At $50K they are going to sell a lot of them.
They are $50K aren't they?

John, that seems to plague a lot of products, not just GT40s or Coupes. You can drive right down the road from me and get a Daytona Coupe for $63k, there is one in stock. But for some funny reason when the same car gets sold in the UK the price basically doubles. Happened to CAVs as I recall a couple of years ago too. I hope the GT40 doesn't suffer the same fate.
SPF GT READY TO FLY
Port Elizabeth, South Africa. May 10th, 2005
SPF GT 001 - the first production Superformance GT - touched down in Amsterdam today on the first leg of the journey to its international debut.
Bleary eyed engineers, who have been working round the clock to complete the first car in time for its scheduled departure from the plant, are proud of the results of the painstaking detail and effort that has gone into creating this authentic replica of the GT 40 Mk II that finished first, second and third in the grueling 24 Hours at Le Mans in 1966.
The first of a half dozen units in various stages of completion on the new GT assembly line at HiTech Automotive’s South African plant, the gleaming, titanium and black SPF GT 001 will be followed by two more component vehicles to come off line in May, after which production will progressively be stepped up to a total of six units a month.
Four years in development, the SPF GT replicates one of the most famous American race cars of the 20th Century. With careful attention to finite detail, the SPF GT does not pretend to be anything else but an exact replica of the road going version of the original. It is the only assembly line produced replica of the original GT 40 that incorporates an original style monocoque chassis, including a pressed steel roof.
In developing the SPF GT, the Hi-Tech engineers went to such lengths to ensure absolute authenticity, that more than 90% of the vehicle’s parts are interchangeable with the original car – including the chassis.
Soon to follow is the Mk I version of the SPF GT. Demand is already exceeding the expected supply of both versions, and the order rate will dictate whether production will be stepped up next year.
Full technical specifications and detailed graphics of the detailed features of the SPF GT – virtually all developed and crafted in the Hi-Tech plant – will be posted in “serial” form on Superformance’s web site www.superformance.com.

Doc,
I was told that once mine starts, it will be 100 days to delivery. I am S/N 20 - I am told to expect mine before the end of the year.
I was also told they will ramp to 6 a month in about 3 months.

yes I do. However, if they want to take longer I am okay with that - I think the finished product will be worth the wait.
They have met every milestone so far and are on schedule. They have a large capacity to build cars...

The superformance coupe was shown on uk tv last night (5th gear). Quoted as costing 65k GBP, which as you say Ron is probably equivalent to 65k USD /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

John,
I think the price they quoted for the Daytona Coupe was 85k GBP. If so, quite an increase on the 63k USD quoted by Ron.
