Ford Is Preparing a Hybrid Road Supercar!
Ford, which made racing history with its GTs, could be poised to return to the forefront of the supercar scene.
According to Mark Rushbrook, global director of Ford Racing, a new “exclusive” road model will be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show 2026 next January. This is a first concrete indication that a Ford supercar could be reborn in a new light, closely integrating innovations developed on the track.
This announcement comes at a strategic moment for the American manufacturer, which is preparing to return to F1 with Red Bull and to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the Hypercar category. The Le Mans competition, a global convergence point for technology and performance, represents an ideal media springboard to showcase a road-going sports car. Ford’s presence in this category could thus legitimize and strengthen the aura of its future supercar, showing that experience gained on the track translates directly to the road.
From track to road
The last model to bear the GT name was produced until December 2022. Limited to 1,350 units, the Ford GT was powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 developing 660 horsepower, capable of reaching 348 km/h and covering 0–100 km/h in under 3 seconds. Today, Ford suggests its next supercar could adopt a hybrid architecture, combining internal combustion engines and electric propulsion. Such an approach would significantly increase power while controlling fuel consumption and emissions, a challenge that has become unavoidable for high-performance vehicles.
