Just beat me to posting something about this:biggrin

When this concept car was first produced, I thought it was the second best (behind the Ford GT) looking car ever penned. I'm glad Superformance was able to strike a licensing agreement with Ford to build this. I think C&D said it was still a couple years out from production. According to some of the articles I read, the original version has some FGT underpinnings. It will be interesting to see how/if those car over to the kit. Can't wait!

I also seem to recall a documentary on the building of the original. Maybe Discovery Channel or something like that.

I loved the look of that car. We had much exposure to it in the beginning rallies.
 
I wish someone would get a licensing agreement to recreate a 1972 Miura SV. :wink
