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.
