Quick Spin: Superformance GT40 MkI is vehicular sashimi, raw and delicious
Filed under: Motorsports, Coupe, Performance, First Drive, Specialty
As much as we enjoy piloting modern machinery, there’s something special about vintage vehicles, and that something is the pure, unvarnished connection between man and machine. But it’s not always good. Things get dicey when the driving experience is a little too vintage. Despite our supreme adoration of the racing greats of yesteryear, clawing at the wheel, pulverizing the brake pedal, dumping buckets of sweat onto the leather seat and having our sphincter perform kegels isn’t always our preferred flavor of fun. Some days, we’re just not that hardcore. So the vintage vehicles we’ve come to love most aren’t genuinely vintage at all – they’re classic bodies wrapped around modern mechanicals. The Rizk RA is a prime example, and now there’s this: the Superformance GT40 MkI, a car so raw that if it were edible, they’d slap “organic” on it and sell it at Whole Foods.
