To reply to your question about what a GT6+ would look like now, you have to take into account the total lack of originality in today's crop of automobiles.
Most likely it would reflect the current trend of being too overly wraparound inside, and shaped liked a shaved M&M on wheels outside, like every other car on the roads today. The dash would be some horrid soft grey plastic, with black trim and features, contoured like rolling hills. The center of the dash would squirm back into a fully dividing console- it would have a sound system capable of traumatizing the deaf, and GPS, so people can find themselves when lost. The seats would be a leatherette bucket, but with some dastardly deviations to fit the "Generation X" market demographics desires. A/C would be "de regeur". Exterior appointments would include the thin tire, large rim approach, with the ugly chromes alloys, that the truly devoid of taste and style throw on thinking they have class because of it. There would be no stainless trim, and the taillights would have the clear lenses and tiny colored bulbs. The engine would be some dandy little front wheel drive powerplant, with the obligatory tin can exhaust, to charm the trixie set in Hondas and Acuras away... You wouldn't be able to pop the bonnet and work on it yourself- they would have every square inch jammed with something. Basically, a cookie cutter reproduction of every other sports car on the road- no class, no style, just a homogenized bunch of gimmicks and dohickeys for those fooled into believing that only a shop certified technician should look under the hood, and who are easily distracted by shiny things. They would also come with a small tape recording of a strange "whirring" sound- that of Michelotti spinning in his grave.(Is he dead yet?- if not the concept would kill him!) I'll just stick with the happy notion of what they do look like- I prefer not to contemplate what today's lackluster designers would do to it.
