The upcoming seventh generation of the Ford Mustang is ready to compete globally in a multitude of racing categories. The most recent addition to the array of Mustang racing models is set to make its first appearance at the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit in Belgium on June 28.
The Mustang GT4, intended for private racing in the acclaimed GT4 class, is the car that Ford is set to reveal. Given the current eligibility of GT4 cars to compete in various series in both the U.S. and Europe, teams looking to buy a Mustang GT4 will have an abundance of choices. The well-known Multimatic Motorsports, which played a significant role in developing the successful Ford GT racer, will manufacture these cars for global customers. This company has also contributed to the development of this car alongside Ford Performance.
Ford Transit Synopsis
While the rest of the specifics will be retained until the unveiling, it is expected that this Mustang will align more closely with its road-based counterpart than the Mustang GT3, which was launched earlier this month. Confirmation has been received that the latter will be racing in North America’s IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the international FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Its entry into the WEC means it is also set to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2024.
Existing Mustang racing models are already contesting in Australia’s Supercars series and the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series. However, the NASCAR versions still carry the bodywork of the outgoing sixth-generation model for now.
Ford is rumored to be developing the Mustang Dark Horse R racing car, which could potentially become the core of a novel one-make series. This vehicle is based on the race-oriented Mustang Dark Horse road car, projected to outrank the GT in the 2024 Mustang lineup, and replace models like the Bullitt and Mach 1. It is equipped with a 500-hp variant of the 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine, and will offer carbon-fiber wheels as a standalone feature.
The 2024 Ford Mustang is set to be available for purchase later this summer, with the GT4 racing model anticipated to hit the track the following year.
