The Ford GT is no longer in production, but this company wants to bring it back as a street-legal hypercar.

There’s no name yet, and generally very little in the way of information, but we do know the new car will have at least 1,200 horsepower.

We also know production will be limited.

Predictably, there are many zeros in the price.

Only 28 units will be built

The idea for the revamped Ford GT came from Lynx Motors, an automaker that describes itself as a company that ‘reimagines legendary classics’ – which the Ford GT certainly is.

If everything goes to plan, the new car will be powered by a twin-turbo V8 with over 1,200 horsepower, although there are rumors about a potential version with an engine built by Roush Performance with over 1,500.

Roush, for reference, is an American tuner that specializes in Mustang engines.

Lynk said the car will be built at the Graham Rahal Performance factory in Zionsville, Indiana, and production will be limited to just 28 units, with prices starting at $1.7 million.

About the Ford GT

The Ford GT was introduced in 2005 as a modern-day take on the GT40, the race car that famously beat Ferrari at Le Mans three years in a row.

After just two years and 4,000 examples, Ford retired the GT and waited a decade to launch the new one.

The second-generation Ford GT, unveiled in 2016, was different in many ways.

It was even more difficult to get, with only 1,350 units planned and a much higher price tag – over $1 million in some cases.

The upside was the new Ford GT was a lot faster and more extreme than its predecessor, despite having a smaller engine (3.5-liter V6 instead of a 5.4-liter V8).

About a year ago, a heavily modified but Ford GT became the fastest street-legal hypercar in the standing mile, with a top speed of 310mph.
