The seller offers for sale a 1974 Ford GT40 KVA replica concept car, presented as a two-door coupe with a Tesla Model S–based electric drivetrain. First registered in Great Britain in 1974 as a recreated GT40, it was engineered with modern CAD methods and built as a showpiece combining heritage looks with contemporary electrification. Power comes from Tesla components paired with a Li-ion battery pack of approximately 42 kWh (92 × 3.7 V, EMUS BMS). The car is described as drive-ready. The paint received an 8-layer refinish in a modern design and shows no wear. Inside, grey Alcantara seats and dashboard were newly trimmed; instruments are new but some functions still need to be commissioned. No accident damage or visible rust is reported. As a concept car, further professional support is advised to optimize the BMS system.
In general, the GT40 is one of the most celebrated endurance racers of the 1960s, famed for its Le Mans victories and dramatic low-slung shape. KVA replicas pay homage to this silhouette, offering the drama and proportions enthusiasts admire, often with modernized underpinnings for easier use. An EV-converted example like this blends iconic race-car looks with instant torque and simplified driveline characteristics, making it a distinctive centerpiece for collections or promotional showcases. While purists may seek period-correct powertrains, the combination of classic style and electric propulsion can appeal to those who value design, performance feel, and conversation-starter rarity.
