Not even. Perhaps a Lamborghini Huracán.

It's not a knock off of anything. It's an homage to the Ford GT40 that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966.



The GT '66 won its class at Le Mans this year.

I think that look was inspired by the early Corvettes, especially the Stingray.

I may be wrong.

I'm not a "car person".

I drive a 4 cylinder Accord and I am happy as a pig in shit.

A very good year for Ford, no.

The last time I was interested in a car as anything other than a dependable way to get where I wanted to go was in the 1960's.

Back in those days the saying about Fords was "Ford will pass anything on the road except a gas station".
