It changes alcantara to black leather on seat backs, dash, etc seat inserts become alcantara and adds extra exposed CF in the cabin. Gets the carbon door sills, carbon AC registers, carbon center tunnel. It's not listed online.

Nice.

You can see the differences here. Dash, seat back surround, and the portion above the sill are black leather, seat insert is Alcantara, sill top is exposed CF, center tunnel area has increased CF, AC registers are exposed CF. The pillars and roof liner are Alcantara in all models. You can add leather steering wheel independently.

The steering wheel, IP area, door panels, floor, rear bulkhead, lower sill, seat brace between headrest and seatback, etc are exposed CF in all models, so no matter what there's a lot of visible carbon in there, structural or otherwise.

Any other off menu options you can share?

And, any options pricing info (publicly) available?

Ford won't be publishing a price list because of the nature of the ordering process. The concierge will communicate all the options prices directly. That said, the car is $450k. The white car as shown below from the Motor Trend pics would be just over $450k, so you don't "need" to load it up with a million options to get a truly stunning car. If you want to go nuts, you can get well above $500k. IMO, most will be between $450-510k, because a lot more people will skip stripes this time and the split between base and optional wheel will be much more even.

Thanks for those pictures Topnotch. I really like the leather on the dash. I have very limited experience with Alcantara. My 2014 GT500 has a little on the steering wheel. It doesn't seem like it would hold up over time. Can those of you who have lived with the stuff over many miles comment on durability, washability, etc?

Have had it on a steering wheel, didn't last well. Maybe I didn't do the correct care. I personally will attempt to avoid it. But it sure looks cool.

It will not handle you're makeup well. Better get leather.

I prefer Alcantara as an interior material as long as you take care of it. But if you have an alcantara steering wheel, wear gloves.

It's probably less appealing in a super humid climate that gets you sweating a lot.

Guys no fear there is a leather steering wheel option for $250.00. I went for it.

The leather wheel option is the way to go for durability. Alcantara steering wheel will look good when new but like the elbows on an old suede jacket after some use. I can't understand why you can not get a full leather interior unless you order a Heritage. I think the interior design people missed the boat on this one. At $500,000 you would think that you would be able to get the seat finish that you want. The same people must have done the Shelby GT350 seats but at $65,000 it is not as big a deal. If they want to protect the Heritage leather option then just say you cannot order a black GT with a full leather Dark Energy interior unless it is a Heritage. I want the interior, I just don't want another black car. Life is not a perfect world.

Sorry, not sure how they are handling Euro stuff. Better to ask the tall man with the glasses.
