Very good. He didn't show you how to open the front bonnet. Which is pretty far up the front of the drivers foot well on the left hand side. But there is NO space in there for anything but air!

What a phenomenal job of integrated engineering!

Anyone know what the provision is for front mounted license plate? ( Not that anyone will use it. )

I watched it intently and was really pumped up about all the cool things that I didn't know about the new GT. Absolutely a great video, a keeper for reference.

Andy, I believe it is most likely the same car we saw in Austin on display at the races.

That's news to me. There's a car cover, but never heard about a bag.

Small compartment under the drivers thigh, I use the net pocket on the 05 all the time for a phone, so will be familiar.

two choices on car cover -- indoor or outdoor. but as Tommy says... it is an option you need to order.
Several colors available for indoor type but only 2 colors for outdoor.

Luggage bag is a separate purchase also but a must have in my opinion.

....provided that you don't want to integrate any luggage!

Forgot about shift lights in the steering wheel. Thought they sounded gimmicky when I first heard the idea. Then I drove a 488 with them.

They're awesome! Like a head-up display for hitting the paddles. It's going to be so fun to drive this car.
