Lynx GT1: The ultimate road-going Ford GT supercar
In an exhilarating development for automotive enthusiasts, Lynx Motors has announced the launch of the Lynx GT1, a bespoke road-going version of the legendary Ford GT supercar. This thrilling project is a collaboration with Matech Competition, a Swiss team known for their FIA GT1 racing version of the Ford GT. With only 28 units set to be produced, the Lynx GT1 promises to be a rare gem on the roads.
Reviving a racing legacy
The Ford GT, originally designed as a road car, found its way into the racing world when Matech Competition transformed it for the FIA GT1 World Championship in 2010. Although the racing series lasted only three seasons, it showcased the potential of the Ford GT in a competitive environment. The Lynx GT1 aims to capture that racing spirit while delivering a unique driving experience on public roads.
Performance that excites
At the heart of the Lynx GT1 is the powerful supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine, capable of producing over 1,200 horsepower. This impressive power is paired with a Ricardo 6-speed manual transmission, ensuring an engaging driving experience. For those seeking even more performance, Lynx Motors offers an option to equip the car with a twin-turbo 7.0-liter V8 engine, delivering a staggering 1,400-1,500 horsepower. This level of performance positions the Lynx GT1 as a formidable contender in the supercar arena.
Customization and luxury
One of the standout features of the Lynx GT1 is the extensive customization options available to buyers. Each of the 28 cars will be unique, allowing owners to select their preferred interior colors, gauge designs, and trim finishes. The interior boasts analog gauges and a central shifter, providing a blend of modern technology and classic design. Buyers can also choose from a range of high-performance seats from renowned brands like Recaro and Sparco, ensuring comfort and support during spirited drives.
Pricing and availability
The Lynx GT1 is not just a supercar; it’s a statement piece. With a starting price of $1.2 million, the cost can rise to $1.7 million depending on the specifications chosen by the buyer. Each car will come with an Indiana VIN, adding to its exclusivity. As of now, two units have already been sold, and production is expected to take around eight months per vehicle.
With its combination of racing heritage, breathtaking performance, and bespoke luxury, the Lynx GT1 is set to captivate supercar enthusiasts and collectors alike. This unique vehicle not only pays homage to the Ford GT’s storied past but also paves the way for an exciting future on the roads.
