The Ford Probe GTP, also sometimes called the Ford Mustang Probe GTP, was an IMSA GTP sports racing car designed, developed and built by German constructor Zakspeed and used by the Zakspeed Racing team in the 1985 IMSA GT Championship. Unlike the road car, which used a conventional front-engined design, the prototype race car was mid-engined, with the engine behind the driver but in front of the rear axle. It was powered by a 2.1 litre engine based on the Zakspeed 1500 used in Zakspeed's Formula 1 cars, which produced 600 horsepower in endurance racing trim, enough for the lightweight 1,770 pound vehicle, and drove the rear wheels through a five-speed Hewland VG5 manual transmission. Klaus Ludwig, Doc Bundy, Lyn St. James, Scott Pruett, Arie Luyendyk and Chip Robinson were among its drivers, with second places at Watkins Glen and Sears Point in 1985 and an outright win for Klaus Ludwig at Laguna Seca in 1986.
