Granturismo - Carbon Roof?

[DDRocket]

Hi All,

Spotted this car today, great spec with what seems like every carbon option. It mentions a carbon roof - was this an option or maybe its actually a wrap?

Thanks Dan

Never heard of or seen a carbon roof, so I’d say it’s a wrap.

Definitely a wrap.
The only roof option on the GT was the branding pack on the Strad:

Thanks all, I suspect as much.

Love the branding pack on the strad, yet to that on any autotrader cars.

I retro fitted it to mine (as shown above). Only a couple of hundred Pounds and easily removed if necessary.

There isn’t anything in the brochure and option lists to say a carbon roof was available…

Makes you wonder what other descriptive details are wrong.

If I am correct, I know this car. All the options are factory spec with the exception of the carbon look roof. It has the some pretty rare and no doubt expensive options like carbon fibre rear diffuser, carbon fibre exhaust tips and other interior ones like Carbon fibre instrument cluster with the black face MC Stradale type dials.

OEM or not, the defuser fins look like aftermarket afterthoughts, not a complete defuser. Also I was not aware of the splitter option which in this case is unfortunately hidden behind the number plate.
Does look like a well spec’d car though.

I'd agree, from the photo they do look like add ons. My original GC had a carbon diffuser and it was all carbon, an all in one piece.

Indeed, the car looks a bit 'got at' to me

I imagine most of that is modification rather than options.

Agreed on this, mine has all factory carbon packs including the original factory carbon diffuser (agreed it is a single piece of carbon fibre, not just the fins) and also the 'carbon' exhaust tips on this ad look aftermarket (I can see a screw on the side, where mine are original and no such screws showing).

Here are some pics from previous owner of mine which show the factory fit carbon might help to compare:

Nice specced GT [mention]MaserDan [/mention]

Agree on the diffuser…the stick ons aren’t my taste, much better as one piece imo

TBF though I’ve never seen aftermarket carbon tips, I’d probably have some if they were available!
