Vehicle Description
Ford GT Carbon series is chassis number 00007. The Ford GT is a high-performance supercar. With a decades-long heritage, the GT represents the ultimate in Ford's sporting capabilities. Originally conceived in the early 1960s, the Ford GT40 was built to beat Ferrari at the 24 Hours of LeMans. That car's spirit was revived in the 2005 Ford GT (no longer called the GT40), which likewise featured a mid-engine layout and classic styling. Reintroduced in 2015, the current Ford GT retains a midship engine but puts a future-forward appearance on display. Truly a race car for the road, the Ford GT again defeated Ferrari at the 2016 LeMans race. The production car is now offered to select customers who seek the maximum in American supercar performance. Beyond 13 additional horsepower compared to 2017-19 GT supercars, the 2020 GT's EcoBoost engine features a broader torque band and revised engine calibration plus mechanical upgrades that include gallery-cooled pistons and higher-energy ignition coils, thanks to lessons learned from the limited-edition, track-only GT Mk II. Additional engine cooling and airflow updates includes new buttress air ducts designed to increase air flow by 50 percent while larger intercoolers keep charge air temperatures cooler, preserving peak power for the most strenuous, high-temperature sessions at the track. Suspension damping is increased in track mode to further enhance handling and body control, particularly for those high-speed transient sections of closed-course circuits. Ford Performance is also introducing the premium Akrapovi titanium exhaust as standard equipment for 2020 Ford GT. Boasting the signature craftsmanship of these renowned race experts, this exhaust provides a nine-pound weight savings over the previous system while featuring that deeply resonant, unmistakable sound emanating from the more powerful EcoBoost engine Print this page and call us Now...Your Proud Bay Area Luxury Dealer Located in Walnut Creek.
