GT4

What has over 700 horsepower (522 kW) and is the most powerful street-legal Ford ever made? The new 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500. Hitting the streets in the third quarter of 2019, the Shelby GT500 has a supercharged V8 and chassis components from Ford’s GT racing programs.

The World Endurance Championship and F1 are still the undisputed kings of global motorsport, but GT4 racing has developed into an interesting battleground for supercars with aero kits, slick tires and roll cages. The latest road-going exotic to make the jump to FIA GT4 is the AMG GT R.

The Audi R8 came as a shock when it launched. It was so far removed from the sedans we knew, the fact it drove beautifully was almost irrelevant. Since then, the R8 has become a flagship for the brand's road cars and a base for its racing operations, a tradition continued with the R8 LMS GT4. ​

The image you see here is the first glimpse of BMW's upcoming M4 GT4 racer. It is set to supersede the popular M3 GT4 as BMW's offering for GT4 class race championships. The car will be based on the BMW M4 Coupé, boasting the same drivetrain and electronics.
