Ford CEO Jim Farley tweeted a video of the company’s new race car, the Mustang GT3, doing a lap at Subring Since Ford announced the new factory GT3 car in September, this is the first time we’ve seen or heard anything about it. Farley also asked a rhetorical question on Twitter that implied that the GT3 racer might one day be able to be driven on the road. Don’t move from where you are. Turn the volume up on your device and enjoy the beautiful V-8 soundtrack. Jim Farley, Ford CEO, tweeted a Sebring video of the Mustang GT3 race car today. Great sound. This is the first factory GT3 Mustang we’ve seen since September when Ford said it would make six new racing versions of the S650 Mustang (or, more importantly, heard). Ford is already getting people excited about the GT3, even though the public will see it in the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2024. This GT3 version is being made by Ford Performance and MultiMate together. It will be powered by a modified Coyote V-8 that has been bored to 5.4 litters. Photos show that a Mustang has been changed in many essential ways to compete in 24-hour races like Daytona and Le Mans. Massive fenders surround a set of big racing tires, and it looks like the whole body is made of light carbon fibred. The front lip is very sharp, and the diffuser in the back is massive. The most exciting part is the rear wing, which is attached to the car’s rear pillars instead of the trunk lid. Ford clarified that the GT3 car is related to the upcoming Mustang Dark Horse, although it is a race car with a proven track record. But we already knew that race cars looked and sounded impressive. Farley’s second tweet was what caught my attention. Mark Fields, the CEO of Ford, returned to Twitter after posting the GT3 video clip and asked his followers, “Should Ford make a road version?” Mr. Farley. We all agree. The answer is a clear “yes.” Send your first example to the Car and Driver’s office as soon as possible.
