Riley is proud to be able to continue the manufacturing of the truly legendary MkIV racecar, taking on the Kar-Kraft assets including tooling, fixtures, molds, and engineering drawings, to produce the authentic period-correct MkIV again for those looking to own a part of history. Initial plans call for a production run of up to 10 period correct continuation cars with deliveries beginning third quarter of 2022.
To continue a legend
Start with legendary people
"The original MkIV was developed by a group of individuals that wanted to win. We all would stop everything to get something designed, fabricated and tested quickly. We were not afraid of the hard work and the enthusiasm to achieve those successes with the MkIV was without question. That is the same philosophy that the Riley staff has had from the beginning and that same enthusiasm will go in to each MkIV continuation that leaves here.”
-BOB RILEY
Construction
From the original blueprints and castings to the exact locations of the rivets, the Riley | Kar-Kraft MkIV is a true continuation of the legendary MkIV from start to finish.
Details
When it comes to insuring the authenticity of the MkIV, the continuation MkIV is a result of very close attention to detail in both design and the materials used.
Engine specs
While the ROUSH prepared engines will be built in the same vein as the original 1967 Le Mans winning manner, the over 50-years of development and improved materials will result in improved reliability and consistency.

ROUSH is a perfect partnership with Riley | Kar-Kraft and will produce the powerplant for each MkIV continuation. The original “427” was proven to be both powerful and dependable and special care is taken to
create the same 48-hours of dyno durability as was provided in 1967.
