Ah yes you're right, I read the entire press release and still missed it :frusty:I listed ACC as a new option, and it's also mentioned in the release.

A US model is still better because it offers more kit plus red sequential taillights and smaller mirrors and with the digital dash you can now switch a US car to kilometers.Yes, also why no BLIS? Would be cool on such a huge car. But nevertheless I think Ford really stepped up their game for the EU Model this time. On the preFL I always thought having an US Model is so much better
Isn't it just looped around the back towards the windshield, still compliant with pedastrian safety and still provides some stiffness. Like many other EU sports cars, just look at the BMW M4, they decided to loop it towards the front so it's more visible. But it's definetly there.Interesting tidbit on the press pictures: both the EcoBoost and the GT have no strut tower brace
Well Ford knew this so wonder if the over the top brace even adds any function over the brace in the back, unless you go for the track maybe. Ofc over the top is much easier to absorb the stresses between to two struts but the way the back piece has been angled in different ways suggest it's gone through some heavy design phases to ensure it's enough.Those braces are on all cars see:
The reason there is no strut tower brace probably has to do with the active hood and pedestrian protection. Supposedly there has to be a certain amount of travel between the top of the engine and the hood to comply with certain EU pedestrian safety regulations. I remember Carl Widmann talking about that in one of the videos.
That doesn't mean we can't install our own stb of course.
On the this page, I think it is Spanish, they are speaking about BLIS...see here...https://ibb.co/fCoqpFYes, also why no BLIS? Would be cool on such a huge car.

But it's not in the officiall press release, so I think they made an error on the spanish source. Remember that italian PreFL had front parking sensor in their first brochures as an option :lol:On the this page, I think it is Spanish, they are speaking about BLIS...see here...https://ibb.co/fCoqpF
