Don’t let the poll deceive you. There is only one car, and the windscreen and top can both be taken out to turn it into a roadster, or speedster, or a coupe at your discretion.

Yeah why does this have polls all those options should be a part of the customization ingame

  1. To give the Dev an idea of what people would prefer as a default option.

  2. Ideally it should have the customization to switch it up but no car in Forza so far has featured this ability as an upgrade option so it’s not a guarantee.

some cars like the ford bronco (the original one) or the international scout 800A has this as an option. the roof is fully removable, though I subbose I dont think any have the ability to remove the windscreen(?) some cars like the original corvette or caterham R500 SHOULD have the ability to have with and without windscreen, but dont.

Yup, so far we only have those roof options like you mentioned and now the convertible tops feature (which still isn’t fully implemented).

Hopefully the next step is to allow more in-depth conversions for vehicles which support it.

Hopefully they do the same thing with the Dallara
Stradale as it also a Speedster and the windshield roof and doors are all removable
