Ford Mustang GT4 Engine, Power, Performance & Acceleration
Ford closely collaborated on the GT4 with Canadian engineering powerhouse Multimatic. Which built the most recent Ford GT and created other limited-edition Aston Martins, including the Valkyrie. Under the hood is a Coyote-based V-8 that Ford Performance built internally and has been optimized for racing. Ford will also construct it in Dearborn, Michigan, although it didn’t offer any other engine details.
The GT4 has Multimatic spool-valve dampers and is lighter due to its natural fiber bodywork. The Hollinger dog-ring gearbox has paddle shifters with pneumatic actuation for shifting. And the aerodynamics are customized for the GT4 class. Although the diffuser is much more subdued than on the GT3 and there are fewer vents carved into the narrower fenders, the GT4 still has a sizable rear wing that protrudes from the trunk lid. Recaro racing seats keep the driver comfortable and the inside is remarkably identical to the GT3’s, down to the bare necessities.
