Ford lifted the veil off their Mustang GT4 model, a turnkey race car ready to enter any GT4 series in the world, as well an all-new data logging application in this year’s SEMA show.

The new race-prepped Mustang is based on the class-winning Shelby GT350R-C and features a 5.2-litre V8 paired to a six-speed Holinger paddle-shift transmission.

The new Mustang-based race car features chassis mods from Multimatic Motorsports, including dampers, lower rear control arms and stabilizer bars. The Forgeline wheels measure 18x11in and are dressed with racing slicks while the new aero agenda includes a rear wing, aggressive splitter, additional hood venting and a new rear diffuser.

“The new Mustang is a global vehicle,” says Mark Rushbrook, motorsports engineering manager, Ford Performance. “Now, its growing fan base has a GT4 competition model to race and support around the globe.”

Ford also took the opportunity and revealed their new data logging app which allows users to record their track performance more easily than ever, using their smartphones. The Ford Performance app leverages the latest capability of the SYNC3 infotainment and provides intuitive controls, allowing users to record, video capture and share their track accomplishments.

“Ford Performance wants to provide our customers a simple, shareable way to capture their track exploits,” says Dave Pericak, global director, Ford Performance. “The ability to take their track sessions with them everywhere they go and easily share their footage and data with friends is a huge benefit of our new app.”

Ford will release the new application for the most popular smartphone platforms in 2017.
