Any vehicle that goes 0-60 in under 4 seconds needs at least 275 width tires to grab the road.
Heh, in. 1965, Car and Driver tested a full-size Pontiac Catalina 2+2 at 3.9 0-60. Yes, the car was a Bobcat, so it was much crazier than a bone-stock car. The tires, however were far less than a 275 section width, being 8.25x14 tires. I’m sure that the test car had some sort of street and strip tire, making them far stickier than any street tire.

Had an extra day in Chicago, so I made my way to the Auto Show. According to the Ford rep, those are the wheels, not aero covers.

New Kia Ioniq6 looks really nice too. The brushed pewter finish was quite striking.

Ugh I really hope he's wrong. I think the website says it's covers and not the actual wheel.

When you zoom in the black area does seem to be separated from the wheel too.

Sorry if this is a repeat but did anyone notice there is an extra button on the GT. I believe someone from Ford in a YouTube video I saw said there would be a button there to turn off stability and traction control but no other trim level would have it so I’ve been looking for a picture that shows it and found one earlier in this thread….

Its a bit blurry, but kinda looks like a traction control off button.

I REALLY hope he is wrong also.
The Ford dealer order guide describes the GT wheels as: ''Wheels – 20" Machined-Face Aluminum with High Gloss Black-Painted Pockets and Aero Cover''.
This description is in both the GT standard equipment section and the wheel selection page.

I never say never but all signs point to that absolutely having aero covers installed, and the inserts not being the wheel.

the startup animation looks to have the non GT front fascia animation. Would be nice if that was updated to match the GT nose.

The website says aero covers, not removable aero covers.

I looked at them pretty closely, the face didn’t seem like it popped off. Either way, they’re ugly af.

If they weren't removable they wouldn't be called covers. They would be called wheels

Is there an embargo going on or something? Seems like the Mach-E GT being in Chicago would be all over YouTube with auto journalists / influencers but it's been pretty much radio silence.
