Several [[kit car]]s and replicas inspired by the Ford GT40 have been built. They are generally intended for assembly in a home workshop or garage. There are two alternatives to the [[kit car]] approach, either [[Continuation car|continuation]] models (exact and licensed replicas true to the original GT40) or [[modernization]]s (replicas with upgraded components, ergonomics & trim for improved usability, drivability, and performance).
* GT40/R Competition, United States: Authentic GT40 built by [[Superformance]] and co-designed with Pathfinder Motorsports. This is the only GT40 continuation licensed by Safir GT40 Spares LLC, the holders of the GT40 trademark. A GT40/R (GT40P/2094) campaigned by Pathfinder Motorsports with an engine built by Holman Moody won both the 2009 US Vintage Grand Prix and the 2009 Governor's Cup at Watkins Glen.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pathfindermotorsports.com/ftp.pathfindermotorsports.com/Events.html |title=Events |publisher=Pathfindermotorsports.com |access-date=2011-08-09 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325154940/http://www.pathfindermotorsports.com/ftp.pathfindermotorsports.com/Events.html |archive-date=25 March 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

* Ford GT40 By Everrati: Everatti's GT40 replica uses a Superformance body and is powered by a 700-volt electric architecture, allowing for fast charging. Everrati estimates it delivers {{Convert|800|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|590|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque, making it almost twice as powerful as the most powerful version of the original GT40.
