The new GT is cool and gorgeous. I can't
dispute that. However it seems that looks no different to me then other modern supercars. The new car to my eye clearly draws its cues more from the Aventadore, Enzo, 458 and McLaren more then it's supposed original progenitor the Ford GT 40.

The 2005 2006 Ford GT's or as otherwise referred to as a "petunia" project GT drew its design directly from its original progenitor the GT 40 and was a new rebirth of that car inside and out following the original lines, curves and character down to the cut outs in the roof as part of the doors etc...

This new car while a slick piece and gorgeous is a different animal.

Who can look at the new car and say "that's a GT40"

I was hoping for an updated Daytona Coupe to compete with the Viper and Vette.

This New GT will be unattainable except for oil sheiks and multi millionaires. Then you will have the usual greed from dealers with their ridiculous ADMs.

I think this new car has made the petunia era GT's instant classics overnight it will soon make them even more desirable.
