At the 2015 Detroit Motor Show Ford revealed an all-new GT, featuring a carbon fibre body and structure and a 3.5 litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. Launched in late 2016, the 50th anniversary of Ford GT race cars placing 1-2-3 at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, the new Ford GT was a technology showcase for the EcoBoost performance, aerodynamics and lightweight carbon fibre construction.

It is powered by the most powerful EcoBoost production engine ever – a next-generation twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 producing 660 horsepower (up from the original 647hp), matched to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. The GT makes extensive use of lightweight materials, with a carbon fibre passenger cell, and aluminium front and rear subframes encapsulated in structural carbon fibre body panels.

The tear-drop shape, the aircraft-inspired fuselage and the curved windshield were designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, with the narrow-profile canopy reducing frontal area.

The aerodynamic performance also benefits from an array of active elements that reduce drag while aiding downforce and stability. Among these is the active rear spoiler, keyed to both speed and driver input, reactively deploying and adjusting its height and/or pitch angle depending on conditions.

The chassis is suspended by an active racing-style torsion bar and pushrod suspension, with adjustable ride height.

The 20-inch wheels are fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tyres featuring a unique compound and structure designed specifically for the Ford GT. Multi-spoke wheels encircle carbon-ceramic brake discs at all four corners.

The two-seat cockpit is accessed by upward-swinging doors, and features driver and passenger seats integrated directly into the carbon fibre passenger cell. This configuration significantly reduces seating hardware and weight, and provides a consistent and direct sensory connection to the chassis. The fixed seating is combined with adjustable pedals and steering column to accommodate a very wide range of driver statures.

An F1-style steering wheel integrates all necessary driver controls, creating a stalkless steering column that allows uncluttered access to the transmission paddle-shift controls. A fully digital and configurable instrument cluster provides a wealth of driver-focused data. The display is configurable for multiple driving environments and different driving modes.

This Carbon Series is 18kg lighter than the standard GT, which was already light at 1385kg, by installing the titanium exhaust and lightweight polycarbonate rear hatch with extra ventilation for the car's 3.5-litre V6 powerplant. In addition, the wheels have been upgraded to carbon fibre and the standard wheel nuts exchanged for titanium ones.

The lower body panels, A-pillars and signature stripes are all finished in bare carbon fibre, as are the sills and centre console inside. Anodised paddle shifters and a unique, silver-stitched pattern on the seats and steering wheel further distinguish the Carbon Series.
