Typo - should it be 2105?

Or, is this like reading IRS regs, a.k.a. the fine print?? :biggrin

Ha! Correct you are.

Although that would have made a good trick question!

Click on the full size image and you can clearly see they have a GT40 and a GT at the stand.

Well, I was going to vote "B.S", but this whole 'Phoenix'-rising thing would jive with a successor to the GT40/FGT. Whatever it turns out to be, I have to congratulate Ford on keeping one of the best kept automotive secrets ever.

Ya know, you Detroit boys are just having too much fun taunting the rest of us. I think it's time to put up or shut up what you know.

Yeah, the red and white look like identical cars... and they don't look like the GT40 or GT... Definitely rear engined... Oh I can't wait to see what they reveal. :thumbsup

If you look at the full size it's literally written on them. Red car says GT40, white car says GT.

Bummer, I could only find the low res... but, that speaks volumes though.

The red one looks more like my 1:10 scale MKIV Diecast Model silhouette than an original GT40.

No one on this website would ever perpetrate such a farce as substituting models for real cars!

The rear window looks long and narrow on the drawing (like the MKIV) vs. Wide and short on the MKII and the front duct is high up near the windshield (like the MK IV) rather than just above the headlights... I'm changing my vote to a MKIV Revival. :)

I wouldn't read too much into a show floor drawing. Pretty rudimentary shapes all the way around.

Probably true... but I love conspiracies ;-)
