I know you don't do Facebook, but the comments via the link provided are entertaining.

i hope the folks in this group dont stand up in the movie theatre and shout 'hey!! thats fake! those people arent real, just actors!!' or scream at their TV sets for the same reason. of course its fake. a better word would be 'fantasy'. a little imagination and a lot of skill having some fun together. relax.

If this is an attempt to show off your/the capability of AI, I’m reassured that it is still far off from being useful. Nothing about this car even refers to anything remotely Austin-Healey… and yes Healeys did race at Le Mans. Quite successfully so, thank goodness with real smart engineers and not fake AI! All nice on paper, but Le Mans consists of asphalt, plenty of it. You should try it out!
Now for some real oddness that is oh so good.

Prior to shipping to the USA the car was aerodynamically tested extensively in a wind tunnel and the on the advice of Dr John Weaving the rear fin of the 1954 version was removed.




Note: the Carroll Shelby content in the above link is worth reading, and NO AI involved.

Below the previously mentioned fin, very Flash Gordon looking if I do say so.

And of course it was the motor oil, and not the aerodynamics - you cannot sell aerodynamics in a can.
