+1 Samson. Everything is derivitive of something which came before. There really is no more truly unique design.

Add to that the 'computer' guides the designer's hand these days much more than any muse.

Even the original Z design was derived from the e-type coupe. It's uniqueness stemmed from the performance available at it's unheard of pricepoint.

The inspiration for the legendary (and many say groundbreaking) Miura was the GT40 and the Mini Cooper.
