Ford Racing to reveal new road-legal supercar in early 2026
What's the story
Ford has announced that its newly rebranded division, Ford Racing, is gearing up to unveil a completely new "production road car" in early 2026. The announcement comes after the discontinuation of the second-generation Ford GT in 2022. While details are scarce, the upcoming model is said to be a testament to how deeply Ford is integrating racing innovation into everyday vehicles.
Performance expectations
What could the new model be?
The upcoming Ford Racing model is expected to deliver serious track-inspired performance, possibly with a lot of horsepower. If it turns out to be a new Ford GT, it would be the third generation of the modern GT nameplate. The first was launched in 2005 and the second in 2017. However, there are also speculations that Ford could have other plans for this new vehicle.
Competitive edge
Possibility of a more extreme Mustang GTD
Ford is said to be developing a more extreme Mustang GTD to take on the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X for the Nurburgring record. There's also talk of a 1,000hp electrified off-roader that CEO Jim Farley had teased earlier. These developments show how Ford is looking to stay competitive in the high-performance car market while also exploring new avenues like electric vehicles.
