ID this exotic car ?
Saw this ahead of me on the highway, sounded like a TT V8, maybe V10... Thought it was a McLaren or maybe even a Pagani at 1st, but definitely a rear/mid engine "supercar".
I was in my 4runner coming from the dog park (Doberman onboard), and this guy wasn't waiting for idiots who clog the far left passing lane.
Couldn't catch him without driving like a doorknob. I was doing up to ~125km/hr or 75-80 MPH, but would get caught behind the idiots as he passed with ease.
Anyhow, I Google'd the usual suspects (MC12, 570/650/720, Huayra) but can't find one that matches this car.
The exhaust is directly above the license plate, wing appeared to be flat and spanned almost the entire rear end.
He went into the next subdivision over from mine, and I've not seen it around in the ~3 years I've lived here. Sounded* mean as hell, too !
I have seen Kit Cars around, I have a pic & video of a white SL-C that ripped past me a couple years ago. So it could be something similar.
*sorry, no audio

All pictures of Gord Gt gen 2, seem to show the body paint stopping kinda level with the tail lights, or a few inches below.
Directly below the lights is the diffuser, which is full width and painted black.
This car has body color painted panels way below the tail lights.

Built 2008 G55 & one big 80 Series LandCruiser !
I saw one of these ( GT40) and a new vette going thru Houston yesterday both with Manuf. tags..... somebodies doing some testing, betting at COTA (both cars were red) and then I saw a new blue NSX a few miles later going the same direction... sadly I was in my old 80 series landcruiser and had no hope of staying with them...
they sure sounded mean for the brief second they passed me in traffic.

It was DEFINITELY not a Fort GT or GT-40... And the rear end doesn't jive with a Konigsegg unfortunately.
I'm leaning towards some kind of Kit Car... I have seen a Saleen S7 around town, a few years ago, but it wasn't that either.
Someone will find a match...! I went through most of this list, maybe someone will think of one of the cars I didn't look at.

It’s not hard. You’re looking for a car with reverse lights flanking the license plate. There aren’t many, keep trying....

That McLaren 650s Spyder looks close, but not quite...
It's still missing the reverse lights flanking the plate, and the body "wraps around" under the tail lights and right over to the reverse lights.
Thanks though.

I saw a video of a car like that in Beverly hills, pretty sure thats what you saw as well. It reminds you of a car from GTA but not quite there lol. Front is weird as well. I believe it was a kit car.
