In the world of supercars, few names stir the soul like the Ford GT. Its lineage traces back to the legendary battles at Le Mans, its shape and spirit evoke pure speed, and its rarity cements its status as a collector’s dream. Recently, a particularly rare gem rolled into SpeedEFX — a Liquid Carbon Ford GT, one of only a handful ever made, distinguished by its fully exposed carbon fiber body and even carbon fiber factory wheels. This isn’t just a car; it’s a piece of automotive history.
A Rare Marvel with a Carbon Heart
The Ford GT in Liquid Carbon stands out even among supercars. Ford manufactured only 30 of these Liquid Carbon models worldwide, making each one a rare encounter. The use of carbon fiber is extensive throughout the entire body, reducing weight while showcasing the material’s raw, woven charm. From the body to the wheels, the carbon fiber construction is not just for show; it’s a nod to high-performance engineering and aesthetic elegance.
Enhancing a Classic
While the extensive use of carbon fiber sets the GT apart, the owner of this particular model sought to balance the car’s visual weight. The solution? Custom multi-piece Brixton Forged wheels featuring a unique design twist — a carbon fiber accent ring inside the aero disk. This subtle yet striking modification not only complements the vehicle’s carbon-heavy theme but also adds a layer of sophistication and uniqueness, making what is already a rare car even more distinctive.
A Tribute to Ford’s Racing Legacy
Beyond just aesthetic modifications, the owner, a fervent admirer of Ford’s storied racing history, wanted to personalize the GT in a way that honored the marque’s legacy. At SpeedEFX, we embraced this vision by designing, printing, and installing a custom wrap for the doorjambs. This unique touch features motifs and elements celebrating Ford’s racing triumphs, from the iconic GT40’s victories at Le Mans to the modern achievements of the GT itself. Each doorjamb became a canvas, telling stories of speed, endurance, and the indomitable Ford racing spirit.
The Process: Precision and Passion
The installation of both the custom wheels and the doorjamb wrap required a meticulous hand and an eye for detail. For the wheels, careful consideration was given to ensure that the fit was perfect, maintaining the GT’s impeccable balance and handling characteristics. The doorjamb wrap involved precise measurements and expert application, ensuring that each piece of the wrap aligned flawlessly without interfering with the vehicle’s function or compromising its design.
