Ford Mustang: GT3 version approved for planned road?  News from Auto Plus in your smartphone News from Auto Plus in your mailbox

Next year, Ford will introduce the GT3 with the new Mustang, a car we don’t know about yet, but which the firm has already teased with a blue oval.

And apparently Ford has no shortage of ideas for its Mustang, especially for variations, as Ford boss Jim Farley suggested a good idea might be to allow a Mustang GT3 on the road.

The sportiest Mustang ever?

This week, Jim Farley retweeted a video of the Mustang GT3 being tested at Sebring, along with the following text: “Should we make a road version? » The only obvious answer to this question ” So “and, after all, who wouldn’t see the arrival of such a model with one eye, knowing that it is probably the last non-electrified Mustang?

As a reminder, the Mustang GT3 is one of six competitive Mustang variants announced by Ford last September. We don’t know all the details yet, a full reveal is expected within a few months. We just know that Ford has enlisted an old partner, namely Multimatic, to develop its car. under the hood we should find an updated version of the famous 5.0-liter V8.

The Ford Mustang V8 will be available in late 2023

Images of the recently unveiled Mustang GT3 show a very aggressive hood with huge hood scoops and wide fender flares. At the front, a wide lower bumper provides air to all mechanical components, while a large rear diffuser directs airflow to the rear. On the Mustang GT3, the exhaust pipes are integrated into the sides.

The car has a huge rear spoiler and branded taillights with three stripes. Ford hasn’t released any photos of the interior, but we can see from the outside that it features a roll bar and a stripped-down cabin. If the approved version were to see the light of day, it would probably benefit from a bit more equipment designed for comfort.

We will remind you that the seventh generation Mustang will hit the roads by the end of the year. In France, we will only be eligible for the 5.0-liter V8 version, the 2.3-liter four-cylinder should not cross the Atlantic.
