Julian, you are talking about a kit car. This is not a kit car project. 

The kit car rules have the car sold through a dealer uncompleted, then sent to an installer who conducts the drivetrain etc installation. 

This is a completely different set of circumstances. This is a low-volume, turn-key car, which would only be possible thanks to a new set of state (and federal?) statutes.

That would offer a vehicle that is out of reach to more people due to exceptionally low production volume, whereas I would still drop $250K on a GT5S over $300K on a replica of it, to think that is a viable business model is asinine. BTW the low volume bill really isn't as big a deal as first made out as it only covers 'replicas' and of a vehicle built more than '25 years ago' so does nothing for small volume modern supercars like the Superlite SLC / Ultima and plethora of high performance kits that don't mirror a vintage vehicle. It simply legaleezes an industry that already exists.

It’s possible they are trying to patent the GT5-S shape for that reason. My this reasoning, it would then be a new car and not a replica of an existing car?

Ken?
