Just can't get over how the fuselage tapers toward the engine. By far the best looking car on the road.

I love the way the car looks, but the best part is that it's advancing design in a way that nobody else is. Every other car in the segment is similar to one degree or another. This thing is from the future.

What an awesome time for those that love cars. Even more so if you are a Ford fanatic as all of us are. Like you said, nothing else even comes close.

Amen brother. I should go back and dredge up a bunch of the "Performance cars are dead and gone forever!" doomsday posts from 10 years ago. :lol

Anyone have any idea how a person would pick up one of the pre production units after the car is released?

Thanks Dave... every time I try to calm down and get back to work to keep my mind off the Phoenix... you have to post some photos that get me off track again. The first time I saw this car I thought to myself it's looks were so advanced and different than almost every other supercar... that usually means there is no way to get your hands on it. I really hope in this case it will be different. this car is really AWSUM!

Is this the color of the unpainted carbon fiber?

I would think this is CF with a coat of primer... CF looks similar to a med gray to dark black herringbone

Note the color difference between the driver door and rest of the body, almost as though it were two different batches.

Low muffler position for ultra low CG.

doors could be made at a different location or a different company using different primer color

In images 3 & 6 one can really see the GT40/Ford GT fender contour, both front and rear. That, along with the headlight theme, is a remarkable job of showing the provenance.

Note also, the driver door/rocker panel don't fit very well. :lol
