The GT40 was the original item, if it was labelled a GT40 chances are it was probably a replica. The new one is just called a GT.

what Butler said.

although, if it were a replica, it would probably have said 'GTD40' on it

The GT90's 48-valve V12 was a six-litre engine which, if Ford had ever produced it in volume, might have produced up to 720 hp (537 kW), thanks to four Garrett Systems T2 turbochargers. The engine was based on the Ford Modular engine. Two V8's were cut down, removing a grand total of four cylinders between the two. After welding, this yielded a 90-degree V-12, with 90.2 mm bore and 77.3 mm stroke.

It is one of the cars that can be driven in the game Need for Speed II. It is also available to drive in Gran Turismo 2, Gran Turismo HD, Sega GT 2002, Ford Racing 2, Ford Racing 3, Project Gotham Racing 3 and TOCA Race Driver 2.
