Ford@ Lemans 2024
https://www.autoblog.com/2023/06/09/ford-shows-off-le-mans-ready-mustang-gt3/
Ford announced the 2024 Mustang last year, so it was only a matter of time before we started seeing its impact on the world of motorsport. As part of this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans celebration, Ford revealed its new FIA GT3 entry. Based on the Mustang Dark Horse, the car is set to enter competition in 2024. The Mustang GT3 will sport a Coyote-derived V8 engine and components from Multimatic and Ford’s rally partner, M-Sport, who will handle the assembly of the 5.4-liter engines. Ford said the GT3 also gets a bespoke short-long arm suspension setup, a rear-mounted transaxle gearbox, GT3-specific aerodynamic bodywork and carbon fiber body panels. Though it’s just now reaching the public eye, the car already has a team lined up for racing in 2024, as Proton Competition plans to field the car in the 2024 World Endurance Championship series and the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans.
