Actually - yes.
In a pre-emptive strike on any lawsuit aspirations by Ol' Shel, the Iconic's designer claims its inspiration came from the same 1950's Ferrari Barchetta that inspired cars like Tojiero's AC Ace and later the Cobra, etc.

As for the lines, the biggest problem I have is with the flattening of the front fender lines. Looks way out of place on an otherwise curvaceous shape and "lightens" the appearance of the front half of the body in relation to the rear haunches.
