Ford Mustang GT4 Global Race Car Debuts at SEMA

Buying this pony car grants you entry into the world of customer racing

Ford racing enthusiasts, rejoice! The Blue Oval has unveiled the all-new Mustang GT4 race car at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

Based on the Shelby GT350R-C, which won its class this year in the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, the Mustang GT4 is expected to expand the nameplate's stable to a global audience.

Eligible for any GT4 series in the world, the Mustang GT4 can run in the Grand Sport class of IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, Pirelli World Challenge GTS, and European GT4, among many other series. The vehicle is powered by a 5.2-liter V8 mated to a six-speed Holinger paddle-shift transmission.

Other upgrades include chassis mods from Multimatic Motorsports such as dampers, lower rear control arms, and stabilizer bars. The Mustang GT4 can be recognized thanks to the aggressive aero kit that includes a rear wing, front splitter, additional hood venting and new rear diffuser.

The aerodynamics are said to improve downforce, keeping the Forgeline 18-inch wheels shod with racing slicks glued to the asphalt.

Inside, the Mustang GT4 comes with a full FIA-compliant roll cage, motorsports engine control, and an antilock-braking controller, along with a Motec dash logger. Pricing hasn't been announced yet.
