Personally I see several styling cues that point to a distinct if subtle family homage to the original GT40. The entire upper front surface from the lip of the bumper to the lights, over the hood and including the windshield shape and front roofline are all GT40. The side buttress/wing/scoop/tunnel treatment is a growth of the small buttress scoop behind the side window in the MKI '40's. Even the overbite looking at the nose from the side pays tribute to its grandaddy. Is it also a bit Aventadorish as well? Definitely. But I'm pretty sure if I saw the photos with no info whatsoever, I would recognise the GT40 DNA.
