How much horsepower does a Ford GT Badd GT have?

The official Ford GT horsepower depends on the model and year. In current production, the street Ford GT delivers 647 horsepower; the 2005–2006 GT produced 550 horsepower. There is no factory model named “Badd GT.” Here’s a clear, up-to-date rundown of the main variants and their power output.


Context and scope


To avoid confusion, this article focuses on the horsepower figures published by Ford for the production Ford GT variants and the notable track-focused Mk II. Aftermarket builds, concept cars, or nicknames may show different numbers.


Horsepower by Ford GT Variant


First-generation Ford GT (2005–2006)


The 2005–2006 Ford GT is powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged V8, producing 550 horsepower. It was the modern homage to the original Le Mans-winning GT40.


Second-generation Ford GT (2017–2022)


The contemporary Ford GT uses a 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 yielding 647 horsepower, with torque around 550 lb-ft. This generation emphasizes advanced aerodynamics and modern performance engineering while delivering supercar-level acceleration.


Ford GT Mk II (track-only variant)


The Ford GT Mk II, a track-focused version developed with Multimatic, produces well over 700 horsepower. It is not street-legal and showcases enhanced performance hardware for racing applications.


Bottom line: Street-legal Ford GTs today deliver 647 horsepower in the current generation; earlier street cars delivered 550 horsepower. If you encounter the term “Badd GT,” it likely refers to aftermarket customization or a nickname rather than an official Ford specification.


Additional context


Ford’s GT program began with the original 2005 model and continued with the second-generation run until around the 2022 model year. Aftermarket tuners and limited editions may push horsepower higher, but factory numbers remain as listed above.


Summary


In brief, the Ford GT’s horsepower ranges from 550 hp (2005–2006) to 647 hp (2017–2022) in stock form, with the track-focused Mk II exceeding 700 hp. The term “Badd GT” is not an official Ford designation, so verify the exact model year and variant to know the precise horsepower.
