New Delhi, December 12 : The final batch of Ford’s very limited edition GT Mk IV supercars are up for grabs, before they are gone. As per the reports, only 20 of these super limited edition Ford GT models are available, which are actually fitted with the pieces of auto major’s 2016 Le Mans-winning race car.
As per the American auto major, “the GT Mk IV is the ultimate and most extreme track-only Ford GT ever.” This is a befitting conclusion to the supercar, as its legacy began with the Ford GT40’s Carroll-Shelby-coached 1-2-3 race finish back at the Le Mans endurance race of 1966.

This ultimate supercar gets powered by the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 that can now churn out 800 hp that is140 hp higher than the standard GT’s 660 hp max power. It also replaces the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with race-oriented transmission that transfers the generated power to the Michelin Pilot Sport racing rubbers covered wheels.
However, the most significant modification comes in the form of the longtail carbon fibre body that flaunts a massive front splitter, a slatted hood, beams in place of headlights and a beefed-up rear wing. The Mk IV designation pays homage to the 1967 Le Mans-winning GT Mk IV model that marked the first and till date the only time endurance race victory of an all-American team.
