Hmmmm!

Haven't heard, read, or seen anything about it.

Like so many renderings, I think you'd have to see it in person to get a real sense of it, and how well they have carried out the bloodline.

Wonder what Ford has to say about this, and what their involvement has been. Perhaps some of the guys with ties to Ford can chime in

Yowza!

FTA: "all aluminum body was widened five inches compared to the Ford GT."

That'll look pretty bad@$$.

It bears a slight resemblance to the FGT, but very slight. Rear looks more like a Viper/Aston Martin/Jaguar etc...

Maybe the pictures don't do it justice, but it ain't workin' for me.

This car is built on a FGT donor chassis. It's not a new design.

This has been discussed here:

http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?26053-A-new-Ford-Gt-kinda!&highlight=galpin

and lots of other places. Google it.

I can't see anyone taking a GT and doing this to it. Maybe a salvage car in need of a rebody.

I wonder which donor car became their first one?

I wonder what will be #2?

Indeed! But it wouldn't fit in my garage as it has three single doors and the GT has about 2 inchs of clearance on each mirror.

Looks like a GT40 Mark III
