Powertrain – The Heart of the 40R

At the center of every Carbon 40R lies the legendary Ford Coyote V8 — a modern evolution of American performance engineering. Known for its high-revving nature, reliability, and balance of power and refinement, the Coyote brings the perfect combination of old-school sound and cutting-edge control to this re-imagined 40R.

The 40R’s lightweight space-frame chassis and mid-engine layout allow the Coyote to perform at its full potential — delivering over 450 horsepower in naturally aspirated form with razor-sharp throttle response and linear power delivery.

Key highlights include:

  • 5.0L DOHC 32-valve V8 with variable cam timing for optimized performance and efficiency.

  • Custom stainless exhaust system engineered specifically for mid-engine packaging, emphasizing a deep, mechanical tone.

  • Modern control systems integrated through a stand-alone ECU, ensuring precise tuning and reliability.

  • Optional upgrades, including forged internals, individual-throttle induction, or supercharged configurations for customers seeking extreme performance.

The result is a modern powerplant that honors the GT40’s racing legacy while delivering everyday drivability. The Carbon 40R isn’t just built to look fast — it’s built to feel alive every time the Coyote roars to life behind your shoulders.
