THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE NEW FGT


So glad they put in cup holders.
How is it that Schmee won't be getting his for a "few" years if he was amongst the first 500 selected?
 
Who can explain the unusual (unique?) upward curved shape of the splitter?

It looks like it would let more air under the car and create lift.

Our 05-06 FGTs have this feature too, though it's not as pronounced.

That may actually just be a splitter support that needs to be straightened or replaced.
 
Flows air to the sides of the car for less front end drag I would think. could also aid in cooling under the car for the rear.
 
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.
458's have them as well if ordered. Its approx $8000.00 CDN option. Not cheap but almost a necessity for resale as most guys want it.
Plus you get you the CF wheel, paddle shifts, Tach surround.

I was thinking the same. He is stating 2019 delivery in the comments to his video.

The bow is the way it was designed. Part of the aero packaging .
 
Race car, the bend is intentional for aero. 05/06 it is not. Bent brace.

If he was selected his order window date is know to him. The first 500 will be 2017-19.

Still confused. Aren't the first 500 this year and next year? If that's so then how is he in a few years?
 
Ernie, get your head out of the mooses behind. It will depend on the model year not calendar year.

The earliest European cars will be delivered late 2017, so most 2018 order dates will be a 2019 delivery.
 
Just watched this. Soooo envious of you guys getting one of these magnificent cars. Again, congrats gentleman!!
