replica at the end of the day. It is sold under license as a rolling chassis with multiple drivetrain options with modern and heritage configurations, and an EV option is currently being developed. In association with Everrati, the classic GT40 is going green by adopting an all-electric powertrain.<\/p>\n
The two companies have built a prototype chassis and they’re working on adapting it to switch from internal combustion engines to a zero-emissions setup. Some would argue it’s a controversial solution to keep an automotive icon alive, building replicas without a traditional gasoline engine mounted in the middle.<\/p>\n
