A REIMAGINED ICON I THE FORD GT40
Few cars in history hold the legendary status of the Ford GT40. Built to dominate Le Mans, it cemented its place in motorsport lore with its 1969 victory—the very car that inspired this incredible reimagining. Now, with its period-correct aesthetics and modern engineering, this GT40 recreation is a masterpiece that blends heritage with cutting-edge performance.
A FAITHFUL RECREATION
A beautiful recreation and stunning tribute, this was a JWA UK factory car that competed at Le Mans in 1969. But beneath the surface, it boasts some serious modern enhancements, such as the authentic appearance – every detail honours the original, from its sleek silhouette to its unmistakable racing stance. Aluminium Monocoque Chassis – Lightweight yet incredibly rigid, just as the original GT40 intended. A Ford V8 Coyote engine, mated to a Ford Ricardo 6-speed transaxle, making it one of the few cars in the world with this unique powertrain. And advanced suspension – modern engineering ensures precision handling without sacrificing the raw, visceral experience.
BRINGING HISTORY BACK TO LIFE
For its owner, this car is a deeply personal build. It wasn’t bought—it was created. Built within Renner Auto, a company that specialises in highly accurate recreations of iconic vehicles from the 50s to 70s, this GT40 represents the commitment to bringing history back to life. Some cars are legendary, but very few enthusiasts will ever have the chance to own an original. This build ensures that its spirit lives on.
The most exhilarating experience with this GT40 for its owner was running it on track during the Australian Formula 1 weekend. The sound of the V8, the precision through the corners, and the sight of it blazing down the straights captivated spectators. Few cars command attention like this one—it’s a machine that truly belongs on a race circuit.
The Ford GT40 is motorsport royalty, and this reimagined version is the closest thing to owning a piece of that history. It delivers the authentic appearance and raw spirit of the original while benefiting from modern performance enhancements. At Automotive Wonderland – Curated By ArtNeun, at Wristwatch Check 2025, it stands as a tribute to one of the greatest racing cars ever built.
