The automotive company stated that the standard version of the 'GT 2020' will have an approximate price point of $500,000. However, the [carbon Fiber option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-panigale-v4-lamborghini) will be more expensive and cost approximately $750,000. The new GT is now able to product 660 BHP and features a new titanium exhaust system. Other mechanical changes include a wider torque band and cooled pistons. Ford's new GT is powered by a 3.5 liter [EcoBoost](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/troy-lee-designs) V6 engine. The new paint options include Liquid Carbon and a paint job inspired by the brand's 1969 Gulf Racing win.
