New Body Design on a GT40 Replica Chassis

[Fuoriserie - Italo]

I've had a friend ask me in a converstation, why isn't anybody using a replica Gt40 chassis for a modern mid-engine sportscar ?

My first thought was that the cost of a replica chassis is expensive to begin with, and that maybe you could find other mid-engine chassis, for less to use on a one-off sportscar concept.

Intrigued again, by the idea of rebodying a GT40 replica chassis and just for fun of it, I've been working on a few ideas that I would like to share with you guys
Will post a few sketches soon.......

Factory Five did something like that with their GTM. Late model Corvette engine and suspension in a mid-engine car.

RCR has the modern supercar. It's called the SL-C.

the good thing with car design, is that you can always choose different shapes with which to cloth a chassis.......

A very rough sketch of the design I was considering........

Has a look that reminds me of the Ital Design Maserati from 1972...the Boomerang.

Nice, but it's just a Gt40 in drag, nothing more.......my idea is to work on a new design, not a reiteration of the same car, it doesn't make any sense.
