This is the elegantly specified 2020 Ford GT Carbon Series (L095), finished in ‘Caribou Brown’ with exposed carbon fiber accents, and an Alcantara interior. This very clearly is a second generation Ford GT, produced from 2016-present, and despite the fact that the total production for this generation of the GT calls for 1,350 units, only 50 total examples will be a ‘Carbon Series’ like this car shown here. The new generation Ford GT recalls Ford’s significant history with the original GT40 racecar, which was a four-time consecutive winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans (1966-1969). The new GT is the second Ford vehicle ever to feature optional carbon fiber wheels (this one has them), with the first being the Shelby Mustang GT350R. The airflow tunnels built into the rear fenders are easily one of the new generation GT’s most distinctive design elements. The tunnels are used to channel air around the teardrop shaped cockpit, ultimately increasing the downforce. The first generation Ford GT (2004-2006) had a top speed of about 205mph powered by a 5.4 L longitudinal rear mounted Modular V8 engine that produces about 550hp. The second generation GT (pictured here) is now capable of top speeds up to about 216mph thanks to it’s 3.5L twin-turbocharged Ford EcoBoost V6 engine that produces around 660 horsepower. Definitely a nice little performance upgrade from the older GT’s. Production for the new GT began in 2016 with only handpicked clients being capable of ordering a car, and is scheduled to continue production until 2022 with 250 units produced annually. This specific GT is a ‘Carbon Series’, which serves as an intermediate option between the standard Ford GT, and the Competition Series GT examples. The Carbon Series includes bumpers, doors, 20-inch wheels, and much more, all finished in carbon fiber to account for weight savings.
