Ford spent $5 million developing this car, and another $2 million just
building this particular one. This is the first and only one of this
type in existence, and was completed yesterday afternoon in
California.

In January of 2004 it was sketched out on paper. In February a full
size mock-up was moulded in clay. Now, a year later, the real thing
is on it's way to the Detroit Auto Show. This car wasn't a mock-up or a
shell. The sculptor, designer and escort for the car is hoping it will take
best of show this year. And Kitty Hawk delivered it!

This is the 2007 Ford Shelby GR1 concept car. If Ford decides to put
it into production, potential buyers can expect to pay around $200,000
for it. The entire exterior of the car is polished aluminium, and it has
liquid cooled LED headlights.

Repost x50, but still a very nice car. Reminds me of the Aston Martin Vanquish.

Not only is that so distracting to other drivers on the road due to its sexiness, the sun will shine off it, blind you and run you off the road!

I want one!

Looked better when it was painted and didn't look like a DeLorean someone had attacked with braso and a buffer.
