I didn't think it had a chromed engine compartment.
How hot is that car guys? How about a couple pictures of the car with the hood on ( I love the factory hood scoops!). |

It IS factory but it IS NOT a "production" car. There were supposedly two cars built as prototypes. One is thought to have been destroyed and this is the only known existing "factory" supercharged MKVIII. It's a beautiful car in person, and from what I've seen, DAMN FAST too! |

Well, if it is one of two that would be different. I was getting the impression that there were loads of them rolling around. |

Nope. Like I said, "factory" but not "production". Matter of fact, many parts on this car are one of a kind including the electronics. From what I recall, the owner had a good deal of trouble just getting the car to start originally. Since there is no service documentation on this car and it's systems, he was forced to go back to Ford engineers for info. I guess that's the down-side of having a one of a kind car. It's a beautiful car though. |

Oh yeah, I'd love to have the car. It's remarkable that ford even released it to the wild. I've read of one other such car. It was a Cobra R prototype. They sold it so someone who uses it as a race car. Trouble is the owner can only sell it back to Ford and then it will be destroyed. | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
