When Ford revived the GT once again, much like the four-time 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning original, engineers crafted a thoroughbred racer first and foremost. Its credentials as a continent-crossing road car were very much secondary. This was perhaps most apparent with the narrow passenger compartment and flying buttresses that greatly improved aerodynamic efficiency. The aggressive design strategy paid off handsomely, however, as history repeated itself. The blue oval once again beat Ferrari at the Circuit de la Sarthe in 2016 to chalk a class win 50 years after the GT40 had triumphed for the first time.

Given an incredibly close relationship to the race car, the road-going GT delivered a raw driving experience. Then, introduced for 2019, the limited-edition Carbon Series upped the ante even more. For the third special model announced, a polycarbonate engine cover and carbon fibre wheels were adopted to help save 18 kilograms over the standard car—even the cup holder was removed. Meanwhile, the twin-turbocharged, 3.5-litre V-6 engine delivered 660 horsepower to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual clutch transmission for a 3.0-second sprint from 0 to 100 km/h.

Only 1,350 of all types of GT were built. It is believed that only 50 of those were Carbon Series cars. Among them, this example was beautifully finished in the metallic shade of Liquid Grey to complement bare carbon fibre dual racing stripes. The exterior is completed by red door mirror caps, accent line, and brake callipers that sit behind the ultra-lightweight wheels. Delivered new to the Germany-based consignor and very sparingly driven since, this car remarkably displays just 262 kilometres on its odometer at the time of cataloguing.

Boasting single ownership from new and as of one of the limited-edition Carbon Series cars, this is truly one of most desirable examples of the modern-day GT available.

Quand Ford a relancé la GT pour une deuxième fois, en hommage à la voiture victorieuse à quatre reprises aux 24 Heures du Mans, les ingénieurs ont avant tout conçu une machine résolument orientée vers la compétition. Ses capacités à être utilisée sur route ouverte étaient très secondaires. Ce parti-pris apparaissait de façon évidente à travers l'étroit compartiment passager et les montants arrière séparés qui amélioraient considérablement l'efficacité aérodynamique. Cette conception audacieuse a largement porté ses fruits et l'histoire s'est répétée : en 2016, Ford a battu à nouveau Ferrari sur le circuit de la Sarthe en remportant une victoire de catégorie 50 ans après le premier triomphe de la GT40.

Grâce à sa très grande proximité avec la version compétition, la GT de route procurait des sensations de conduite hors du commun. Une caractéristique que la série limitée Carbon Series présentée en 2019 poussait encore plus loin. Pour cette troisième série spéciale, un capot moteur en polycarbonate et des jantes en fibre de carbone ont été adoptés, ce qui a contribué à réduire le poids de 18 kg par rapport à la version standard — même le porte-gobelet était supprimé. Parallèlement, le V6 de 3,5 litres double turbo transmettaient 660 ch aux roues arrière par le biais d'une boîte à sept rapports et double embrayage, ce qui permettait d'accélérer de 0 à 100 km/h en 3 secondes.

Tous types confondus, 1 350 GT ont été produites et seulement quelque 50 d'entre elles sont des versions Carbon Series. Parmi ces dernières, cet exemplaire a reçu une finition magnifique dans la nuance métallisée de "Liquid Grey" pour accompagner deux bandes en fibre de carbone apparentes. L'extérieur est complété par des touches rouges sur les rétroviseurs, la bande centrale et les étriers de freins que l'on aperçoit derrière les jantes en carbone. Livrée neuve à l'actuel propriétaire basé en Allemagne et très peu utilisée depuis, cette voiture n'affichait que 262 km au compteur au moment de rédiger ce catalogue.

N'ayant connu qu'un seul propriétaire depuis l'origine et s'agissant d'une des rares versions Carbon Series, cette voiture est sans aucun doute une des plus désirables des Ford GT modernes.
