Design & Exterior
The 2025 Mustang GT4 takes the bold design of the street-going Mustang and transforms it into a pure competition machine. Its aerodynamic package includes:
-
Front splitter and dive planes for downforce
-
Adjustable rear wing for cornering stability
-
Widened fenders to accommodate racing slicks
-
Carbon-fiber hood, doors, and roof for reduced weight
Every vent, scoop, and contour has been engineered to enhance track performance and cooling efficiency. The GT4’s stance is wide, muscular, and purpose-built — unmistakably Mustang, unmistakably fast.
Cockpit & Interior
Inside, it’s all business. The GT4’s stripped-down cockpit features:
-
Single racing seat with six-point harness
-
Integrated FIA roll cage
-
Quick-release steering wheel with data controls
-
Digital driver display with race telemetry
-
Fire suppression system and safety kill switches
No infotainment, no comfort — just raw, focused performance. Every component serves the driver and the stopwatch.
Performance
Powering the GT4 is a race-tuned 5.0L Coyote V8, delivering between 450–500 hp, depending on series regulations. Built for endurance and consistency, it pairs with a Holinger® sequential gearbox that allows lightning-fast gear changes via steering-mounted paddles.
Ford’s collaboration with Multimatic Motorsports means suspension and chassis dynamics are finely tuned for GT4-class racing. The DSSV® dampers — the same advanced system used in the Ford GT and Bronco Raptor — provide incredible precision, allowing the GT4 to handle tight corners and high-speed straights with surgical accuracy.
Braking and cooling systems have been optimized for long stints, ensuring consistent performance in 24-hour endurance races.
