good thing I'm colour blind or I might vomit at that interior colour. Having said that, it's definitely not out of place in supercar company. I think I like the look better than the 04-06 GT. It looks like it's going 150 just sitting still.

I do prefer this over the mid 2000's model, the interior colour may NOT be the blue but is a real nice looking car.
Was always a real fan of the original GT40. I could get used to one of these sitting in my garage very quickly.

Its a nice looking car in its own right, but so is the ford gt, if i was mr packer i would probably have one with a different color interior, i'd feel sorry for the chauffeur having put up with the blue interior all the time.

The interior is like a retro 80's horror flick.

Nope, it's ugly! If you're going to drop that sort of coin on an ugly car, may as well buy a Veyron.

HELL YEAH, that looks way better than the original and the mid 2000s one.
So sleek. I like the interior too. I wouldn't pay $1,000,000 for it though but thats the answer to a question that no one asked. |

I'm with Potty on this one.
Looks like a design reject of the XJ220. |

To appreciate it, you need too look beyond it being a modernised GT40...rather its a interpretation of what a next gen ford supercar could look like...

With $1 million I would have a lot of cars rather than just one....even if it is special.
The first car would be an Ac Cobra...followed by an Eleanor copy....followed by.... Yeah nah....not for me but Jeremy Clarkson on the other hand? |

Yeh not a bad point, if I had to have one definitely, but if I had to spend the coin, I wonder what an original GT40 would be worth. That and a Muira, mmm classic style.

They spewed out some nasty looking cars on Pimp My Ride (and a few good ones), with their popularity and fame, the best htye can do is a Chinese-copy looking GR1?
