Default DRIVE: 2012 CT 200h F-Sport Special Edition

2012 CT F-Sport Special Edition - Starfire Pearl w/Ocean Blue NuLuxe interior.


Day 1: Wednesday 10/12/11:

Initial impression of the car from the outside...SHARP! The F-Sport Springs give it a nice stance and the wheels fit neatly in the wheel wells and the F-Sport badging makes it known that this isn't your typical CT.

This car looks like the CT F-Sport Concept Car unveiled at SEMA in Las Vegas just last year. It sports special liquid graphite 17" split 5 spoke Trident wheel. This wheel was fashioned off the LF-Ch concept car which was built by Five Axis for TMC.








Here is a pic of the CT F-Sport Special Edition with my ISF.




More to come...

So the CT Special Edition has LED headlights?! Please say yes. If it is, you just made my day man!! That's the only thing I would missed having from my previous cars!

What are the differences and how much more is it?

I drove the regular ct200 the other week, but was not quite sold on it. Maybe this one has what it takes to make me take the plunge.

If you were not sold on the regular CT200, chances are slim that you will on this one since there's literally not much mechanical difference except for the sport suspension tuning and the lowering springs. The engine and everything else is pretty much the same. However, it is much sportier cosmetically. And the MSRP of this Special Edition is $37,995 + $870 (delivery charge).
