    This GT40 Dream Machine really stands atop the mountain of legendary cars in a very narrow circle. Not only for the fact of what it is as a GT40 Beast Build; but the entire execution, fit and finish of the build, engineering and sheer class of performance and quality. This thing brings tears to my eyes as one of the most jaw dropping car builds I've ever seen in my life, one of one barely begins to describe this Gem of a car... It is otherworldly perfect, the history and legacy and the countless upgrades to the famous formula and the way it all comes together. One of those things man that makes you appreciate being alive today for truly just how god damn perfect this piece of automotive art could be. Stellar cinema
