Ford is taking the already highly acclaimed Ford GT and taking it a step further. Introducing the Ford GT Carbon Series. The new track super car will be the lightest of the road-going Ford supercars – and unlike its sibling racer, it will want to be driven home when you finish work.
A New Standard: The Ford GT Carbon Series
The new limited-edition model drops nearly 40 pounds by adding carbon fiber wheels, a titanium exhaust, titanium lugnuts and a polycarbonate rear hatch with additional venting.

“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.”
With a new version comes new conveniences such as air conditioning, a radio and SYNC® 3 – for those customers who want to drive to and from the track in comfort. But don’t think you can swing into your local Starbucks on the way home. They drew the line to keep the weight in check by removing cupholders and the driver’s side seat storage bin.
2019 Ford GT Carbon Series Interior
This third Ford GT special edition features more visible carbon fiber than any previous model, along with optional accent colors, to stand out from the lineup and communicate its chicane cravings.
Two exposed carbon fiber stripes with matching A-pillars, lower body panels and gloss carbon fiber wheels complete the exterior. The interior features matte carbon fiber sills, air register pods and center console for the most exposed carbon fiber of any Ford GT.
New Colors
If you’re looking for a little more color flair, you can choose between four new optional accent colors for the mirror caps, center stripe and calipers.
- Silver
- Orange
- Red
- Blue
The Carbon Series also features a unique seat pattern with silver stitching that is repeated on the steering wheel, as well as complementary clear anodized paddle shifters and a unique badge for the instrument panel. You asked for it, Ford delivered it.

“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.”
The Ford GT Carbon Series is available for order now for approved customer applicants. For more information on the Ford GT, visit FordGT.com.
