The Ford GT Mk IV is revealed as a track-only tribute to the original 1967 Ford GT Mk IV with 800bhp. Just 67 units are being built.
Ford did have bash at a track GT 40 back in 2019, but it was nowhere near as extreme as this new GT 40 Mk IV, with a ‘mere’ 700bhp, whereas Ford says this new Mk IV will get more than 800bhp from its V6 EcoBoost engine.
But the increase in power is just the start, and Ford has added a racing transmission, lots of areo and a longer wheelbase for greater handling.
The new GT Mk IV will be produced at Multimatic’s facility in Ontario. Multimatic’s Larry Holt says:
Multimatic’s brief was to create the most extreme final version of the Ford GT, and the Mk IV is the outcome.
A unique larger displacement engine, proper racing gearbox, stretched wheelbase and truly radical body has resulted in an unprecedented level of performance. We are proud to have been a part of the third-generation GT from its inception to this amazing swan song and consider it a significant chapter in Multimatic’s history.
Each of the 67 Ford GT Mk IV models will cost $1.7 million (expect a similar price in Sterling for the UK) with deliveries beginning in spring 2023.
