Most people would take a POS and slap a body kit on to make it look like a Ferrari...

Get yourself a pedal powered go cart for a much cheaper but similar experience.

It's sitting high at the back, I'd also want a massive amount of proof it's a genuine GT before parting with £27K for a Cortina, it's probably a cross between a 1300L and a 2.0 GXL.

It will mainly be remembered for the terrible demo to show how strong the glass is, it shattered at the first attempt.

WTF is it?

Tesla CyberTruck. All wheel drive all electric. 0-60 2 and a bit seconds. Main thing is 304 stainless steel exoskeleton chassis. Bullet proof glass because why not. Doesn't really matter what it looks like, it's a truck.

The panels are virtually indestructible and even if they do pick up damage, easy to replace. The cheapest version is virtually the cheapest model in the range.

Sadly, they have six hundred thousand pre-orders so no chance of getting one for a couple of years. they're still finishing of the dedicated factory (giga-factory). Raw material goes in one end, trucks roll out the other. It is one dirty great big production line.

Elon has a habit of going large. His battery production line (giga-factory) takes raw materials in one end (chemicals, metallic ores) and fires out 18650 batteries the other end at a rate not dissimilar to a Thompson machine gun.

It is the future though they don't all have to look this ugly.
