The 3.5-liter Ecoboost-swap Mustang community is gaining attention, with enthusiasts swapping the engine from F-150s into mid V6 Mustangs for significant performance gains, potentially reaching upwards of 700 horsepower with off-the-shelf kits.

The Ford GT Mk IV, a track-only supercar with a price tag of $1.7 million, made its public debut at the Velocity Invitational event in California.

The GT Mk IV features a stripped-out cabin, full roll cage, and a carbon fiber longtail body. It utilizes a bespoke six-speed Xtrac racing transmission and generates 2,400 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. The car is highly sought after, with more orders than the 67 units Ford intends to produce.
