The Continuation GT40 is true to the original 40-inches
in height, but you don't actually sit in a GT40, you lie in it and there
is an optional Gurney bubble for the taller driver. The interior features
original style seats covered in Alcantara, incorporating the traditional
silver rivets and racing 4 point harness seat belts. The driver's seat
is slightly wider than the passenger's and will comfortably fit a 95 percentile
driver (6'2" X 240 lbs) by removing the seat "trampoline"
support.
A racing style dash features Smiths Gauges in a racer-like
layout with the speedometer mounted off to the side. Engine revs and vitals
are priority here. The instrument panel is similar to the original but
the Jones tachometer has been replaced with a Smiths unit.
The Superformance GT40 Continuation can be ordered in
right or left hand drive with your choice of an original style sill gear
shift or center mounted shift. A center shifter is standard but the Continuation
GT40 may be ordered with an original style sill shifter available for
right hand drive models. IF you have a left hand drive continuation GT40
you may want to opt for a modified sill shifter which is cable driven.
Rack and Pinion steering is fitted with a removable
steering wheel for easy access to the cockpit. The pedal lay out favors
street driving and the pedal box is adjustable.
High capacity air conditioning has also been fitted,
and to make it look original the compressor unit is cleverly disguised
in a dry sump look-a-like tank in the original position.
