Wow. Hate to see the word "stillborn" used for this, as I'd love to see it in production. The styling makes me think of a 1960s Cobra Daytona Coupe --- another GREAT car.

But two minor points about "The Almost Perfect Exposure", both related to the wheel close-up:
1 - Don't have the "Ford" on the hub upside-down.
2 - When you're taking photos of a mirror-finished car, either put on some classier duds, or angle it so you're not in the picture.

And shouldn't a V10 have either 2 exhaust outlets or 5, not 4? Five could yield an interesting unique appearance, while underscoring the use of 10 cylinders (even though I know the exhausts are likely mingled upstream in only 1 or 2 pipes).

I agree and I know people have mixed feelings on the photographer.

As for the exhaust, not sure why they chose 4 either.

Looks different thats for sure. I think I still like the GT over this. I don't like the chrome look/finish its got. Maybe in a different color I would like it better. And this perfect exposure guy... don't like his stuff. looks like its all taken with a point and shoot by looking at the reflection of him on that one pic.
