Project Skybound Surge transforms the timeless 1940 Ford Super Deluxe Coupe into a modern FIA Group 5 time attack contender, blending heritage with cutting-edge race technology. The build retains the coupe’s iconic silhouette while pushing the envelope with aggressive widebody flares, integrated aerodynamic sidepods, and a towering dual-element GT wing. Moving the flathead V8 to a front-mid position optimizes weight distribution, allowing for enhanced cooling and high-speed stability demanded by contemporary sprint racing.
Every aspect of the chassis and bodywork is engineered for extreme downforce and cornering grip, from the layered rear quarter flares with airflow detachment channels to the large vertical radiator intakes feeding twin sidepod radiators. The stance is commanding with a widened track and staggered forged Enkei wheels wrapped in semi-slick Dunlop racing tires. This build captures the spirit of pre-war American muscle while embracing the brutal technicality and aerodynamic sophistication of modern silhouette racing.
