The Ford Zakspeed Mustang Turbo, which its Wikipedia article calls the Ford Mustang GTX, was an American GT race car that Ford built for the GTX category of the IMSA GT Championship. It was built between 1979 and 1983, first on the second generation Mustang known as the Mustang II and later on the third generation Fox-body Mustang. Its first engine was a 1.7 litre twin-turbo four-cylinder supplied by Zakspeed that made around 450 kilowatts, replaced in 1982 by an enlarged 2.1 litre turbocharged variant of the Ford-Cosworth BDA. The car was light, at around 800 kilograms, and it competed in the new IMSA GTP category in 1982.
