Overview

  • The Liquid Carbon variant uses an unpainted, matched-weave carbon-fiber exterior that covers nearly every panel except the glass and lights.
  • Swapping bonded carbon doors for sheet metal and skipping paint cuts about 13 pounds compared with the GTD Carbon Series Performance Package.
  • Under the skin, the model retains its supercharged 5.2-liter V8 producing 815 hp and 664 lb-ft alongside the standard Performance Package’s active aerodynamics and magnesium wheels.
  • Chief Program Engineer Greg Goodall calls it the ultimate expression of the GTD’s race-derived, high-tech construction.
  • Ford has slated U.S. customer deliveries for October; pricing remains unannounced with analysts projecting a premium nearing $400,000 over the $325,000 base GTD.
