The Mustang spirit is guaranteed to ignite race tracks everywhere.
With the introduction of the new Mustang GT4, Ford Performance strengthens its longstanding partnership with Multimatic, entrusted with the production of every Mustang GT4. Underlining Ford’s commitment to excellence, the race engines in the Mustang GT4 are derived from the Ford Coyote platform and have been meticulously developed in-house by Ford Performance. Furthermore, the assembly of these powerful V8 engines takes place at Ford’s state-of-the-art facility in Dearborn, Michigan.
“We’re proud to work with so many great partners on these race vehicle programs. It’s also special to be able to do all the engine work for the Mustang GT4 fully in-house.
