Owner Refuses To Sell 2021 Ford GT Carbon Series for $941,000, $300K Profit Not Enough?

The flip side is that today you can easily find a whole bunch of Italian exotics that perform better or the same as the Ford GT, for less money. This should give you cause for pause if you’re planning on spending way over MSRP on a used Ford hypercar, which by today’s standards is more of a “regular” supercar.

I’m sorry Ford fans, but it’s true. The GT can’t hope to keep up with the likes of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale or the Lamborghini Revuelto. Heck, even the C8 Corvette Z06 could theoretically outrun it over a quarter mile.

Let’s keep all that in mind as we take a closer look at this 2021 Ford GT Carbon Series model, with 72 miles on the clock and finished in Grigio Scuro over Carbon Alcantara. It was up for grabs at auction up until yesterday, when it failed to sell for seemingly no reason. The owner refused to part with the car for $941,000, which is staggering when we consider how this cost $636,600 new. Who says no to a $300k profit?

Anyway, aside from the Grigio Scuro paint, this GT also comes with the Exterior Carbon Fiber and Carbon Graphics packages, a lightweight Gorilla Glass windshield, butterfly doors, the retractable active rear wing, LED headlights and taillights, a front-axle lift system, launch control, and gloss carbon 20” wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and silver-painted Brembo brakes.

Meanwhile, the previously mentioned Carbon Series package adds exposed carbon fiber stripes, titanium lug nuts, and a polycarbonate engine cover, resulting in 40 lbs worth of weight saving.

Inside, you’ll find Carbon Alcantara upholstery with silver accent stitching, Sparco seats (with manually reclining carbon-fiber shells), more exposed carbon fiber on the steering wheel (also Alcantara-wrapped), dash, center console, and door panels, plus a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, cruise control, and an adjustable pedal box.

Powering the Ford GT is a mid-mounted twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, sending 660 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a Getrag seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. This thing will get you to 60 mph in about three seconds flat, before maxing out at 216 mph (348 kph).

Like I said before, it’s fast, but not SF90/Revuelto fast. It’s hard to believe that we live in a time when you can easily turn down a $300k profit on a car that you can only place into storage at this point – if you drive it, the value will drop and so will you (at the light, against faster supercars).
