In short: Experience the ultimate evolution of a racing icon. This video explores the Ford GT Mk IV, a limited-production masterpiece designed to honor the 1967 Le Mans winner while pushing modern engineering to its limits.

The Ford GT Mk IV is a track-only vehicle that serves as a direct homage to the original GT40's Mk IV iteration. Out of a production run of just 67 units, each car carries a price tag of $1.7 million. It utilizes a carbonfibre chassis shared with the 2016 Le Mans-winning LMGTE Pro race car and the standard road model.

To achieve its status as an 'ultimate' supercar, the vehicle features a unique 'longtail' body and specialized brakes. The EcoBoost V6's capacity now reaches 3.8 litres; by integrating fresh turbos alongside multiple mechanical tweaks, it generates a maximum output of 800bhp.
