New GT in Spain

[bonehead]

Few stops and starts, a bit of trouble restarting at one point. Can hear the V6 and TT's fairly well.

Ouch!!! not the best PR I've seen. Car looks awesome though!

Not ideal, but expected growing pains. There's a vid out there of Camilo struggling to get one of the prototype GT's started at one of the first unveilings. Pebble Beach, maybe??

Don't take much from that engine noise.

Show car stuff.

Sounds nice. How is he managing to blip the throttle with the DCT transmission in drive and not go bunny hopping down the road?

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice that.

The magic of show cars...

And a LOT of trouble to get that thing into gear with its show-car pneumatic shifting. (Sounds like a Radical.)

 

[FENZO]

Is the rear wing active aero? I don't see a lot of room for actuators.

 

[dbk]

Yes, it is.

They need to load the tune from the car running around the streets in Detroit

Meaning that the blue car isn't running a DCT, but probably is running a sequential-type racing gearbox?

 

[Gierkink]

Transaxle.

I thought someone was shingling a roof in the background.

 

[gtinmyblood]

Still a very very very sexy car!

LOL!!!!!

I swore I heard the same roof gun in the background as well! We ARE on the same page.

I heard enough of that putting myself through school working construction. If I never hear it again it'll be too soon.

Give them some slack -

Remember guys

You won't see the engine and transaxle on the blue demo car, because it would not relate to the the final parts that will come with the car. Likely it was a standard V6 with a transmission that will allow easy, slow maneuvering. It's a demo, concept car (& the 1st) - not a production vehicle.

 

[nota4re]

Likely it was a standard V6

Perhaps a near stock V6 - but definitely a TT. The turbos spooling up and down is exactly what they sound like when there is NOTHING but tubing between them and the tips. Unfortunately, cats and mufflers will have to be fitted and then it is bye, bye turbo spool sound..... well, at least until we can get our hands on one!

Found it. Believe this was Pebble Beach. Can anyone confirm? Temperamental start-up of the prototype obviously didn't hurt this car And look at those narrow rear tires!

I know - they could ONLY sell 4,038 of them!
