Re: is it...
Well the origional if u want to get technical was a Ford design, but created and assembled in the UK. So I would say it technically is a british car, but the new one kinda out does the old ( hitting the new speed of 205mph see ya Ferrari F50!). That is kinda hard 4 me to say considering those are my favorite #1 and #2 cars ever.

Well, actually, the original Lola design didn't win the Le Mans. It was a pretty poor design and was underpowered. The front end of the Lola design produced 300 pounds of lift at speed. Ford redesigned it, also with the help of Lola, I believe, and they threw in their own big ass engine for the version that actually ended up winning the race 4 years in a row that got it so famous.
