Ford GT Mk IV Ends Final Production Wave

Ford confirms the last production wave for the GT Mk IV, closing the eight-year run of the limited track car.

Ford GT Mk IV Ends Final Production Wave

Ford has announced the final production wave for the GT Mk IV, the track-focused version that debuted in 2023. With most of the planned 67 units already spoken for, the remaining cars will be offered in the coming weeks, though Ford did not disclose the exact count. The Mk IV packs a twin-turbo 3.8-liter EcoBoost V6 delivering more than 820 horsepower, enough to reach 60 mph in about 3.0 seconds. It rides on a carbon-fiber chassis built by Multimatic and uses aerodynamic upgrades to generate over 2,400 pounds of downforce at 150 mph, aided by cockpit-adjustable Adaptive Spool Valve dampers.

Priced around 1.7 million dollars, the GT Mk IV ends Ford's eight-year run for the model. The limited production and high price position it as a collector's car and a showcase of engineering, rather than a mass-market sport coupe. As Ford closes this chapter, the company may shift focus to other high-performance or electrified projects, leaving behind a legacy that blends carbon fiber, speed, and racing pedigree.

The GT Mk IV marks a deliberate end of a bold, halo project. Limiting the run to a handful of units creates desirability while controlling risk. It also narrows the audience to enthusiasts and collectors who can justify the price of admission. The car’s engineering — carbon fiber, active dampers, and a high-downforce aero package — underscores a bridge between race technology and street legality.

Ford’s move highlights a broader pattern in the industry: rare, high-cost cars send a message about brand identity and engineering prowess. As the market shifts toward electrification and broader affordability, the GT Mk IV serves as a high-profile farewell to a specific era of performance engineering while inviting questions about accessibility and long-term brand strategy.

The final note from Ford lands as a reminder that legends have a sunset.
