This is the Ford GT Carbon Edition. Its use of carbon wheels, a plastic engine cover and the deletion of cupholders and doorbins saves a grand total of 18kg. Making it 1,367kg before fluids rather than 1,385kg. Hmm. It"s a small drop when you consider those delicate-looking carbon wheels also have titanium nuts, and the exhaust system is now titanium, too. But hey, it"s not like the GT was a big fatty that needed a diet. We suspect the real appeal of this Carbon Edition is the way it looks, with more exposed carbon than any previous GT. There"s exposed carbon stripes on the outside, exposed carbon sills on the inside and of course the exposed carbon wheels, the like of which will ensure you never park less than a metre away from a kerb.
