'How we doing for red paint?'

'Not much left boss.'

'Better put the price up then! How about yellow?'

'Oh we've got loads of that. I've painted my bike, lawnmower and garage door in it and I'm not sure the wife will like the bedroom colour now either and we've still got tons. Some Donald fella rang though and was asking about hair colouring...'

Something like that?

Not exactly, yellow is $5000 extra too.

How much of an option would it be to leave it raw carbon?

Not possible. That is not an option. Don't ask. Trust me.

Ford has not publicly discussed some options but will be in the near future.

I am guessing it will be the Ford GT-R?

Wow and there was me thinking you'd get a discount for yellow :lol Joking aside if it's the same yellow as your 05 car, it'll look great having both next to each other.

Jim mentioned this at lunch at Goodwood last year and we agreed you'd have to be a special sort of person to order it.

Sadly looks like competition and Heritage are yet more options that Europe won't get. :frown

Given the numerous cars already sporting the GT-R name, I can't imagine Ford would call any version of this car that. And that is IF it got a new name at all. I might guess there is a "competition package" that is an option, but it doesn't result in the car getting a new name. If it did, though, I'd guess they look no further than the class names in which their race cars compete - GTLM or GTE. GTLM would be my guess.
