Hi Guys went to the VIP night at the CiAS. Ford had a great area with many vehicles. The 2018 Heritage was on display.
Also had 2 giant helmets that you went under/into and inside was a video of the Ford GT doing a lap at Lemans, passing a Ferrari as well. Pretty cool. Screen was too small but still neat. A giant Lego ford race car driver, an area with Lego pieces to build your own Ford race car driver, with helmet, hair, male and female etc. The new Ranger was the center piece.

They did the lego deal at SEMA, I built a few. I asked the woman that was lining up all the pieces, if it has been a long show, she said "you have no idea". Would be a long day arranging lego heads, torsos, legs and hair for 4 full days....

Interesting look on the Martini GT. I think the white seats were a good choice for that car.

I visited the Canadian Auto Show in Toronto last year to see the liquid red GT in person... also got to sit in the car and take several photos. Thanks Ford for the one on one up close tour of the new GT. Really looking forward to adding the new supercar to my garage... also looking forward to putting lots of miles on the new beast.

Glad you get to go Ajai. Looks like Ford keeps improving the Ford experience at auto shows. Like the helmet idea.

Yes there 10s of thousands of those pieces.slippery buggers too.they were going everywhere.
The Martini wrap was pretty cool. The wheels were huge and do a great job of filling the wheel wells. Have no idea how they would work in track mode or how they handle the car.

I like those wheels. They look very similar to what is offered on the Huracan Performante.

They might not. The "style" associated with wheels, suspension mods etc, often times, pay little attention to function.
