2019 GT Mk IV Interior
Thanks to that tapering body shape, the GT isn't blessed with a spacious cabin. However, it is worthy of the name cockpit since the simple but advanced interior features an adjustable carbon fiber pedal box and a steering wheel with illuminating shift lights. Functions like turn signals and headlights are also controlled from the wheel, and the narrow central console houses your start button and drive mode selectors. A 10.1-inch configurable driver info display manages speedo and other outputs, while simultaneously dwarfing the 6.5-inch center touchscreen infotainment display.

Seating and Interior Space
Ford's supercar is a strict two-seater. However, unlike most cars available in various segments of the market in the USA, the seats are not adjustable. Instead, foam pads are molded to your body shape and stuck on to the exposed carbon tub. Thereafter, you can adjust the pedals and the steering wheel to bring them closer to you. No matter how athletic you may be, however, getting in past the gullwing doors and over the high and wide sill is not the sort of maneuver that even a gymnast or a ballerina would call graceful. Once seated, most controls are on the steering wheel for ease of access, but shorter individuals may find that stretching to the infotainment screen is a bit of a chore.

Interior Colors and Materials
This review may well set a record for the most mentions of the phrase "carbon fiber". The interior is almost entirely dominated by the stuff, with very little plastic and brushed stainless steel breaking it up. The upholstery catalog is dominated by racy Alcantara in dark themes, but you can get highlights of leather and a little fabric in colors like orange, white, navy blue, and black. We're big fans of the overt orange color scheme, which adds a slab of bright tangerine paneling to the passenger-side dash.
2019 GT Mk IV Trunk and Cargo Space
While the Ford GT may aim to excel on track, the trunk barely has enough space for the average racing helmet. Sitting behind the engine, the narrowing cargo area is more like a storage bin, offering just 0.4 cubic feet of volume.
In the cabin, storage options aren't much better. The passenger gets a narrow tray under the dash, while a tiny spot at the end of the center console could maybe hold an old Motorola flip-phone from the era when the Olsen twins were still famous. No cupholders, door pockets, or other useful nooks are available.

2019 GT Mk IV Infotainment and Features
Features
Despite its cost, don't expect the GT to be packed with convenience features and driver aids. The car's budget was blown almost entirely on making it as track-ready as possible. With this in mind, you get a multi-multi-function steering wheel with enough buttons to control the Mars Rover. Also on the wheel is an integrated shift light, while behind the squared tiller is a 10.1-inch configurable driver info display. Manual or automatic climate controls are available, but either option is single-zone. Variable drive modes, hill start assist, cruise control, adaptive suspension, keyless entry, push-button start, active noise-canceling, and a nose-lift function are included too. A rearview camera is all you get for driver assistance beyond the stability and traction control systems.
Infotainment
In a supercar with an MSRP of $500,000, you'd expect the vehicle to come with the best available infotainment system if one is equipped. While the GT does indeed get Ford's SYNC 3 system with its voice-activated navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio systems, it uses a smaller 6.5-inch screen rather than the eight-inch screen that some other Ford products get treated to. A pair of USB ports and Bluetooth audio streaming also feature on the system that is easy to use and well laid-out, but the speed of the system is starting to fall behind what the market leaders offer.
