Ford has officially secured bragging rights with its GT Mk IV, now recognized as the fastest production car to ever lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Driver Frédéric Vervisch achieved a remarkable time of 6:15.997 on the 12.9-mile circuit, a significant feat for the evolved supercar.
Developed in collaboration with Multimatic, the Ford GT Mk IV is a track-exclusive model. Unlike some competitors, it is not street-legal. Production will be limited to just 67 units, commemorating the 1967 Le Mans victory. Each car features a carbon-fiber chassis and adaptive dampers, powered by a twin-turbo V6 engine delivering over 800 hp.
The car's performance surpasses previous records, placing it among the fastest vehicles ever recorded at the renowned German track. Despite its speed, the $1.7 million price tag and track-only designation position it as an exclusive collector's item for serious automotive enthusiasts.
