Four rounds down, and you're still here for more — respect. This week we're pulling questions straight from two of the wildest cars headed to the block: a Superformance MKI GT40 wearing Gulf Racing heritage livery, and a track-only 2022 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 built with Manthey-Racing. Then we threw in a handful of classic car and auction trivia to see how deep your knowledge really goes.

Score
QUESTION 1
Ever wonder where the "GT40" name actually comes from? It's not a chassis code or a production number — it's a measurement.
A Its top speed of 140 mph, rounded to 40
B The 40 units built for the 1966 racing season
C Its overall height of 40 inches
D Ford's internal "Group 40" prototype program
Correct!
Not quite — the answer is: its overall height of 40 inches. "GT" for Grand Touring, "40" for the roofline that barely cleared a Le Mans starting grid photographer's knees.
QUESTION 2
The Superformance GT40 MKI heading to our block is a continuation built to factory-original standards. Which family of engines is it designed to pair with?
A Big-block 427 side-oiler V8s
B Small-block Ford V8s (289/302/351W)
C A GM LS-series crate V8
D A flat-plane-crank Coyote V8
Correct!
Not quite — the answer is: small-block Ford V8s. It's the same recipe the original street-friendly Mk I road cars used, and the continuation carries a GT40/P chassis number that's eligible for the official GT40 Registry.
QUESTION 3
"Gulf Racing heritage" isn't just a paint job. That powder-blue-and-marigold livery became iconic after GT40s wearing it did what at Le Mans?
A Set the fastest qualifying lap in 1965
B Won the 24 Hours outright in both 1968 and 1969
C Debuted the first rear wing seen at Le Mans
D Were disqualified for a fuel-tank rule violation
Correct!
Not quite — the answer is: won the 24 Hours outright in both 1968 and 1969, run by John Wyer Automotive Engineering under sponsorship from Gulf Oil.
QUESTION 4
Also crossing our block: a 2022 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 built in partnership with Manthey-Racing. What does the "25" in its name actually celebrate?
A Manthey-Racing's 25th anniversary
B 25 years since the 911 GT2 nameplate debuted
C A 2.5-second 0-60 time
D 25 years since Porsche's first Nürburgring 24 win
Correct!
Not quite — the answer is: Manthey-Racing's 25th anniversary. Olaf Manthey founded the team in 1996, and Porsche has owned 51% of it since 2013.
QUESTION 5
This isn't a car you can register and drive to Cars & Coffee. How many 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 units did Porsche and Manthey build worldwide?
A 10
B 30
C 50
D 77
Correct!
Not quite — the answer is 30, a track-only run split globally, with just 6 originally allocated to U.S. customers. (77 was the production cap on the road-going 935 tribute — nice try if you picked that one.)
QUESTION 6
Which manufacturer holds the record for the most overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans?
A Ferrari
B Audi
C Toyota
D Porsche
Correct!
Not quite — the answer is Porsche, with 19 overall victories and counting.
QUESTION 7
In collector car terms, what does it mean when a listing says a vehicle has "matching numbers"?
A The odometer and service records line up exactly
B The engine and other major components are original to that specific car
C The VIN matches the number on the key fob
D Two owners paid the exact same price for the car
Correct!
Not quite — the answer is: the engine (and often transmission and other major components) are original to that specific car, not swapped in later.
QUESTION 8
The Mercedes-Benz 300SL earned its famous "Gullwing" nickname because of:
A Its fin-shaped taillights
B A wing-shaped hood ornament
C Doors that swing open upward
D An early rear spoiler design
Correct!
Not quite — the answer is: doors that swing open upward, a solution born from the car's tube-frame chassis rather than pure style.
QUESTION 9
Carroll Shelby built the original Cobra by dropping a Ford V8 into the lightweight chassis of which British sports car maker?
A Lotus
B AC Cars
C Austin-Healey
D MG
Correct!
Not quite — the answer is AC Cars, whose Ace roadster became the basis for the Cobra once Shelby got a V8 under the hood.
QUESTION 10
In auction terms, what is a "buyer's premium"?
A An extra fee added on top of the winning bid, paid by the buyer
B A discount offered to returning bidders
C Insurance included automatically in the sale price
D A tax rebate for first-time buyers
Correct!
Not quite — the answer is: an extra fee added on top of the winning bid, paid by the buyer. It's also where BIDR's low rate stands out from the rest of the industry.
