Judged on its own without relation to its original it is a decent car, performance is outstanding however i wouldn't buy it over a F430, gallardo, DB9 etc - it just isn't special enough.

Compared to the original, it's nothing - apart from the shape it lacks any passion. Seeing them side by side at Autosport International and the GT40 looks much better. The GT40 was a race car, the road car was derived from that.... the new GT is basically a modern replica, nothing more - it has no heritage or history. And the lack of "special feeling" is worsened by the shoddy interior and lack of a loud, decent exhasut note.

Performance wise, it's a beauty but falls to many of its competitors in other aspects.
