Ford's GT Mk IV has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the fastest production car to ever lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife, completing the 12.9-mile (20.8-km) course in 6 minutes, 15.997 seconds. This record was set by driver Frédéric Vervisch, who has previously won the prestigious 24-hour race at this iconic track in 2019 and 2022. The Nürburgring, located in Germany's Eifel region, is notorious for its challenging layout, featuring hundreds of feet of elevation changes and numerous corners. While the GT Mk IV is an evolution of Ford's mid-engined supercar first introduced in 2016, its latest achievement places it among the elite in automotive history. The only cars to have recorded faster times are the Volkswagen ID.R and the Porsche 919 Evo, but since Vervisch's time is an official production car record, Ford can proudly claim the GT Mk IV as the third-fastest car overall to navigate this challenging circuit.
