The 2020 Ford GT supercar will be even more hardcore, with 660 horsepower and a $250,000 carbon-fiber appearance package

For 2020, Ford announced a bump in horsepower and a couple of gorgeous new appearance options for its Ford GT supercar.

A new throwback Gulf Racing livery pays homage to the 1968 and 1969 Le Mans-winning GT40 race car, which the GT itself honors.

The optional No. 6 also references the back-to-back winning racer.

And, new for 2020, the Heritage Edition can be optioned with carbon-fiber wheels.

Ford also took the wraps off of a menacing Liquid Carbon option.

The limited-edition trim sports a special clear coat ...

... which showcases the GT's carbon-fiber weave.

Unsurprisingly, carbon-fiber wheels come standard.

Buyers who'd like to add a little flair to their GT can opt for a single stripe, or dual stripes down the middle.

Across the board, the GT's 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 gets 13 more horses for 2020, bumping total horsepower to a claimed 660.

Ford has also given the engine a fresh tune with what was learned from the track-only, 700-horsepower Ford GT Mk II.

New buttress air ducts and larger intercoolers keep the 2020 GT's engine cooler and enhance performance, according to Ford.

And a newly standard titanium exhaust system offers a nine-pound weight savings when compared with the outgoing system.

The 2020 Ford GT will start at around $500,000, with the Liquid Carbon option commanding a whopping $250,000 premium — half the price of the car itself.
