The new Ford GT Mk IV is the ultimate track-only Ford GT ever made, featuring a unique twin-turbo EcoBoost engine, racing transmission, aerodynamic exterior design, and a longer wheelbase for improved handling. Only 67 of the hand-built supercars will be produced at Multimatic's facility in Markham, Ontario, in honor of the year the original Mk IV won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
“The original GT Mk IV held nothing back for max track performance, and the new Ford GT Mk IV brings it in the same way,” said Mark Rushbrook, global director of Ford Performance Motorsports. “With an even higher level of motorsport engineering and performance, plus a completely new carbon fiber body that is functional and striking, the Mk IV is the ultimate sendoff of the third-generation supercar.”
“Multimatic’s brief was to create the most extreme final version of the Ford GT, and the Mk IV is the outcome,” said Larry Holt, executive vice president of Multimatic Special Vehicle Operations Group. “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.”
A new application process for the $1.7 million (starting MSRP) car will begin in the first quarter of 2023, with deliveries starting in late spring 2023.
