Ford has announced that its all new carbon-fibre-bodied GT will be available with optional all-new carbon-fibre wheels to further improve the drive and handling characteristics of the new supercar.

Working with supplier partner, Carbon Revolution, the new wheels are constructed with the latest generation of fibre and resin technology that permits greater design flexibility. There will be two finish options of a matt or a glossy clearcoat which allow the natural weave of carbon fibre to show through.

Ford says that carbon fibre wheels bring a wealth of advantages over traditional aluminium wheels, including weight saving, improved vehicle dynamics and ride quality. In addition to reducing the overall vehicle weight for improved acceleration, braking and dynamic performance, the strong, light nature of carbon fibre means a reduction in unsprung weight and rotational inertia, which benefits suspension action, ride quality and dynamic performance.
