The new 2019 Ford GT Carbon Series is the lightest car from the Ford GT lineup and a star among new Ford models. It comes in weighing almost 40 pounds less than other production Ford GT models, thanks to the implementation of lightweight innovations and materials used. This includes carbon fiber wheels and the use of a titanium exhaust, titanium lug nuts, and polycarbonate rear hatch that has additional venting.
The engineers at Ford outfitted the Ford GT Carbon Series Edition with certain creature comfort features, such as an air conditioning system and the SYNC® 3 infotainment system, and did away with cupholders and a driver’s side seat storage bin.
“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 boasts two exposed carbon fiber stripes with matching A-pillars, lower body panels, and a set of gloss carbon fiber wheels. Inside. there are matte carbon fiber sills, air conditioning pods, and a center console with exposed carbon fiber.
“This is just another example of how we listen to our customers at Ford,” says Lance Mosley, marketing manager, Ford Performance. “While the Ford GT Competition model appeals to hardcore racing enthusiasts, we found more customers asking for more exposed carbon fiber with the air conditioning and radio still intact. So we developed the Carbon Series to satisfy that need, while providing a distinct look.”
