The Ford Mustang GT3 race car made its debut at Sebring earlier this month. Now, Ford CEO Jim Farley has hinted that the carmaker is willing to build a road version.
Farley posted a video of the Ford Mustang GT3 lapping at Sebring on Twitter with the caption – “Should we make a road version?” The tweet soon received a tonne of replies from enthusiasts expressing their interest in a street-legal Mustang GT3.
The 2024 Mustang GT3 is based on the Mustang Dark Horse. Therefore, a toned-down road version of the race car seems technically possible. If Ford decides to build one for the enthusiasts, it would be positioned above the Dark Horse. It might be a great alternative to the Porsche 911 GT3, albeit with a totally different character.
Like the race car, which uses a tuned version of the 5.0-liter V8, the road version could also sport a Dark Horse-based V8 motor in a higher state of tune, as well as upgraded suspension. Visually, the road-spec Mustang GT3 could get a sporty aero package with a large rear spoiler.
What are your thoughts? Should Ford build a roadgoing Mustang GT3?
