In the early 1960s, Ford was negotiating to acquire Ferrari, and as the deal was about to close, Enzo Ferrari backed out of it and insulted Henry Ford II and the cars he made. Irritated by this behavior, Ford decided to beat Ferrari at their own game, at the 24hrs of Le Mans. To achieve this, Ford commissioned Carroll Shelby. As a result, his team gifted the world with the stunning Ford GT40. It went on to dominate Le Mans for four consecutive years, cementing the GT40 as a legend in the racing world. Owning this hallmark of a car is only a dream for many, as it is now a million-dollar museum piece. However, companies such as RCR (Race Car Replicas), are making this dream achievable. This is one such example of a 2017 RCR GT-R Replica Kit Car offer the looks of a modern Ford GT but for a fraction of the cost.
The GT40, as the name suggests, is just 40 inches tall to fit in with the Le Mans regulations. This low height and the effort to make an aerodynamic car made the GT an absolute stunner finished in a bright baby blue paint job. This example has been crafted out of a custom body fitted onto a custom frame so it can fit the 19/20 inch staggered Forgestar Performance Wheels setup wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero 285 tires up front and meaty 335 tires at the rear. This wheel setup not only provides a race car-inspired look but also provides superior handling and helps put all the engine power down. As the car is considerably low, it has been fitted with a hydraulic front lift to help over bumps. Gracing around the exterior, you will see Brembo 4-Piston calipers at the front and rear hugging over slotted and drilled rotors. There is a tow hook for the days you decide to bring it to the racetrack, and a carbon fiber rear lip spoiler for added downforce, complete with a flat bottomed under tray sweeping out to a rear diffuser for the extra downforce. The cockpit is tight and solely focused on achieving the car's best performance. The dials, steering wheel, pedals, and gated shifter are placed perfectly to improve the experience. There is a touch screen radio head unit while Sparco racing bucket seats keep you in place.
You can fit a number of engines to the RCR GT-R replica, but this build has been done with Ford's very own 3.5L EcoBoost V6 twin-turbo engine that has been properly custom fitted to fit inside the rear of this unique chassis design. Taking a glance at the engine compartment, you’ll see a custom intake plenum with Treadstone Performance Engineering Silicone Piping and an external wastegate, giving hints that this twin-turbo V6 means serious business. The V6 is mated to a gated six-speed manual that has been said to be sourced from a Lamborghini Gallardo to transmit the power to the rear wheels.

The Porsche 356 was the first ever commercial model that Porsche made, debuting in 1950. Sharing some common components with the Volkswagen Beetle (which Ferdinand Porsche himself had a hand in), the two cars couldn’t be more divergent in purpose and persona. While the Beetle is a friendly, cute, family car, the Porsche 356 is a lightweight, nimble-handing sports car. It was made in coupe and convertible (Speedster) forms. This makes the 356 one of the most sought-after classic cars these days. It’s not unheard of for mint specimens to fetch high six, or even seven-figure prices. Thankfully, there are plenty of excellent replicas around for those who want the 356 driving experience, but aren’t too fussed about purity. We’ve got to say that this 2007 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica up for sale right now is one of the best replicas that we’ve seen. If it speaks your language, don’t delay; call us ASAP.
The Porsche 550 was a mid-engined sports car, available as a coupe and as a spyder, specifically developed and used for racing in the mid-fifties. It won upon debut at the Nurburgring Eifel Race in 1953, a result that would set the tone for the rest of its motorsport career. It was succeeded by the Porsche 718 in 1957, which would also become incredibly successful. 70 years on, they’ve become incredibly sought after, with the most expensive one reportedly selling for over $5 million. But even for those in the tax bracket to invest that kind of money in one of these, there’s one big catch: only 90 were ever made. So, is there an alternative? Well, this replica from Vintage Motorcars of California might be the next best option.
The Shelby Cobra is one of those cars that just screams raw personality. It’s a beast in every sense of the word, with this simple yet fawned-over design the template for many replicas, fulfilling the unprecedented demand these cars have conjured. Our featured car is a replica of a 1967 Shelby Cobra. This 2010 AC Cobra replica was built by Shell Valley. And, like most replicas, the approach to personalization is off the charts. This car features a stroked 351ci V8 engine, with the total displacement now standing at 418ci, with an output reported at 500hp. The engine really is the star of this car, with less than 1,000 miles of running reported by the current owner since it was rebuilt. You also get a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission with a shortened 9-inch rear end with a 350.1 ratio. Then there’s an upgraded Ford Racing 4-wheel disc brake system, too, for added stopping power.
