The Ford GT MkIV is an 800-hp track-only monster.
Nearly seven years after it blew minds with its surprise debut at the Detroit Auto Show, the modern Ford GT's run is coming to an end. It's not going quietly. The GT MkIV is an 800-hp, high-downforce track special that takes the GT platform to new extremes. Sixty-seven will be built, in honor of the original Ford MkIV, which won the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans, each with a $1.7 million price tag.
As with all previous versions of the current GT, the MkIV was developed in collaboration with engineering firm Multimatic, which will build the cars at its Markham, Ontario facility. A larger version of the GT's twin-turbo V-6 is responsible for pushing the power output far beyondThe wheelbase of the MkIV is slightly larger than that of any other GT and the car sports new, all-carbon bodywork complete with a striking"long-tail" rear end that extends well past the rear lights.
Unfortunately, Ford's press release is light on technical specifics, but the combination of more power, more downforce, slick tires and sequential gearbox should mean the MkIV is the quickest iteration of this GT yet, almost assuredly faster than the actual race car., but the system is different than before. Still, you'll have to be someone very important to get on the list.
Multimatic is wrapping up the last examples of the GT road car before switching focus to the MkIV. After those 67 cars are built, the book is closed on this remarkable car.
