The first SPF GTs to be built are replicas of the famous Ford GT40 MKII A that finished first, second, and third overall at the Le Mans 24 Hour Race in 1966. The SPF GT differs from other Ford GT40 replicas in that it is the "only one to be built with a monocoque chassis that is an exact replica of the original" [4] . Infact, over 90% of the SPF GT's parts are interchangeable with the original MKII A [5]. The SPF GT is so close to the original that it is currently being evaluated for historic racing eligibility[6]. Some major differences between the two cars include the addition of a hidden air conditioning unit, modern brakes, and a conversion to left hand drive layout.

Superformance S1 Roadster The Superformance S1 Roadster (SPF S1) is a modern rendition of the Lotus Super 7. The S1 was specifically conceived to accommodate “6-foot 4-inch, 250-pound Americans,”[7] a feat that few Lotus 7 replicas could accomplish. Apart from the increased size, the S1 has several aerodynamically beneficial features, weatherproof soft top, windows, adjustable foot pedals, heated front windshield, heating and air conditioning, as well as a 5 cubic-foot lockable trunk. The SPF S1s are generally powered by a version of Ford's 2.0L Zetec inline-4 (either turbocharged or naturally aspirated) [8]. The production run of the S1 has ended. The Lotus Seven is a small, simple, lightweight two-seater open-top sports car, which have been called a motorcycle on four wheels. It is characterised by very good acceleration but a low top speed, handling is lively and the ride is uncompromising. The drag coefficient is around 0. ...
