About the Ford GT MK II
Named in homage to the GT MK II that famously swept the podium at
the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford debuted its ultimate track
weapon at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed. In designing the
track-only GT MK II, Ford Performance and Multimatic took every
hard-earned lesson from the FIA World Endurance Championship and
IMSA campaigns and threw out the rulebook. Since it didn't have to
play by the restrictive "Balance of Performance" regulations of any
racing series, the engineers were free to push the platform to its
absolute limit, resulting in a machine that is actually faster
around a circuit than the professional racecars that preceded it.
With a production run limited to just 45 units and an original
price tag of $1.2 million, the GT MK II was the purest, most
unfiltered expression of Ford's modern racing legacy to date.
As described by Ford's Chief Product Development and Purchasing
Officer, Hau Thai-Tang, the Ford GT MK II, "unleashes the GT's full
performance potential without any artificial performance
limitations dictated by racing sanctioning bodies... It's the
closest GT owners can get to the Le Mans-winning performance and
exhilarating feeling of crossing the finish line in the Ford GT
race car." This GT MK II, the first production example, is sure to
remain a hallowed entry in Ford's performance pedigree.
Surrounded by the carbon fiber tub is a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter
EcoBoost V-6 engine that has been turned up to 11. Without air
restrictors holding it back, it's been tuned to 700 horsepower,
which is 53 more than the road car and nearly 200 more than the
restricted Le Mans racecar. To keep that power consistent during
long track sessions, Ford added a roof-mounted intake scoop that
feeds a high-capacity air cooler featuring a water sprayer system.
This setup automatically triggers to mist the intercooler, slashing
intake temperatures in a way that's very similar to the Porsche 911
GT2 RS. All 700 horsepower are sent to the rear wheels via a
seven-speed Getrag dual-clutch transaxle with modified internals,
while the 19-inch Forgeline alloy wheels are wrapped in Michelin
Pilot Sport GT racing slicks.
The most aggressive visual change is the massive dual-element fixed
rear wing, which ditches the road car's heavy active aero for pure,
unadulterated downforce. When paired with the new front splitter,
aggressive dive planes, and an oversized carbon fiber rear
diffuser, the GT MK II generates 400% more downforce than the
standard Ford GT. The suspension has been completely overhauled for
the track and by removing the adjustable ride height system and
street-spec drive modes, Ford shaved over 200 pounds off the car.
It now utilizes 5-way adjustable Multimatic DSSV dampers set to a
fixed racing height, allowing the car to pull over 2 gs of lateral
acceleration. Massive Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes provide the
stopping power, measuring 15.5 inches in the front and 14.1 inches
in the rear.
The interior is a no-nonsense command center designed for data and
safety. The driver is held in place by a fixed Sparco racing seat
and a six-point harness, facing a rectangular racing steering wheel
flanked by a MoTeC data acquisition system that provides real-time
telemetry and a display for the rear-view camera. While a passenger
seat is an available option, the cabin is mostly dominated by a
full FIA-compliant roll cage and an integrated fire-suppression
system. The Ford GT MK II represents what engineers and designers
can achieve when the rule book is thrown to the wayside and
channeling the authentic performance of the Ford GT name.
