Made of stuff that will slowly rust over time and move at the speed of the bottleneck of cars around you.

One of, if not the most historic race cars in history.

The Mk2 is mental, but I wish it looked a little more like this.
GuRoo
That is a GT40 Mk2…. Split tail lights and raised air scoops. The Mk1 was the inspiration for the newer version surrounding this car.

One of the greatest British cars ever.

Kiwi. Bruce McClaren was a Kiwi as was Denny Hulme.

And neither designed the car…

What happened to the other 15 of them?
LabVIEWBreaker
One was at Sawgrass Ford in S FL many years ago, probably on a tour of the Ford Dealerships
csmithku2013
It might’ve been this one. The museum is in Florida as well.
csmithku2013
No idea. I talked to the workers there a bunch about the GTs and Cobras. One of them said the owner has turned down $10M offers for this one
PataRican
Is this in Florida? Pretty sure I met the guy who owns all these cars. He has hundreds in that warehouse
PataRican
csmithku2013
Yep! 300-ish on display and another 100 in his garage.

I get that this car is so rare but can't you reproduce it? Is that not possible? I know it feasible for most ppl but 10mill+ seems lot more
csmithku2013
Same thing with art. Yes, I can print a copy of the Mona Lisa off my printer, but that doesn't mean anyone wants to buy that copy.
DontTazeMeBrah
Not saying its gonna be worth 10mill but you can drive it unlike the Mona Lisa. Even with car collecting there is practicality, no?
csmithku2013
No. At 30+% of the collection were track only cars that would no longer meet track safety requirements for you to be allowed to drive. 1/2
csmithku2013
And beyond that, track only cars typically can't be driven on the streets. Only four cars in the entire collection were even registered.
MrWigglees
How much of the front end hangs past the front wheel? Built like a city bus this vehicle.
csmithku2013
Maybe 2 feet (60cm) at the center.
MrWigglees
Oh okay not too bad, just looks like way more.
csmithku2013
163” length, 95” wheelbase, so 34” from center of wheel to tip of nose assuming the wheels are perfectly centered on the chassis.
csmithku2013
But yeah, it does seem like an exaggerated proportion

I never did get around to watching Speed Racer. Gonna watch it next.
positiveleroy
If you watched it as a kid, it’s good for nostalgia’s sake. Otherwise it…doesn’t really hold up.

LordAuditorVorkosigan
watch it high, it's fabulous
SocoFox
It is gloriously cartoony in a way that pays proper homage to the original show.
HammSlammage
I watched it when I was relatively young I think 7 or 8 years old. Don’t remember much, other than the non stop epilepsy inducing lights

This movie got so much hate, and the talky scenes got really dull fast, but I adored those race scenes. I STILL re-watch those regularly!
