This iteration is strictly track-only, a decision that underscores Ford’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance without the constraints of road homologation.
With a projected top speed of 218 mph, the Mk IV represents the zenith of Ford’s current engineering capabilities. Production is strictly limited to just 67 units, hand-built to honor the year of the original GT40’s victory. Ford has opened the order books for those brave enough to inquire, with an estimated cost of £1.3 million, or the equivalent of sixty-five Ford Fiestas. Having witnessed the development of this project firsthand, I can attest to the meticulous attention to detail that Ford’s Special Vehicle Team has poured into every component of the Mk IV.
Pininfarina Battista: Electrifying Italian Elegance
From Italy’s esteemed design house, Pininfarina, emerges the Battista—a fully electric masterpiece that bears the revered Pininfarina name for the first time.
