4,000-Hour GT40 Dream Car Build in 17 Minutes

Benjamin Workshop spent four years creating a replica of the Ford GT40 race car that won at Le Mans, and documented the design, engineering, and construction process in a series of videos.

Benjamin Workshop is a French YouTuber and mechanic who built a replica of the Kunos Ford GT40 in his garage. It took him over 4,000 hours to complete the project, which he revealed in a beautiful mango color that changes from orange to almost yellow depending on the light.

He has now condensed all of this footage into a time-lapse video. The completed car is a beautiful work of art.
