Ford reveals lightweight #Ford GT "Competition Series"
In honour of their recent win in the Rolex 24 Hour at Daytona, Ford Performance has unveiled a special model of the Ford GT dubbed the Competition Series. This model will further shed weight and lower the center of gravity compared to the base model GT.
In honour of their recent win in the Rolex 24 Hour at Daytona, Ford Performance has unveiled a special model of the Ford GT dubbed the Competition Series. This model will further shed weight and lower the center of gravity compared to the base model GT.
Ford Performance nixed the GT’s air conditioning, infotainment system including radio and speakers, storage areas, and even cupholders. Weight is further reduced by subbing out the standard materials in other places with even lighter variations. This includes a Perspex acrylic engine cover with vents and a carbon fibre prop rod, carbonfibre wheels with titanium nuts, a full titanium exhaust, more exposed carbon fibre inside and out, and an even thinner Gorilla Glass front windshield.
Ford Performance has yet to reveal how much weight this package will reduce, nor how it will affect performance. At a tad over 3,000 pounds in base trim, this new package can be expected to weigh in at the high two thousand pound range.

I want this so badly
Considering getting one? Being that you already have the last GT.
Neeeeed
Buy one! Make that two, I want one as well. ;-)
My truck is better equipped lol
Sure, so is my Focus. Not sure if either would beat it in any performance tests, though. LoL
OMG!!! It has Cupholders!!!!!!!!!!!
The base model does. Not this one, though.
But it’s a ford
Yes, that’s why the title says Ford GT instead of NotFord GT.
Finally, Ford realizes weight reduction, bro.
Ford is usually pretty light weight on their performance vehicles.
But not for those with light weight wallets
Lmao, that’s a good one.
They should make a light weight wallet edition lol
Shmee just cant win
He’s got money, he can get this one or the base model.
Sweet
Guessing that you meant to reply to SVTSVE.
