THE CARS
The cars were characters.
Because we couldn’t use the real GT-40s or Ferraris (each worth tens of millions), our team had to build an entire fleet from scratch: dozens of period-correct race cars, plus #Cobras, #Daytonas, #Mustangs, #Porches, prototypes, and more.
We engaged
@racecarreplicas in Michigan, who could recreate bodies molded from original cars. They built 28 GT-40s for us — a huge reason enthusiasts now call this “the reference movie for the GT40.”
We also partnered with superformance in Irvine, who supplied 29 additional racecars, expanding our fleet and giving the film the scale and authenticity it deserved.
Our Vehicle Art Director
@rajdesign1 was tasked with fitting out every car with the period-correct details that would hold up to scrutiny and create maximum authenticity — inside and out.
Every car had its own backstory, personality, and place in the race. And every one of them had to feel real at 150 mph.
Still grateful to the entire team who brought these machines to life.
