Ford Racing production road car Teased for January 2026 Reveal
Ford’s second-generation GT ended production in 2022, leaving a significant gap in the company’s flagship performance lineup. Now, the automotive world is buzzing with questions as the automaker has announced that its newly rebranded Ford Racing division is preparing to unveil an all-new Ford Racing production road car. The anticipation is immense, with the vehicle scheduled to debut on January 15, 2026, in Detroit.
The promise is clear: this will be a car built with performance at its core, integrating racing technology straight into a vehicle you can register and drive every day.
Here is a look at the rumors and confirmed details surrounding Ford’s next halo vehicle.

The Speculation: A New GT or Something Wilder?
The most common question surrounding the Ford Racing production road car is whether it will be the third-generation Ford GT. The GT has long served as Ford’s supercar benchmark, and a successor would mark a celebrated return to the company’s two-door supercar roots.
However, other possibilities are equally tantalizing and underscore Ford’s goal to redefine performance:
- Extreme Mustang GTD: Rumors suggest a potential successor or derivative to the GTD, designed to challenge the new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X on the Nürburgring.
- Electrified Off-Roader: CEO Jim Farley has previously hinted at a 1,000-horsepower electrified off-road supercar, combining EV power with rally-inspired durability.
The integration of technology learned from Ford’s upcoming F1 partnership with Red Bull—focusing on hybrid and electrified performance—strongly suggests the Ford Racing production road car will feature some form of electrification.
Final Thoughts
With its global motorsport program, including NASCAR, endurance, and its F1 return, Ford is signaling that the racetrack remains its ultimate proving ground. The reveal of the Ford Racing production road car on January 15, 2026, promises to be one of the most important dates in the Blue Oval’s modern performance history, settling the long-standing debate over the next Ford halo car.
