Quite the contrary with KW HLS suspension for the 05/06 which is down when engine is off.

The car needs to be running to be in the lowered mode.

Oh no - I would need a kill switch when going to car shows... :biggrin

I told them already they need to reflash a "cars and coffee" mode.

Isn't the button for manually raising the spoiler already meant for that? (or is it one of the modes that puts the spoiler up independent of speed?).

Road&Track: "And fear not, showoffs: The rear wing will still raise up even if you haven't dropped the car down into its super-low Track suspension setting. In Normal mode, the wing goes up at 90mph, down at 81; in Sport mode, the wing goes up at 71, down at 45. Even better, you can raise the rear wing to its full plumage when parked. But be warned: it'll retract as soon as you drive off—unless you're in Track mode, which you shouldn't be unless you're at the track."

Just awaiting final confirmation on the schedule, but they should have a full production car there that you will be able to sit in Phil.

HI there,

I'm following this forum since some Ford choose me to be on the list, many thanks again, i'm super happy to be between the lucky ones ;like you guys! It's very interesting to read here as we guys in Europa hear hardly anything from the "Concierge Service". So far I asked them twice to update me if it's possible to try out the Geneva Car. I also wondered if it's possible to order the competition version in Europa but to both accounts they have not come back to me. Now the Geneva show is approaching and I need to do some bookings so I was hoping you guys can inform me if the NFGT is on display and possible to sit for guys on the listr. I don't think it's hard to have the list there and show your passport to get to feel the NFGT up close.

Thanks in advance,
Cheers Philipp

I think they are talking about having the car stay in the low position when turned off with the wing in the up position

Many thanks for this great info Stormcat!!

This morning I got a call from Ford explaining me as well that there will be a NFGT on display and indeed it will be possible for the lucky ones like me being selected to feel the car up close. I'm extremely looking forward to see the Heritage up close as thats my no 1 choice.

Cheers and thanks again!

So this is not a real Heritage car but probably the no.1 car with matt wrap and Heritage stickers (mirrors not installed and no mounting points visible)? Although difficult to see if these are the carbon wheels.

Is it actually that white protoype with a wrap?
