The Ford GT40: Le Mans legacy on the Open Road with RNG Classics

Posted on November 1, 2025

Few cars carry as much weight in motorsport history as the Ford GT40. In 1966, it didn’t just win Le Mans—it dominated, taking all three podium spots and etching itself into legend. Our Shelby GT40 recreation brings that moment back to life, right here in the UK.

This is the only Shelby GT40 available for hire in the UK or Europe, and it’s a showstopper. Finished in the iconic No. 2 livery worn by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon during their historic victory, this recreation is built by Superformance—known worldwide for their exacting standards.

Under the rear deck sits a thunderous 7-litre Ford V8, breathing through true megaphone exhausts for an authentic, hair-raising soundtrack. With fully independent suspension, vented disc brakes, period-correct tyres and 15-inch knock-off wheels, it drives like a race car should—raw, powerful and thrilling.

Yet, it’s also been subtly upgraded for usability. Air conditioning, leather-trimmed interior, and a removable race-style steering wheel make this GT40 just about comfortable enough for a grand touring escape.

Whether you’re chasing the perfect driving experience or need a cinematic centrepiece for brand content or film, the GT40 delivers. It’s a slice of motorsport history that doesn’t just look the part—it plays it.

This isn’t just a hire—it’s a headline.
