Last week, the Ford Mustang GTD was spotted at the Nurburgring. Now, a Ford GT Mk IV was seen doing quick laps of the track, raising speculations about an imminent lap record attempt.
The Ford GT was captured on camera by automotive photographer Bas Fransen and shared on Instagram. “Do we have a new lap record Ford? I witnessed a new lap record attempt at The Nordschleife today,” he wrote. To which professional race car driver Misha Charoudin replied, “6:15”.
Someone clearly has been monitoring the lap times on a stopwatch, and even though it may not be accurate, we do get a rough idea of where the Ford GT Mk IV slots on the leaderboard.
The Ford GT Mk IV is a limited-edition track car powered by a twin-turbo EcoBoost engine. It has an estimated output of 800 hp and comes with a racing transmission. Only 67 examples were built and offered to customers at $1.7 million a piece.
