the back end looks like a nod to another historical race car. its called the superformance coupe or daytona coupe or something like that. hot car. the original car was designed for shelby and won the world GT championship in the 60s. so i think shelby is just bringing it back, sort of.

the funny thing is, theres a company in south africa thats making reproductions of the original design.

heres that car
