Judging by the amount of FTOs, I'd say you guys actually got them over there. I didnt think they made them in LHD. Wonder why we never got them..I think they look pretty cool.

All of them are Brits.....I actually have never seen one of these before!

When one of them passed me, when we were standing under the "Bilstein Bridge" at the Döttinger Höhe (sneaked in lol), I first couldn't tell what car it was....a friend of mine explained it to me.

I heard of the FTO before but couldn't specify it at this moment.

Forza and Gran Turismo ftw, you can learn alot of cars with those games lol

Mitsubishi FTO - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



we have almost the same situation here with the Ford Mustang.

Ford does not offer the actual Mustang in Germany.

But people use to import them by themselfes, so the German car distributor "Geiger Cars" in Munich, who is specialised in American Cars of all kind and brand, took the chance and is now the "official" distributor for Mustangs in Germany.

Same thing with the new Challenger (saw 2 in person, are smaller than expected)

same with the new Camaro when it comes out

etc
