Ford<\/a> CEO Jim Farley has been doing a lot of thinking lately. He’s pushing the legendary automaker toward an electric future and a streamlined manufacturing process, with the goal of building affordable electric vehicles. That’s great and all, but Farley also has some thoughts on what should follow the high-priced, high-performance Mustang GTD<\/a>, and he has his sights set away from the track.<\/p>\n Farley recently sat down with Bloomberg’s Hot Pursuit<\/em><\/a> podcast, which isn’t out yet, but according to Automotive News<\/em><\/a>, the Blue Oval’s boss said, “No one’s ever built a supercar for gravel, high-speed sand, dirt. I’m thinking really deeply about it, and usually that turns into something.”<\/p>\n Farley revealed that he has asked his engineers to design a “1,000-horsepower, partially electric” off-road supercar concept, pointing to the success of the Raptor variants. “These Raptor people are telling us something,” Farley said on the podcast. “They’re not stupid. They’re really smart people. They spent $120,000 on an 800-horsepower pickup truck.”<\/p>\n If Ford were to make such a car, it’d follow the Mustang GTD formula: High price and limited production, according to Farley. The GTD costs $327,000<\/a> and Ford is only making 300 of them, so this off-roader wouldn’t be a product for everyday Ford buyers. It’d be something special, a nod to the Dakar Rally that Farley said he’d like to win.<\/p>\n Ford Just Beat the Mustang GTD’s N\u00fcrburgring Lap Time… With a Van<\/a> Ford CEO Jim Farley has been doing a lot of thinking lately.
