Default Ford's Stillborn: Shelby GR-1 600HP V10 Supercar Concept from Cars & Coffee

This is an old one from my archives. Ford employees drove it out from the office building to surprise and awe the spectators

They should have built it to succeed the GT

I am glad they didn't built it. I don't know what I dislike more, exterior or the interior.

It is not paint. It is raw polished aluminum like the lip of your wheels. Imagine how messy a detail job is

Maybe stainless steel like Delorean would be more durable.
