Ford has claimed that its GT Mk IV, an evolution of the mid-engined supercar it created in 2016, has set the third-fastest lap time ever at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, with a time of 6:15.997 set by Frédéric Vervisch. This makes it the fastest car around the 'Ring that you can buy. However, this still leaves him with only Volkswagen's battery-electric ID.R and Porsche's hybrid 919 Evo as the fastest cars this century.
