Ford v Ferrari tells the dramatic real-life story of the American car company’s quixotic quest to challenge reigning champion Ferrari at the 1966 Le Mans 24-hour endurance race.

Lance Stander, CEO of Superformance, holds the exclusive licenses to build and sell exact recreations of Ford GT40s, Shelby Cobra roadsters and Daytona Coupes and supplied many of the cars you see in the Oscar-nominated film.
