As an innocent, may I ask an innocent question; a decent proportion of PH content is mirrored on CarThrottle, almost word for word and very often article for article, that I have to wonder, are they linked?
Of course they both also seem to have their own stories I dependent of each other, so I’m not criticising, just asking the question...

Probably just copied from the same press releases. It's the same with youtube, where you get almost identical car launch videos from a dozen different people, all released at the same time.

While interesting and, maybe, fun, this vehicle might not be much more than art. But if GTO Engineering can make their offerings profitable, then let's see how far they might go.

As companies realize the money in restomods/continuations, these type of players will get hit with so may lawsuits....

I reckon either side will be wrong by the time its a rolling model.

Will be more like a ferrari version one of those awful David Brown GT 'Astons' than anything else

So it's a pastiche of a 250SWB with hints of 250GTO and a Zagato double bubble roof. I'm sure it'll be beautifully engineered and built but they could've come up with something original rather than make it look like a kit car.

Funniest thing I have read all month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[swisstoni]

I’m just glad to see a car that looks any good.

I'm pretty sure upwards is not the only dimension that people have grown by since the 1960s. I'm amazed when you see old TV shows from the 80s how skinny people look compared to today...

Needs less wheel, more tyre sidewall.

[GTRene]

I like it as is, also the fillercap there and the wheels, its a perfect combo and proportions what I like, classic looks with modern-ish body/suspension/wheels and brakes.

I hope they also give the interior a classic/retro look, that would be a must, also no airbags, so you can fit a nice say Nardo steering wheel or sort like and maybe some lovely toggle switches and some alu modern round ones with led light, for say rear window demist and or fog lights.

wonder what it cost in the end... under 1.000 kg with a alu V12, it could happen, hope it will, sadly the price will be to high for the 'normal' car dreamers.

I wonder if Ferrari's lawyers (or perhaps Zagato's) will come knocking. Although they lost a recent case against Ares in Italy they may still have some options open.

I was thinking exactly the same, Maranello really don't like anyone copying there work.

Just Ask Ferris Bueller and Miami Vice!!

[RemarkLima]

I'm thinking this is the slightly chunky sister's to a 250GTO... So, in isolation, would be regarded as pretty.

But then the original comes by, all svelte, lighter, more elegant and you see that it can't hold a candle sadly. It's just a bit too butch...

I don't know why anybody would buy this over the 250SWB replica that they also produce.

My thoughts exactly. It's just 'worse' in every way.

If you were a billionaire, wouldn't you rather have the real thing (that doesn't look like a kit car)??

EG: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11110583?c...

Probably looking at about £4-4.5m. Which in a world where Enzos and LaFs are £2-2.5m, seems like a fricken steal! I'll take one of each model.
