In the near future, a $1,7-million Ford GT Mk IV hypercar will serve as a track-only swansong to the current Ford GT that arrived in the USA in 2016. Suddenly, half a million dollars - the starting price of the 2022 Ford GT we review here - sounds like small change, though this is still nearly as expensive as a Ferrari 812 Competizione and more than twice as much as a Nissan GT-R NISMO, another supercar with a blue-collar badge like the Ford. The 2022 GT is the last road-going Ford GT for sale to the public, and it might never get a successor. If it does, it may very well turn out to be an EV.

In contrast to the classic GT40 from the 1960s and the GT revival of the 2000s, the latest iteration does not feature a V8 engine. Instead, it boasts an impressive 660 horsepower generated by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6. The car's stunning design is not only visually striking but also highly functional, with advanced active aerodynamics ensuring stability on the road, allowing it to reach a top speed of 216 mph. This year marks the introduction of the '64 Prototype Heritage and LM editions, providing a remarkable tribute to an automotive icon.

What is the cost of the 2022 Ford GT?

With an estimated starting MSRP of around $500,000, the new Ford GT is priced well beyond the means of the average consumer. We use the term "approximately" since Ford has yet to announce the pricing for the 2022 GT, but we anticipate it will mirror last year's figures. However, the final cost for buyers may end up being significantly higher, as many owners are likely to invest in various customization and personalization options that can lead to a steep increase in overall price. Additionally, Ford's standard destination charge of $1,395 probably won't be relevant for such a limited-production exotic vehicle.
