lesd Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Has anyone heard whether the top speed of the convertible will the same as the coupe's? it would be great to match the 202 top speed of the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible.

shel-b001 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 If it isn`t it will be close to 200 I would think. A few mods & your there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesd Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yes and I hope is it rated that high reflecting confidence by the engineers. The commentary online from SVT Nameplate Engineer Jamal Hameedi about strengthening the front fascia of the 2012 to withstand the new top speed was awesome.

rhlgt500 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I don't believe the '13 GT500 convertible has been announced yet. Spy photos, photoshop work and speculation are all that I've seen so far. Rumors that it would be shown at the Detroit Auto Show were fail. Chicago and NY are the remaining big auto shows for the year and I'd expect something at one of them. It is possible Ford will govern the convertibles max speed if they are worried about aerodynamics. They can't be as good as the hard top with the top up or down. But anything is possible, I'm surprised Ford is letting the hardtop out the door without a governor. Will be interesting to see if the SVTPP and track pack options are both offered on the convertible as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesd Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I confirmed at the Detroit show that the track pack option is not available on the convertible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
