In building the car, Ford Performance working with Multimatic, leveraged years of experience gleaned from the FIA World Championship and International Motor Sports Competitions. The 2020 Ford GT MK II does not adhere to any racing class restrictions and regulations. This allowed the engineers to really push the boundaries, exploring the limits of the car&#8217;s aerodynamic capabilities and overall performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-456574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04.jpg\" alt=\"Frontal view of a blue 2020 Ford GT MK II track-only supercar\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2020-Ford-GT-MKII-04-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Ford&#8217;s carbon fibre tub frames the same 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 found in the GT road car.
