The new GT40 Mk 1 and Mk II Continuations from Hi-Tech Pty are precision crafted, authentic re-creations of the Ferrari beating, Le Mans winning GT40s of the 1960s. So authentic in fact, that more than 90% of all the component parts are interchangeable with the original cars', including the entire 'monocoque' chassis itself; in addition chassis numbering continues from those of the original 1960's production run (GT40P 2000 Series).

This new GT is hand built by Hi-Tech on the same production line as the renowned Noble M12 GT, in their factory in South Africa. The same innovative techniques and exacting standards ensure the very best build quality and finish, from the pressed steel roof to the flawless GRP composite body, bonnet, doors and boot.

However, what is unique about both this new GT and the Shelby Daytona Cobra, is their intoxicating combination of the raw exhilaration of a thoroughbred GT racer with the awesome performance of a modern day supercar.
