Inspired by the No. 6 GT40, which famously triumphed at the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans with Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver behind the wheel, this continuation model is a near-identical recreation of the iconic racer. With a monocoque chassis and over 244 laser-cut and pressed components, the GT40 MKI stays true to the original while incorporating modern engineering.
Adorned in the unmistakable Gulf Livery, the GT40 MKI features blue and orange paint, matching orange-painted wheels, Gulf roundels, twin-pin rear clam, and aluminum-painted door eyebrows—all key details that honor its motorsport heritage. Under the hood, a 427 cubic-inch Windsor-based stroker engine breathes through Weber carburetors and Gurney-Weslake valve covers, ensuring both blistering performance and historic authenticity.
Inside, the cockpit reflects a period-correct racing feel with a Moto-Lita steering wheel, Smith gauges, Alcantara-covered seats with silver rivets, and an iconic Gurney bubble for added headroom. Performance components include Bilstein® coil-over shocks, independent suspension, vented disc brakes, and Wilwood calipers for precise handling and stopping power. Modern comforts such as air conditioning and a heater provide added usability for street driving.
This giveaway also pays homage to Pittsburgh’s connection to GT40 history. Gulf Oil, once headquartered in the city, played a pivotal role in the GT40’s dominance, backing JW Automotive Engineering and securing consecutive Le Mans victories in 1968 and 1969. The No. 6 GT40, bearing chassis 1075, remains one of the most celebrated race cars of all time.
For those dreaming of owning a race-inspired masterpiece, this Superformance GT40 MKI offers a rare opportunity to bring a piece of Le Mans history home. Enter now for a chance to win this iconic car and continue its legacy on the road.
