The Ford GT Mk IV Bows Out After an Eight-Year Run

The Ford GT Mk IV Bows Out After an Eight-Year Run

Ford has officially announced the last production wave of the track-only GT Mk IV, bringing the iconic American supercar’s improbable eight-year run to a definitive end.

The GT Mk IV first appeared in 2023 as the ultimate evolution of the GT lineage, a no-compromise, track-exclusive weapon built in partnership with Multimatic. While most of the planned 67 cars are already spoken for, Ford will open order books for the final handful of examples in the coming weeks. How many are left? Ford isn’t saying.

What we do know: each Mk IV is a monster. Under its elongated, aero-sculpted carbon-fiber bodywork lies a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter EcoBoost V-6 pushing out more than 820 horsepower—an even more aggressive setup than the road-going GT’s 660-hp 3.5-liter V-6. Ford claims a 0–60 time of about 3.0 seconds, but in reality, it’s the cornering numbers that raise eyebrows. Thanks to a radical aero package producing over 2,400 pounds of downforce at 150 mph and grip levels exceeding 3 Gs, the Mk IV bends physics more than most production-based cars have any right to.

Handling duties are taken care of by Multimatic’s Adaptive Spool Valve dampers, which can be adjusted from inside the cockpit—because even on a $1.7 million car, sometimes you need to fine-tune things between hot laps.

The GT Mk IV isn’t just another Ford halo car; it’s a rolling farewell to one of the most celebrated American supercars of the modern era. When this final batch of Mk IVs leaves Multimatic’s Ontario facility, the GT nameplate will retire with it. No encore, no revival—this is the end of the line.

If you want one, now’s your last chance. Just make sure you’ve got $1.7 million and a track to call home.
