Ford has announced a new special edition version of their GT supercar, the Ford GT Carbon Series.
According to the car maker, this is their lightest GT to date at around 40 pounds lighter than the standard car, thanks to a range of carbon fiber parts which even includes the wheels. This weight reduction is achieved through meticulous engineering and the use of advanced materials, making the car not only lighter but also more agile and responsive on the road and track.
Innovative Design and Engineering
The Ford GT Carbon Series is a testament to Ford’s commitment to innovation and performance. The extensive use of carbon fiber is not just for aesthetics; it significantly enhances the car’s performance by reducing weight and increasing rigidity. The carbon fiber wheels, for instance, are not only lighter than traditional alloy wheels but also stronger, providing better handling and acceleration.
“The Ford GT Carbon Series stands out on the road with its striking carbon fiber-rich design and on the track with its athleticism,” says Hermann Salenbauch, global director, Ford Performance. “It is yet another example of how we can bring to life our Le Mans-winning supercar in new and exciting ways so our customers can share in that magical legacy.”
The exterior of the Ford GT Carbon Series is designed to turn heads. It features two exposed carbon fiber stripes that run the length of the car, giving it a distinctive and aggressive look. The A-pillars and lower body panels are also made from carbon fiber, further reducing weight and enhancing the car’s aerodynamic profile. The gloss carbon fiber wheels not only look stunning but also contribute to the car’s overall performance.
Luxurious and Functional Interior
Inside, the Ford GT Carbon Series continues the theme of lightweight performance with a luxurious touch. The interior features matte carbon fiber sills, air register pods, and a center console, offering the most exposed carbon fiber of any Ford GT model. This not only reduces weight but also gives the interior a high-tech, futuristic feel.
