CAV GT MkII: An 800-HP AWD Restomod Paying Homage to the GT40

TL;DR Summary
Cape Advanced Vehicles unveils the CAV GT MkII, a restomod homage to the Ford GT40 with an 800-horsepower twin-supercharged 4.2-liter V8, forged internals, dry-sump lubrication, and all-wheel drive. It offers three transmissions (six-speed semi-automatic, dual-clutch, or manual), weighs 2,976 pounds with a carbon-fiber body and aluminum/carbon spaceframe, and claims over 205 mph top speed with 0–62 mph in 3.0 seconds. Evidence suggests an Audi R8 understructure shapes the chassis, marking a step up in CAV’s GT40 restomod program.
