The Ford® Mustang® GT4 is the quintessential turnkey racer, designed to bring the raw power and heritage of the Mustang to the world’s most competitive production-based racing series. Positioned as the bridge between the Mustang Dark Horse™ R and the elite GT3, the Mustang GT4 is a global ambassador for Ford Racing, engineered to win on nearly any track across the globe which includes Daytona, Zandvoort, Phillip Island, and more.
Engineering for the Privateer
Developed in partnership between Ford Racing and Multimatic Motorsports, the Mustang GT4 is built to be approachable for developing drivers while remaining sharp enough for professional champions. At its heart lies a competition-prepped 5.0-liter Coyote-based V8, paired with a specialized Holinger ® paddle-shift transmission. With its signature Multimatic ® DSSV (Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve) dampers and a dedicated aero package for racing, the GT4 offers a competitive package for customer teams worldwide.
A Global Presence
The Mustang GT4’s success is measured by its proven track record of championships in IMSA, SRO and FEL Motorsports SCCC. Key arenas include:
- IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge: In North America, the Mustang GT4 is a perennial frontrunner in the GS class, battling for victory at iconic tracks like Daytona and Watkins Glen.
- SRO GT4 America, Australia and Europe: The Mustang GT4 has expanded at home and across the Atlantic and Pacific, competing against top manufacturers globally.
Global Success of Customer Racing
Unlike the factory-run programs often seen in higher tiers, the Mustang GT4’s legacy is built on the success of privateer teams. Its reputation for being "raced on Sunday, sold on Monday" is literal; Ford Racing provides the platform, and top-level teams provide the talent to take it to the winner's circle.
The Dark Horse Legacy
Based on the seventh-generation Mustang, the latest GT4 iteration represents Ford’s commitment to making motorsport accessible while maintaining the aggressive soul of the Mustang. Whether it’s an endurance event in Daytona or a sprint race through the sand dune curves of Zandvoort, the Mustang GT4 remains a global benchmark for performance and reliability.
