This 2021 Ford GT Liquid Carbon Edition is one of just 30 examples ever produced, with only five built per model year, making it one of the rarest and most exclusive iterations of Ford’s flagship supercar. An extra special example of this car is now available for to buy via auction with Sotheby’s Motorsport, from the workshops of Graham Rahal Performance in Indianapolis.
It features a specially designed Liquid Carbon exterior, a finish that exposes the car’s carbon-fiber bodywork beneath clear coat, complemented by even rarer Shadow Black overtop stripes, a feature found on only a handful of the 30 examples.
“We now have four or five Ford GTs here at our location, which is a little atypical for us,” said Rahal on Instgram. “This particular example, we’ve actually sold one or two of these before. Now, there’s only 30 supposedly in the world, five per model year. This particular example is quite unique, though.
“I have not seen, and I’m sure there is, but I have not seen another example that has ghosted stripes on them. Typically, the variations that you see on the liquid carbon cars is the mirror colors tend to be a little bit different – voodoo blue, some are red, etc.
“This one also has the dark blue interior option, so we see a really cool contrast between the carbon, between the stripes, the interior, got the bright blue [brake] calipers and of course the matte finished wheels. This has 52 miles, basically delivery miles.
“We are really, really pumped to have this car here at GRP.”
This edition commanded a base price approximately $250,000 higher than a standard GT, underscoring its exclusivity and advanced construction. Beneath its sculpted body, a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 generates 660 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque, channeled to the rear wheels via a Getrag seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Ford’s motorsport-derived aerodynamics include a retractable active rear wing, a large rear diffuser, and sculpted buttress air ducts for enhanced cooling and stability, while a lightweight Gorilla Glass windshield and butterfly doors add to the GT’s cutting-edge design.
The auction ends on Thursday at 17:30 EST, with the lastest bid of just below $1 million at the time of writing.
