Ford has an interesting new "urban" design philosophy which is based on the cutting edge of current trends in many aspects of modern life. This will influence the character of new vehicles and new versions of current models. The original basic look of the GT40 survived more or less intact in this new design environment becuase it is too important an automotive - and Ford - benchmark to be radically reinterpreted as a different vehicle. We hope the same truth about the Cobra is recognized to the extent that enough of the original look and character survives the recreation process while still meeting Ford's objectives.
Here is another side look with revised fender lines, slightly more raked windshield and original style side vents for Mr.Bruce. The clamshell hood design more or less mandated that the vent be placed either fully above or below the beltline so this central position may not be feasible unless it can somehow be fixed into the lower panel with a cutout in the clamshell fitting around it when closed. Look closely at the change to the rear fender line compared to the last rendition above it.
