January 15 aa rahi hai, aur Ford kuch kaafi exciting announce karne ki tayari mein hai. jaise aajkal log kehte hai, "big things are coming". First, 2026 Detroit Auto show mein ek event hoga, jahan Ford apni new racing lineup ka first model unveil karegi. Pehle isse Ford performance ke name se jaana jata tha, but ab company apna apna original name wapas la rahi hai.
"Ab 2 months later jo Mustang aane wali hai, usko lekar kaafi rumors market mein hai. Recently ek test mule Nurburgring Nordschleife par spot hui hai, lag raha hai yeh Mustang GTD ka koi variant hai, but honestly abhi tak clear nahi hai, because brand ne koi details share nahi kiye hai.
Ford Racing will debut a new model in January
Yeh yaad rakhna zaroori hai ki Nürburgring at present Ford or General Motors ke beech ek zarbardast rivalry ka battleground bana hua hai, Both these american supercar "Green Hell" par lap record brake karne ki koshish mein lagi hui hai. Kuch months pehle Chevrolet ne yeh record apne naam kiya tha apni ZR1X ke saath, jo unka sabse extreme variant hai, front axle se connected hybrid system ke saath. Is wajah se yeh sabse powerful production Corvette ban gayi hai, or at the first time iss car mein all-wheel drive offer kiya hai.
Specifically, ZR1X ne 6:49.275 ka time mein complete kiya (Whereas ZR1- jismein hybrid system nahi hai iss car ne 6:50.763 mein complete kiya). Dhyaan dene wali baat yeh hai ki dono records "prototype" category mein daale gaye the. Prototype isliye nahi ki yeh test cars hai, bas isliye because yeh European market mein sell hi nahi hoti.
Competition with General Motors
Corvette Z06 ka 7:11.826 lap time bhi "prototype" category mein daala gaya, because yeh Europe-spec model se nahi, rather american-spec unit se set hua tha. but isse Ford ke CEO Jim farley ko kaafi bura laga, because ZR1 ki price approx. $150,000 kam hai Mustang GTD se, toh unke according yeh kaafi unfair lagta hai.
Is project ke baare mein abhi sirf itna hi pata hai ki yeh motorsports wali advanced technology use karega, same Mustang GTD ki tarah. Yeh basically new Ford racing division ke under launch hone wala first model hoga. Ek or possibility yeh bhi hai ki bilkul hi alag cheez nikle, ek aisi supercar jo kisi bhi high-performance Mustang jaisi na ho.
Will the Mustang GT500 make a come back?
Ho sakta hai ki Ford Michigan Central Station Par (Detroit Auto Show mein nahi) kuch bada plan kar rahe hai, maybe Mustang GTD ka koi new variant, ya phir finally long-awaited Mustang GT500 ka comeback, jo thodi electrified bhi ho sakti hai.
Agar aisa hota hai, toh Mustang family mein ek or variant add ho jayega already humare paas Mustang GT, Mustang Dark horse, or uska track-focused version Dark horse R bhi launch karti hai, jiska khud ka ek one-make racing series chalta hai. And top of that Mustang GT3 or GT4 jaise proper race cars bhi hai.
Jim fareley bhi ek off-road supercar ke baare mein baat kar chuke hai, kuch Porsche 911 Dakar ya Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato jaisi. Iski price approx. $300,000 (26.60 crore) hogi, or Dakar rally se inspired 1,000hp ka hybrid setup milega. But haan, yeh ek supercar hi hogi, koi Raptor T1+ jaisa dune-crushing pickup nahi, jaisa Sainz, Ekstrom, Roma ya Guthrie chalate hai.
Presentation of Red Bull-Ford Formula One
Unke racing programs ke baare mein details bhi expected hai ki Detroit event mein announce hogi, especially since Ford globally competitions mein participate kar rahi hai. Starting mein, 2026 Formula 1 season ke liye Red Bull or RB dono ki liveries reveal ki jayengi, yeh basically unki partnership ki shuruaat hogi blue oval brand ke saath, jo almost half century ke baad wapas aa raha hai F1 mein, jahan unhone Ford-Cosworth DFV V8 ke saath kabhi domination kiya tha.
We expect ki woh apne baaki racing programs ke baare mein or details share karenge, starting with the world Endurance Championship (NASCAR aur Dakar ke alawa, jahan woh Carlos Sainz or Lucas Cruz ke saath compete karte hai). Unhone already confirm kar diya hai ki woh 2027 mein wapas aayenge ek Oreca-based LMDh car ke saath. Ab log yeh bhi expect kar rahe hai Blue oval brand IMSA mein bhi entry le, woh bhi isi LMDh ke saath.
