It would be difficult to argue that it is not the precursor to the GT40.

There was never any doubt the Lola 6GT was the forerunner of the GT40. It was just a news splurge put out by Fords to cloud the issue that they had the identical car on the drawing board plus they said the Lola would take off at its maximum speed, just things I read at the time.
