An Even More Hardcore Ford GT Supercar Is On The Way
The factory Ford GT racing programme may have drawn to a close, but it seems the Blue Oval isn’t done with the road-going version of the supercar just yet.
The company has revealed a darkened teaser image, promising to make “a special Ford GT supercar announcement” during a Goodwood Festival of Speed press conference at 0945 on 4 July.
No further details are given, but judging by the big wing on the back of the GT depicted in the image, we can take an educated guess or two.
It’ll almost certainly be an even more focused version of the already hardcore GT road car. If Ford has gone particularly extreme with this latest version of the supercar, it might even be a track-only affair.
Expect a stiffer setup for the MultiMatic DSSV shocks, a bump in power for the 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6, and a sizeable increase in downforce thanks to that rear wing, which will no doubt be joined by other aero additions.
Production numbers will inevitably be extremely limited - Ford has capped the standard GT at only 1350 units.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Bet John Cena can’t wait to sell this one
He will buy it and after a few seconds he’s gonna get a CarFax report on the car
hopefully nobody will see him sell it.
if ford will allow him to buy one in the first place
Will it be called the Ford GT R? That would make it even more confusing with the Nissan GT-R and the Mercedes-AMG GT R.
4 yesrs ago when you said GT-R it was the Nissan. Now you have to precise the brand …
Then people could do a gtr vs gtr vs gtr battle/comparison, and i like the sound of that!
Ultima GTR too!
There was also BMW M3 GTR, and McLaren F1 GTR, and McLaren P1 GTR
A more hardcore version of the Ford GT….are they planning on releasing a Hoonigan edition with an GT-Pro spec engine with no ACO nannies on it with 900bhp?
This would be the most logical, actually sounds like something that Ford would do.
Or a Shelby GT maybe with a v8 supercharger
Big wing ;o
That silhouette looks a lot like the ford gte race car, could we be getting a road going gt track monster?
I👏🏻cannot👏🏻wait👏🏻
Can’t wait for Goodwood. #GoodwoodFestivalOfSpeed
Gt3 car?
Half expect it to be called the GT E, and have somewhere in the neighbourhood of 700hp
