Ford GN34
The Ford GN34 was a mid-engine prototype developed in partnership with Yamaha and built in Italy by Ghia in 1985.
Vehicle Overview
The Ford GN34: A first-generation EXP was modified as an early “test mule” for the 3.0 L SHO V6 engine co-developed between Ford and Yamaha and was part of Ford’s GN34 program built in Italy by Ghia to develop a mid-engine sports car. Some were made RWD with the Yamaha V6 on display in the rear bubble hatch while others were AWD models with the V6 under the hatch as well. Some V6s were punched from 3.0 to 3.2 to 3.4 to 3.6 liters all mated to a ZF-5 transmissions. It is unknown how many EXP-based test mules were built; later prototypes were custom-built designs. The mid-engine sports car was shelved in the late 1980s, with the Ford-Yamaha V6 engine leading to the introduction of the Ford Taurus SHO sports sedan.
