2007 Ford Shelby Gr1

[Cro]

Got this in an email, not sure how true it is.

Ford has done it again

This car was put onto a LAX flight this morning.

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 mockup was molded in clay.  Now, a year later, the real thing

is on it's  away to the Detroit Auto Show.  This car wasn't a mockup or

a shell.

The sculptor, designer and escort for the car is hoping it will

take best of show this year.  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.

If only a camera could capture the sound of that V-10....

I think I've seen that, and it had some die-hard Ford fan standing infront of it dressed in a cow suit insinuating Ford were bullsh1tting the public. Something like that.
