Ford has already announced two production increases for the GT supercar bringing the total to 1,350 copies through 2022. And the automaker continues to spice up the lineup with a third special edition version.
The latest to break cover is the 2019 GT Carbon Series with its exposed carbon-fiber body and additional creature comforts for the owner who wants to be comfortable driving the car to the track, rather than trailering it.

It is essentially the GT Competition Series but adds air conditioning, radio, and the Sync infotainment system. The Carbon Series is for those who track and want to drive there—not tow, said Hermann Salenbauch, Ford Performance global director.
The Carbon Series, packing the same twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 engine, weighs 39 pounds less than a standard GT, and like the Competition Series it has gloss carbon-fiber wheels and lugnuts, a polycarbonate engine cover, and titanium exhaust. There are no cupholders or driver-side storage.

Like the Heritage Edition GT that Ford announced during the summer, the Carbon Series will be priced above the $500,000 base model. The Heritage Edition has the famous Gulf Oil paint scheme that pays homage to the GT40s that swept Le Mans from 1966 to 1969.
