Who has picked up on all its neat features yet??

[B.M.F.]

Threw all the videos/pictures who has picked up on anything cool?? The car has a lift system in it for ground clearance :biggrin
There is one thing!

That's accomplished by active torsion bars.

One thing I noticed that the car does not have, is center lock hubs. Of course this could change as the car is finalized.

Also the 350r has CF wheels, you would think the gt would be the technology leader, but I'm sure that's dictated by the FIA rule book

The GT will NOT have centerlugs. They are heavier and they are a pita.. they come loose etc. Porsche and many car companies had learning issue with centerlugs.

That's why you have tick boxes.

Carbon Fiber Tub
Carbon Fiber Body Panels
Active Aero with a deployable rear spoiler.
Torsion bar and Pushrod Suspension
Adjustable ride height


It's a seriously sophisticated piece of equipment. Performance limits are going to be very high.

The waste gate vented to exit through the hole in the center of the brake lights!

There will be no a/c. Nor a radio either

How about how the door opens, bringing the lower sill up with it making ingess and egress much easier? No sill to climb over?

That's not what's in the brake lights.

There is AC and a radio.

1) Is it possible these comments were honestly made? Or just variations between street/non-street versions?

2) The answer to your taillight statement is ?

 

[Silverbullitt]

The and AC and radio delete was on the 350R

 

[Silverbullitt]

I didn't see a subwoofer.

Maybe someone confused when Raj was talking about the GT350R and attributed it to the GT. The GT350R comes with no AC or radio as standard equipment. GT definitely has both, as well as the whole SYNC 3 system.

I saw the wastegate comment on R&T, asked someone on the program and they said that's not the case.

 

[Tupps11]

Any info on electronics yet? I'd imagine that this car would need some pretty advanced traction control modes/systems or brake steer to compete with the likes of Ferrari, McLaren, and Lambo...

I heard them say this about the 350R but not the GT. Why would the GT not have ac or a radio? If its a grand touring car, at least the street version should have these things. Without AC, its not a street car.

 

[twobjshelbys]

And GTE class cars are required to have A/C. So you can be pretty sure the system will be light and efficient.

I think I saw a rear view camera

Thanks Dave… guess I'm easily mis-lead by folks who "should know", but really don't.

Aren't backup cameras one of the new mandated features? Of course the car has to have ABS, traction control and stability control, so launch control is a software task.

They are heavier for sure, but I've never had a problem with my Heffner centerlugs on my Gt, or the ones on my SPF Cobra for that matter.
Best,
Mark

No worries! Stereo and AC are visible on the studio in car pics.
