A New GT40 Successor Is Coming, But Not From Ford
CAV, which is most famous as a South Africa–based purveyor of continuation-quality GT40s, has been working on its imaginatively named "Special Project" since at least November 2024, since then taking shape as a mid-engined supercar with a V8 engine and at least one interestingly retro design feature, the quartet of vertical tail lamps mounted to a CNC-machined aluminum cantilever. Their swept-back appearance and placement echo the quad brake lights of the original 1960s GT40, giving us our first clue that CAV would be building a vintage racing homage.
Given the company's reputation for high-quality GT40 replicas built on robust aluminum space frames, we'd expect the Special Project's quality to be up there with many of the best boutique sports cars out there. We hope it nails the blend of vintage flair and modern performance, giving us the third-generation GT we always wanted but never received.
