Yes it is
GRobDC
It's a reproduction, not an original
SS2000Ali
If it was REAL, it wouldn’t be rolling on the street...?
martinsc0
I would need to install another reverse light
HeadlessNorseman
Are all f the daytonas coming out of hiding now? I swear ive seen a handful posted in the last month or two. Stunning cars to say the least.
wattavan
All of the REPLICAS are...
HeadlessNorseman
Ah, I didnt know people were making replicas of it, thanks for the heads up!
Speedmetal05
Now that's a sexy beast! Look at that rump! Look at it!
Slothforhire
That's a fat ass

Only shelby i know is the one from the fucking peaky blinders

My dream is to build a factory 5 type 65. I don't think it will happen now.

Factory five?
UkranianShovelFighter
More than likely. I believe that Shelby American only made 6 of the original Cobra Daytona coupes.
Plumberdude
I think I just busted a nut
captainfakeypants
Does anyone else think that this car would have looked much better with the roadster's curvaceous rump intead of this welded flat plate?
Shelby306
Yay, my username is relevant.

And @op username isn’t applicable.

dang... that back must have generated so much negative pressure

Mr. Shelby?
Eunoterp
Sorta cool, looks like a prototype
lddiaz
Le Mans GT class 1966.
marsgoose
It's a kit car, you can roll your own for a reasonable amount of money and unreasonable amount of time and cursing.
projectsxe109
Pretty sure that car was manufactured in 2015

DubiousMagikarp
Even if they have a ugly back end like this one?

Kammbacks aren't for everyone...
DemSumBigAssRidges
That ugly back changed how we thought about aerodynamics on cars. Show some respect.
HeyItsJP
YOU TAKE THAT BACK.
dajuan
It was overlooked cus everyone focused on the GT40 at that time, but this car has really interesting story as well. Aerodynamics.
TheAwkardDrip
This is hands down my favorite classic Le Mans car, the Daytona Coupe, the only thing I find slightly prettier is the Ferrari 250 GTO
JoaoDouradoSantos
I put the cheetah in the list, but can not choose the order!
Thisisheavydoc
250 GTO is fantastic. To me though, the Mercedes 300sl is the best looking car.
TheAwkardDrip
Shoot talking Mercedes I gotta say the W196, right before they left racing all together that was a nice vehicle right there!
slapmethrice
Both spectacular. However the 250LM and Lamborghini Miura are my favourites.
wattavan
It's a REPLICA...3rd brake light DIDN'T exist when they were built
Buttfarming
This was also the fastest car on the free mode of GranTurismo on PS1
ungentlemexican
Both amazing but the Alfa 33 stradale takes the honors for me

EvilLyn01
Agreed!
mangrovia
Y'all wouldn't know beauty if it crash through your living room!
BobaFettApproves
Did you get that in a happy meal in the mid 90s?
EverSeeAnyonePutOnACondomWithACrowbar
Ahh, the thing that killed Pontiac

So it isn't actually your favorite

Eagle Speedster remake on the E Type Jag is my bae
TheAwkardDrip
You know it’s a beautiful car when Enzo Ferrari calls it a beautiful car haha
starwarder
Right? I mean look at that ass *bites lip*
Dragon10449
I can actually see a bit of the inspiration for the modern f type rear from that. Definitely a great look
getguds
how about xj13? https://imgur.com/RswvFAi
MrStickyCheeks
This gets my pistons moving.
BecauseLeapYear
Nope. Not with that ass end.
CorgisButtsDriveMeNuts
Only 1 reverse light pisses me off :(
CrapsMcgee
everything was going fine till the back. thats ugly.
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
It's like that horse drawing that gets around
iamnid
Watch "Shelby American" on Netflix. That back is why it was so successful
BeaveIt2Leaver
Its ugly because you don't understand it. There will always be beauty in function.
robindawilliams
It's called a K-tail, and has massive benefits to aerodynamics.
chefsoda
It's a purpose built race car. Function first
MightyZephyr
michael4576
It was done to reduce turbulent air behind the car.
eightytwoeightytwoeightytwo
why do we care about the air behind the car we're already past it
djzapz
It still increases drag if it does the wrong physics things
cactuskid1956
BS is fucking beautiful.
Ganonderf
Looks like when you take just the heel off of a loaf of bread
wattavan
there was no such thing as 3rd brake light for that time period...FAKE
beachbum273
You go get a "real" one then. I'll wait.
DrInkDrinker
Looks like a real car to me.
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
Its a repro made by Superformance. $165k
SS2000Ali
Superformance...?
PoisonHugs
Its not the 3rd brake light, its the single Reverse light on one-side which is bothering me tooo much
ufoara
Said the same in europe. Thought there were lots of burt out bulbs, Asked locals and they only require one. But a Rear Fog light is required
AC4400CW
Mounted into the spoiler
ufoara
not talking about brake lights.
SS2000Ali
It’s a Euro ‘fog light’...?
PoisonHugs
Good to know mate

There’s always a farming connection with Ferrari competition... ferruccio Lamborghini started out as a tractor builder and only went into 1/
kctrainmechformallykcbusmech87
Building sports cars after buying a Ferrari and being so completely underwhelmed by the thing he wrote a letter to Enzo Ferrari 2/
kctrainmechformallykcbusmech87
Enzo replies saying “what would a tractor builder know about building sports cars” so ferrucio went and built the Lamborghini Miura
Phdg1
First the 350 GT then the 400 gt and then the beautiful Muira
Skadoodlle
That looks like the base for the Ford GT40
Orthy
They had the same motor
