Saw it in the paper.

I like the way they are commemorating the 60's ferrari beating GT40 convertibles in such a..... but wait. There was no fucking convertible originally

Its a bit of a money spinner now IMO... and over-priced for a Ford.

Me - i'd buy a GT40 (if i really wanted one) and get the new Focus cabrio for posing (when it surfaces)

However, i like the two roof options. A clever design

seems Ford no longer gives a shit about honoring the original car

To me, the hardtop isn't that great to look at, and chopping off the roof made it worse. Way to go Ford, cater for the bling crowd :fist:

but what if you combine the focus cabrio and the gt40 and you get a new car, you just cut the roof of a gt40 and make some adjustment to the body and you get a completly diffrent car

yes its a money spinner but its a handsome one

personnaly I do not like it !! even the color is not cool !!

IMO, the only one is the GT...the rest is only marketing and might kill the image of the GT40. :cry:
