Ford GT-B
 

:hail:

Bah! I got all excited for nothing. I saw Ford GT-B and thought it would be a new GT edition or something.
I dont get it... why put a B at the end of the name if its just a Ford GT with lambo doors and different wheels?
Unless it has some hidden secrets in the back :-D

Now Clarkson could park his GT wherever and still get in and out.

I dont see how this would actually help. you still would have to open the doors to full extension, and they open outwards. Definately wouldn't hit your head as much, but other than that I think its a somewhat useless modification to seperate yourself from the original GT40 look. I don't think it looks bad, I just think it looks like they are trying too hard to look like everyone else.

Those are more Enzo than Lambo doors, butterfly is what I keep hearing them called(?)

Yep, great car. I was at the factory that modifies the GT into that. See previous post.

The reason that these are a much better alternative than stock doors, is that with the regular GT, to get into it easily, you have to open the door all the way to their 90 degree opening. This means you can't have a car parked right next to you, or park next to an island which has a high curb, or your never get in easy (unless you want to crawl in, just like Clarkson did, lol).
With these doors, I read that you only need 18 inches of space to open them up in the air, and you can just climb on in. Much easier if a car is right up next to you, or a curb (or street sign) is next to the door, and you can't swing it out).

I think the proper term for a door like these (Enzo, and SLR doors) is a bi-hedral door (think I read it, or heard in on Top Gear).

Thanks for the info. :nice:

Would this modification be reversable do you think?
