1990 Ford GT40 (MK1)

1960’s racing legend reimagined for the 21st century.

Purchased originally as a rolling chassis in 1990, an intended build project for a gent and his son: it was never finished.

Established in 1984, Tornado Sports Cars began producing GT40 reproductions in 1989. Since then, they have supplied hundreds of these high quality replicas all across the globe.

Supplied in either full kit form, part built, or turn-key finished, the Tornado cars are, on the surface, 1960’s Ford GT40s, but without the eye-watering price tag of the iconic Le Mans racers.

This car will transport you back to the era of adrenaline-fuelled racers; not only does it look and perform like the original, it is cramped, hot, loud and scary, delivering an outrageously period-correct experience.
