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. Despite having a maximum power output of 800 hp, the car was driven with 700 hp during its first outing due to the twisty nature of the track. 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.

Ford CEO Jim Farley has teased the idea of a street-legal version of the Mustang GT3 race car, which is being developed to compete in various racing series around the world. It's unclear how much of the GT3 race car could be translated over to a street-legal variant, but if made, Ford could target the likes of the Porsche 911 GT3 or even the Porsche 911 GT3 RS with its own street-legal race car. The Mustang GT3 will be powered by a modified version of the 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 being developed in-house by Ford Performance, and will feature a rear-mounted transaxle gearbox and carbon fiber body panels.
