Ford has teased a new addition to its GT supercar ahead of its reveal at next week's Goodwood Festival of Speed.

While Ford is yet to provide any information to accompany the single image provided, the addition of a huge rear wing and a roof-mounted air intake is obvious, and reeks of even more performance.

Ford Mustang EcoBoost Performance on the cards for Australia.

The upgrades to the Ford GT will likely accompany the twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre petrol V6 engine with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It will likely produce more than the standard model's 470kW of power and 731Nm of torque. With its extra power, the new GT could eclipse the ‘standard’ GT's claimed 3.2 second 0-100km/h sprint and 348km/h top speed.

The 'regular' Ford GT is claimed to be capable of a 3.2 second sprint to 100km/h.

Initially limited to a run of 1000 units, the Ford GT has been more popular than Ford’s expectations and the company expanded the production run to 1350 cars.

Despite this new addition to the range, the updated Ford GT is unlikely to be sold in Australia thanks to its left-hand drive-only status.

The Ford GT's interior could change with this update.

The new addition to the Ford GT will debut at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed, which commences on July 4.

Jake’s first word was Volvo, thanks to his parents’ preference for safety. He could identify pretty much every car on the road by the age of two and has annoyed family and friends by dragging them along to endless cars events since. He’s also been sketching cars in great detail since he could hold a pen. Having studied industrial design before his big break with Chasing Cars, Jake has a keen eye for aesthetics and innovation - his favourite pet topic is seat folding mechanisms, but also dabbles in cupholders and electric-folding mirrors. But above all else, Jake has a passion and respect for everything automotive - every car has its pros and cons. When he’s not living and breathing cars, he’s a loving partner and son, as well as brother to Max the Maltese Shih Tzu.
