Love the new theme. Any chance of a power update for the later cars? As much as they’ve been working the exterior packages it would seem a little bump would make the later cars worth the wait. Can’t wait. Wish I was at SEMA to see it in person.

Cant wait to see the exposed carbon with the Lightning Blue. Bet it will be one of my favorites.

1970 Lamborghini Muira S
2008 Alfa Romeo 8C
2012 Aston Martin V12 Zagato
2014 Porsche 918 Spyder
2014 Mercedes AMG SLS black series
2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder

There will definitely be more than 10. I am not sure how accurate, but most articles are reporting about one special edition car per week. I would assume this would include the Heritage production too. From Motor Trend:
"Ford said one of the four or five vehicles assembled weekly can be a special model. Salenbauch expects this latest Series to account for 50-100 of the mix over a number of model years."

That’s about 200 future special edition cars over the course of the extended production run. Probably 50 or so of each variant assuming there is at least one more in the pipeline. I expect a final edition.
P.S. Crossing my fingers that next season’s race cars use the Gulf livery.

Or maybe all four Heritage Editions race with their winning numbers at Le Mans

I like that idea even more. The historical Porsche liveries were a huge crowd pleaser.

Have to think it will look very very cool in a lot of colors. Cant wait to see some.

Comparing investment going on a personal diet is always way cheaper than spending some money but also harder and might take longer.
In the end 10lbs might be a deciding factor when you run for the world championship but I guess not so much for 99% of the NFGT owners.

PS: Still the carbon edition looks so phenomenal

The cars are essentially the same. They delete little things like struts for the back hatch and cup holders. Add in the car on fiber wheels and titanium exhaust and lugs the overall weight savings is that much. Look at the Ford Perforance website.
