The SP40 Restomod Speedster Is A Modern Marvel Wrapped In A History Lesson
Edsel Ford's 1934 Ford Model 40 Special Speedster was the prototype for an American sports car. Now, 92 years later, replica builders from Argentina have reimagined it with a fully modern chassis, powertrain, suspension, and more all while rendering the body in dimensionally accurate carbon-fiber.
